Read the community guidelinesNo clocking in:
Some colleagues arrive at work close to noon because they don’t have to clock in, and still leave at the normal time.
It’s easy to sneak in extra leave:
If you hold a position that’s indispensable to the boss, you can even openly take bereavement leave to go play in Japan.
Your salary is basically a gift:
Some colleagues go to the United States for one or two months each year for “comfort,” and the company lets you go without deducting your pay.
The boss has an overinflated sense of self-importance
The air conditioning is very cool, and the facilities are well-equipped.
The managers really like putting on an act, but they quickly reveal their true nature, so don't be fooled by their hypocritical faces. They don't respect professionalism; they only demand immediate answers, even though these matters require time for thought and discussion. The main points are still to come, yet after giving a great deal of feedback and ideas, the boss rejects everything and ultimately believes that their own judgment is the most correct and best. This work style is very disappointing and makes people feel disrespected, so in the end, the only choice is to leave.
Department managers really like calling people to work on holidays, leaving them no room to rest at all. They don't first try to understand the background of the matters or cases; they only blame the people below them first and interrogate them about everything. They lack the accountability expected of managers and only shift responsibility to their subordinates.
This work environment is truly terrible. Many people endure it again and again because of the salary, but in the end they discover that even if the company offers decent pay, money cannot make up for many things, no matter how much they are paid.
The company is very wealthy
- The scariest kind of family business, treating employees like slaves and ordering them around late at night and on holidays. You have no choice but to respond, and they like to loudly berate people by name.
- When the boss and managers make mistakes themselves, they like to blame subordinates and use them as scapegoats.
- They do not trust professionals. They hire specialists but refuse to listen to employees' opinions, leaving no room for discussion. Employees are required to carry out the boss's sole opinion, but when it ultimately fails, the employees are held responsible.
- What was described in the interview is completely different from the actual work after joining. The organization changed two or three times within just a few months, yet despite people constantly leaving, nothing improved. Employees are treated as disposable chopsticks.
- Only the boss's relatives or friends can become managers. Senior management has no professional capabilities, and talking to the managers is like playing a lute to a cow.
- There is no overtime pay, and requesting compensatory leave gets you put on a blacklist.
- They really like making employees pay out of pocket, while also requiring employees to submit their own reimbursement requests and then taking a long time to approve them.
- The entire family works at the company and treats it like their household kitchen, with employees treated as servants and ordered to wash dishes or clean.
- The turnover rate is truly far too high, and there are no professionals worth learning from.

Colleagues get along well.
It is a family-owned business, and to make matters worse, the boss acts like a princess. Senior management also sends messages on holidays asking people to work. They shirk responsibility at work as well, and often make many unreasonable, wildly unrealistic requests. In the end, they frequently reverse course completely, making it difficult for others to carry things out or assess the situation. In addition, there is a significant discrepancy between the position advertised and the actual duties required. Job seekers should carefully consider this.
