Some colleagues are good; others are not.
Relationships between colleagues are somewhat fake. Everyone only thinks of themselves, with a “at least I’m not the one being scolded” mentality. When mistakes are made, the bosses are unwilling to step up and take responsibility! They just silently listen while everyone else gets scolded. When the female boss encounters something she doesn’t know how to handle, she becomes very nervous, starts speaking louder, gets emotional, and tries to control everyone. She often says that everyone is one family, yet she doesn’t want colleagues to be too close privately (confused?).
She also often gives contradictory answers—one moment it’s one way, the next moment it’s another. If you ask her about something you don’t know, she says, “How could you not know? Didn’t I teach you already?” If you don’t ask, she’ll lecture you, saying, “Why didn’t you come and ask?” Also, don’t be fooled by how nice she seems during the interview; she is actually wearing a mask. After some time, you’ll see her true colors. Do not come to work here! You’ll only suffer.
The colleagues are okay.
Do not work for this company under any circumstances.
None
The boss’s wife is downright bizarre. During the interview, she kept talking about how other interviews had gone and about various people within the company, treating criticizing other people’s appearances as entertainment. She kept saying that she preferred the previous interviewee, yet later called to say that I had been hired.
The colleagues are very hypocritical and shift blame. The boss’s wife and the colleagues are all the same: they say it nicely, claiming they are not afraid of you asking questions and are only afraid that you will not ask, yet they treat you as if you were superhuman—you are expected to understand after being taught once, and if you ask a second time, they show impatience.
The boss’s wife sets dress requirements and the like according to her personal preferences, yet she herself wears semi-transparent tops that reveal layer upon layer of fat? Her memory also seems rather poor: she forgets things herself and then blames others.
The office environment is acceptable
Some colleagues are very kind
The company has no SOPs
Relationships among colleagues are too superficial
People who genuinely have problems managing their emotions never think they have a problem?? I’m really confused.
Everyone naturally assumes that some people are just very busy
Are the others not busy too?
Some colleagues are very nice
Run for your life—whatever you do, don't come
Some colleagues are pretty nice.
There are no systems, and interactions within the company are fake.
Long-time employees rely on their seniority and refuse to admit their mistakes.
If you are a masochist, you are welcome to join this company, where the boss's wife has a meltdown every day. There is no overtime pay, employees who dislike leaving work on time are not welcome, employees are required to look at product catalogs and familiarize themselves with the products during their lunch break, and they still have to help out in the warehouse after work.
If you are not a masochist, don't waste your time—run away quickly.
The colleagues are all very nice. You rarely have to work past 7 p.m. The office is very close to both the MRT and train stations. There is a refrigerator and a microwave. Salaries are paid on time (although payday is delayed when it falls on a holiday, payment is still made).
Compensatory leave for holiday event support must be used within a limited period (usually about one and a half months); once it expires, no compensatory leave or pay will be provided. Annual leave must be requested before the 30th in order to schedule it. The year-end bonus is paid in March and April installments.
The regular weekly meeting runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon; the record is 1 p.m. However, it actually contains very little substance. Most of the time is spent on normal energy release or endlessly going around in circles.
The audio from the energy release sessions is somewhat high-pitched, and the volume is a little loud.
At least 30% of working hours are spent in the above-mentioned environment, placing a relatively high burden on the eardrums.
One person manages three Facebook pages and must publish at least three posts a day (the expected number is five). Unless sharing posts from the original manufacturer or other partner organizations, one person completes everything from the graphics to the copy, and preferably also shoots videos. The actual position is online sales, requiring management of online channels, including order processing, customer service, inventory adjustments, and listing or delisting products. There are nominal sales targets, but no authority to propose campaigns.
All content to be posted on Facebook must be submitted in paper form for the leader’s review. If it does not pass review, the leader will notify you, but possibly a day later. Posted content must be something the leader can understand and must not involve issues that differ from the leader’s beliefs. The leader expects posts to use original-manufacturer materials whenever possible, such as product cutout images, and does not want staff to create their own illustrations (including hand-drawn product-use demonstrations), to avoid wasting time. Each week, you must submit a daily posting plan for the following week, as well as a detailed, itemized, hourly record of the previous week’s work.
The leader’s principles are the highest guiding principles, but the leader’s principles have no principles. The leader’s will is the central doctrine, and implementation is the sole mission. To create a relatively comfortable working environment for the group, do not question the leader. The leader dislikes people who have too many ideas of their own, including graphic designers with their own ideas. The leader cannot understand why some tasks need to take an entire afternoon instead of being completed over two days at two hours per day. The leader seriously questions why staff cannot spare 20–30 minutes to help in the warehouse after completing their daily routine tasks.
Suggestions and related materials proposed by everyone in the world except the leader’s children cannot enter the leader’s consciousness until the leader’s children propose them; however, failing to make them enter the leader’s consciousness beforehand is considered your dereliction of duty.
If there are protests outside the Legislative Yuan, the office may become an isolated island, requiring people to walk into the restricted area.
Glossary:
Frog at the bottom of the well / frog in the well: Refers to inaction—simply looking up at the sky and waiting for food to fall from above.
Brains splitting apart: Refers to activities being impossible to carry through across departments; whether and how they are implemented is determined subjectively by the leader.
The colleagues are very nice
The boss’s wife is neurotic and controlling. When scolding people, she often resorts to personal attacks, frequently goes back on her word, says one thing and does another, and is very emotional.
There is no legally compliant system for compensatory leave or additional pay for working weekends or overtime. Taking annual leave will also result in a deduction from the perfect-attendance bonus.
The company’s systems are terrible, and the equipment is also poor. Wi-Fi is not made available for employees to use, and there are no SOPs, so everything is chaotic.
