The boss and the accountant love to sow discord.
At first, all the employees worked very hard to help build up the company.
Everyone got along well and worked toward the same goal.
Less than a year later,
the true colors of the boss and the accountant were revealed.
They often use “favoritism” as a provocation to bully employees.
They love gossiping with employees.
The accountant (the boss’s older sister) treats secretly looking at employees’ LINE messages as something she has no choice but to do.
Then she even asks employees why they criticize the boss in private groups.
The boss and the accountant care very much about appearances.
Their actions behind the scenes are completely at odds with their public image.
The boss is never wrong.
Whenever something goes wrong, employees are used as scapegoats.
A design company that has been in business for nearly 10 years
still does not have a regular team of contractors
and even has to search online for contractors.
They put on a generous front,
but in reality, they even keep track of how long employees spend in the restroom.
The timing of turning on the air conditioning is also important.
If the accountant thinks it is not very hot and you turn on the air conditioning,
be careful—you may be met with sarcasm.
Coworkers are easy to get along with
The boss and the accountant favor the new and discard the old.
During interviews, they judge people by their appearance. Someone was once fired because they had too many acne scars on their face.
They appear generous on the surface, but are actually extremely stingy.
The company is understaffed, so one person is expected to do the work of three.
They are unwilling to spend money hiring capable designers.
They only look for inexpensive interns who are expected to know how to do everything.
If you go to the bathroom too many times, you will be placed on the termination list.
The company has an extremely high turnover rate.
As long as the client does not pay the final balance, they will not pay the contractor for the work.
This makes the contractors unwilling to respond, and then they blame the employees.
Employees who leave after contributing to the company are repaid by being made scapegoats.
They stab people in the back and portray what is right as wrong in meetings.
They can even keep bringing it up for the rest of that person's life.
I advise anyone considering an interview to think twice.
