1. The boss is around 50 or 60 years old. Sometimes instructions are unclear, and it is not easy to understand them quickly. When there are many things to handle, the boss easily loses their temper.
2. As a small company, the division of responsibilities is unclear. For example, when the photocopier broke and could not print, reporting it to the boss resulted in them asking why such a small task as printing could not be handled properly.
3. Administrative staff have to go to construction sites. Without basic physical strength and stamina, the work can be more demanding.
4. There is no supervisor; employees report directly to the boss. Many matters can be rather ambiguous, so it is necessary to understand the boss’s personal habits.
5. The company uses pirated software, and sudden updates may cause the software to stop working.
6. The office is temporarily rented next to the construction site. The environment is relatively basic and messy, and employees have to help tidy up and clean the toilets.

2. They say overtime pay can be calculated, but the boss and the boss’s wife use different methods, and it absolutely will not comply with the Labor Standards Act.
3. If the decisions made at the boss’s meetings are inconsistent with how the boss’s wife actually implements them, the boss’s wife’s version takes precedence.
4. The boss usually holds meetings during the lunch break or before the end of the workday.
5. There are no meeting minutes or follow-up; you have to listen to the boss complain about how much less money the Labor Standards Act makes him earn.
