The boss is easy to communicate with. He doesn’t nickel-and-dime you under various pretexts when it comes to salary and benefits, overtime pay is calculated accurately, and you get everything you’re supposed to. Everything follows labor laws. If he promises you something, he will definitely deliver. For a junior employee, he’s a great boss.

The following is all based on things I dreamed about, for reference only....

I’ve heard salespeople complain that the bonuses are too low, and that they always take on the lousy jobs that nobody else wants. They spoil the clients, and the clients’ drafts often have problems that we have to help fix, whereas in the industry they would normally be sent back to the clients for revisions. This place doesn’t have exploitative bosses so much as exploitative clients. Most colleagues aren’t bad people, but they’re very good at making sarcastic remarks about you. It’s best not to give others anything to gossip about in your daily life. Anyone with lower emotional resilience should think twice. Unless you’re already a veteran in large-format printing, this really isn’t a beginner-friendly environment. The machines often malfunction, the software used for processing images is slow, and the computers are slow too, so we often work overtime.

For an individual, the above are all minor issues; at least they can still be resolved. But the most serious problem with this company is that the supervisor has an inflated sense of self, is stubborn and arbitrary, and is petty, so if you offend him...be careful. He’s also too lazy to learn about his subordinates’ work, yet still wants to identify which parts of the process are causing problems. The problem is that he doesn’t even know what those parts are. He dislikes people who have opinions differing from his own. Every week, he requires everyone to write meaningless weekly reports, unaware that everyone is merely complying on the surface and writing some insignificant minor shortcomings to placate him. If there were any real problems, we would have discussed and resolved them privately long ago—there would be no need to wait until a meeting to discuss them. He likes wasting time in meetings, using them to propose improvements based on the perfunctory weekly reports everyone writes, but everyone is only humoring him. In reality, most of the problems have already been resolved, and everyone has worked them out among themselves; the supervisor has had nothing to do with it. I have no idea what we need this supervisor for. We might as well put a cat in charge—having it sit beside you all day, meowing and being cute without doing anything, would probably still be better than him, because at least cats can soothe people (there are lots of cat lovers at the company).
