Read the community guidelinesThe old boss is very good to the employees, providing lots of food, afternoon tea, snacks, drinks, and so on.
The workplace atmosphere is very poor. The old manager abuses their power and exploits gray areas. Those who go along with them can have a very pleasant time; everyone else is either given a hard time or has fault found with their work.
The senior employees are awful. The senior female employee is very good at snatching business and sees only profit. Even when she aggressively pushes products on customers in the store, everyone only talks about it behind her back.
One senior employee with a buzz cut thinks he is still in the military and wants to impose a seniority system, not realizing that everyone looks down on him. He also abuses his power and bullies newcomers.
Other senior employees either refuse to accept prescriptions or neglect their assigned areas. What is especially odd is that they also like to criticize others for not accepting prescriptions.
The senior female employee sitting in the back, the chubby one, is really arrogant. She has a bunch of underlings, talks very loudly, and is always right while everyone else is wrong. Normally, when she is not busy, she plays on her phone in her chair; after being busy for a moment, she says, “I never even have time to go to the bathroom.” She is late to work every day, and on top of that, she can eat breakfast in the basement—what a great deal!
The company’s system is very poor and is controlled and manipulated by a few people. The method for calculating annual leave has never been clear, and there is no sick leave (even though the company sells medicine).
The boss treats employees well and often provides afternoon tea.
The scheduling is extremely flexible.
Some colleagues put sales above everything else. When the phone rings, they pretend not to hear it and do not answer; when customers hand over prescriptions, they pretend not to see them; and when they see regular customers who are likely to buy products that count toward sales, they always intercept them first.
Several senior colleagues are particularly good at bullying newcomers. Prescriptions, replacing checkout receipt paper rolls, replacing invoices, restocking goods on the third floor, and so on are almost always dumped on the newcomers; this happens all the time. The senior employees also argue with one another over competing for sales.
The workplace atmosphere is poor. Senior employees act differently in front of and behind others. When the boss is away, groups of two or three openly criticize the newcomers and speak ill of them loudly in the store, right in front of them, and even take pride in it.
The annual leave policy is unclear and does not comply with the Labor Standards Act.
