Read the community guidelinesThe facilities are very good. However, because there is no one specifically responsible for them, employees have to handle the hardware and software themselves (which takes time).
I’ve been away for quite some time, but I’ve still decided to write this down and share it with everyone… Those who don’t believe me can go find out for themselves…
I was shocked by the director as soon as I joined, because the way he referred to himself was unlike anything I had encountered before. He always used his own name as the subject, but after about three weeks, you get used to it. But in the end, you realize that the frightening part is that you’ve actually gotten used to it……
The company accepts almost every project, regardless of whether anyone is available to do it or whether there is enough time. Unless a deadline is about to be missed, coworkers generally do not help one another, because everyone is already struggling to finish their own projects and no one has time to deal with yours. This leads to a very strange situation: some people cannot complete their work, and once the director finds out, he orders those who can do it to jump in and help. As a result, the people who cannot do the work can always leave on time, while those who can do it work themselves to death.
I remember one time when I was helping a coworker with a drawing (it was due the next day). At around 8 p.m., he said to me, “I can’t do it, and I’m not able to help here either, so I’m going home first.” Although that coworker has also left the company, I believe this was not an isolated case (he was a full-time employee, not an intern), because during the time I was there, at least five people were hired (including interns), and not one of them was able to provide any help.
Incidentally, interns were unpaid and received only a daily transportation allowance (you can imagine how low it was).
Finally, I’m not really trying to target anyone personally, but this was the first time I had encountered a manager (director) like this. To start with something positive: sometimes, when we worked overtime, he would buy meals for everyone.
From the moment you joined, you were divided into two categories. The first consisted of people he took a liking to; the second consisted of people he regarded as thorns in his side. Even those he liked would eventually be driven crazy by some of his comments, such as, “I could finish this in seconds.” Yet he himself could not do 3D work, so most people ended up becoming thorns in his side. Then his words would become genuinely unpleasant: “You seem like someone who has never studied,” “If you mess this up, I’ll fight you to the death……” But everyone was very nice, so at the time we just listened and let it go.
What was even stranger was that he would ask you to change things that the client had already approved, because before presenting them to the client, he would tell you, “Although you worked very hard, in XX’s [his name’s] eyes, this is only worth 70 points.”
Then some people may wonder why I haven’t mentioned the boss at all. It’s because the boss is simply a nice person who loves to paint grand visions.
If anyone wants to hear more, leave a comment below and I can answer your questions one by one. I can say that everything I mentioned above is something I personally saw, heard, or experienced. Why do I still want to come here and post this after leaving so long ago? Because in my current job, certain moments or things people said will sometimes flash through my mind, and I feel grateful once again that I left. I don’t believe that working in this industry means sacrificing your life, giving up your personal life, and selling your dignity. Coworkers and supervisors at a company should be on the same side, working together to create the best possible work for the client (perhaps that is what he had in mind, but his approach was wrong).
1. There really are absolutely no advantages.................................................
2. If there are any, please, please leave a comment below. I really want to know.
1. They treat employees like disposable chopsticks, using them up and discarding them, and seem to think they can treat students in the cram-school business the same way.
2. You can tell just by looking at the fact that as many as 40 employees have left.
3. The boss cannot retain people. The circle is very small, and every time someone becomes popular, they end up being made the butt of jokes and a topic of conversation.
3. Everyone who leaves either starts a business or goes to a better company.
4. They are still immersed in the idea that they are the ones giving us jobs.
5. I have never received a normal year-end bonus; there is always an excuse to deduct money or delay payment without paying it.
6. They are always making grand promises to new employees, without realizing that 15 employees resigned collectively.
7. They hired a director who can only talk. The AE is always saying how capable he is, but the work he produces is unbearable to look at.
8. The cram school's reputation has declined sharply because it only uses one teaching method, which never changes, and students have reacted to the courses.
9. It is always the employees' fault: the employees were not prepared, lacked ability, or had no time to study and practice on their own.
10. They exploit employees to the limit, are so greedy that they are understaffed, yet insist on taking every project; the commission percentages have no rhyme or reason.
11. I have never seen such a stingy boss. Even when going to get things from clients, we have to take the MRT, and they complain that photocopying at 7-Eleven is too expensive.
12. They say one thing and do another, changing every day. Today we do it according to their instructions; the next day they say it is wrong and start yelling.
13. Employees will resign; the shell department will resign too. In the end, when only two people were left at the company, there were 50 machines....
14. There are still far too many things that could be said—so many things for new employees who are victims to experience for themselves.
There are two types of people who join:
One has no experience and is only looking for a job to make money.
The other is capable and wants to lead everyone forward.
The first type finds a girlfriend.
The second type starts a business.
Two words to sum up the boss: contradictory.
The boss hates young people, yet also likes to hire them.
He hates that young people have no preconceptions, but whenever they propose ideas, he always shoots them down.
He hates that young people lack enthusiasm, but whenever they show passion, he always pours cold water on it.
He hates that young people lack experience, but considers experienced candidates too expensive—or worries they won't obey.
He is always painting grand visions, but everything he does goes against them.
He never says things directly, but posts rants on Facebook in private.
He doesn't understand the industry, yet doesn't respect expertise either.
He always puts equipment before people.
This place is like a large ship, but your captain doesn't know how to steer it.
The turnover rate is extremely high. Over the past two years, there has been no shortage of employees who want to lead teams,
but their enthusiasm is gradually worn away, one by one.
It really isn't worth wasting your life here.
