You are expected to do everything except ride along. Anything in the factory that nobody wants to do becomes your department’s responsibility: painting, digging drainage ditches, cleaning toilets.
The team leader does none of the work. He comes to the company to drink, plant flowers, and cause trouble for people, and only does a little when there really aren’t enough workers. As a driver, he engages in all kinds of dangerous driving and occasionally even drives drunk. If you are riding along, make sure you get plenty of insurance coverage and recite Amitabha’s name on the road.
If you do not go along with the team leader, he will abuse his authority to make trouble for you in every possible way and will not stop until he gets rid of you. He is narrow-minded and underhanded. Even when he does not help, he secretly watches from the side to see whether you say anything bad about him. He often comes to the company to play on his phone and falsely claim overtime on holidays or after work. He dumps his work on others, but likes to take on work from other departments to save face and curry favor, causing the people under him to have more and more work.
Capable workers are overworked: you have to take on everything others refuse to do, yet you are still slandered and accused of doing nothing. Delivery assignments are also interfered with by people acting in bad faith. The exhausting, poorly paid routes always go to those being bullied, while the easy, well-paid ones are handled by the team leader and his sycophants.
A coworker surnamed Hsiao is particularly awful. Not only is his own work poor, he talks about others all day, fishes for information everywhere, embellishes it, and reports it to management. He pretends to be very close to you, treating you to food and drinks and calling you a brother, but you never know what he is doing behind your back. He owes a lot of money outside the company and started borrowing money from people around the company as soon as he arrived. After lending to him, you have to chase him repeatedly before you might get your money back. Yet he never seems short of money for smoking, chewing betel nut, eating, and drinking. He even uses money borrowed from others to show off and cultivate his image. He slacks off, sleeps, and shirks in all sorts of ways, and is only diligent when performing for others. He is very good at getting people to do his work—a complete two-faced person. It is best to stay away from him when there is no reason to interact. His forklift skills are terrible, but he loves driving it. He treats the forklift like a toy and insists on driving it over whenever he says he wants to help, but in reality he only gets in the way. The people who are actually quick and know how to operate it end up without a forklift to use. Company rules mean nothing to him, and the client’s operating rules are merely suggestions. He always gets his way, then shifts the blame when something goes wrong.
When the team leaders want to get rid of someone and bully them, anyone who does not cooperate will be humiliated, and you will be the next person bullied. Reporting it to upper management only gets you very strange responses. In the end, they may even say that you have poor emotional intelligence and do not know how to get along with people. If you join, do not let Team Leader Lin or the coworker surnamed Hsiao brainwash you. Everything they say sounds nice, but reality is entirely different. If you do not curry favor with them, you can expect them to drive you out. Unless you have no other option and no other company will hire you, I sincerely recommend that you do not come here to be mistreated. We are all people raised by our parents, just trying to make a living; there is no need to torment people like this.
