After countless ideological struggles, I decided to write it down.
Let the friends who are starting a business be encouraged, and the children who are just starting out to find a job must keep their eyes open and not be deceived by appearances. Our boss, whose name I will not reveal because he is a public figure, is a director (or is he a general manager?) who has been working in a traditional enterprise of a listed group for more than ten years. After leaving the traditional enterprise, he forced himself to start a business in the Internet circle. .
In the end, the team he led all resigned within half a year, and they all had negative reviews of him.
To be honest, I admire his courage and determination very much. He also let us know that a person can be so shameless and shameless. (If you want to refute my claim that starting a business is hard and the boss can’t help it, I’m too naive. Please read the story first.)
I just graduated and joined a Fortune 500 foreign company, working as a translator and administrator. Later, my brain broke. I quit my job and wanted to find a more interesting job. I interviewed several companies and finally arrived at CJ Company. At that time, I didn’t know that my nightmare had begun.
The interview is divided into three rounds: administrative interview, supervisor interview and boss interview, which is divided into three days. The interview method of Daguai Upgrade made me feel that this company is very formal and rigorous, and my good impression doubled. The boss is definitely a man who you would think is a handsome gentleman when you see him on the street. He is well-spoken and persuasive. He can always scare people with a few words. Therefore, he has negotiated a lot of free cooperation. I admire him for this. .
The boss’ conditions at that time were:
The company was shooting short videos. When I first joined, there were no works in the preparation stage. The partner was a great YTV director, and he was involved in shooting and filming. The editing team also all came from Y TV, and several big names in the cultural industry were hired as consultants. They didn't have to work, and they still received high salaries just by signing up. When I first joined the job, I was stunned for a moment and thought it was so fucking awesome (thinking about it now that I have never seen the world and never been tricked, I really deserved to be tricked)
After holding it in for half a year, the video was shot Okay, all the big names in the field are invited to be the keynote speakers. I discovered a problem at that time. The video was dark in tone (seeing it now is because the editor was too lazy to adjust the color at the time), the lines were boring, there was no plot or logic, the editing was confusing and the subtitles were wrong, and the scenery was tacky (to be honest, any video on Meipai Miaopai and Douyin was better than his). Much more interesting and nutritious). But the equipment used is good, and the whole picture is very high-quality, but that’s it.
The boss asked us to make suggestions. We told the truth and made many suggestions. He was unwilling and reprimanded us and said: You must watch this video from the perspective of the new middle class. This video The focus is on texture. . . . After too many times, we stopped making suggestions, and the entire operation team entered a Buddhist state. If the boss says A, it is A. If the boss says B, we would never dare to say C.
Our company’s teams are distributed in two cities, the north and the south. The team in the north is responsible for shooting and editing the video and then giving it to the team in the south for operation and distribution.
The team in the north is headed by the partner, who is also the director of YTV, and the team in the south is headed by the urinary boss mentioned in the article.
The whole team wants to resign. It is definitely not because of some trivial matter, but because of a combination of many factors.
The consumption level and cost of living in Beijing are relatively high, and the salary is more than twice that of the southern team. We can understand that the types of work are different, but why did they specially invite an aunt to make lunch at noon? The company still reimburses the food, but the team in the south does not receive any benefits.
The team in the north was reimbursed several thousand dollars for a meal, and the team in the south had to ask for the reason when they were reimbursed for a one-way taxi. No matter what problems or contradictions arise, the partner, Director Y, will try his best to protect the interests of the northern team. We are not the same. We suffer a little loss when we are wronged. Our boss never gives a shit and even helps.
What makes people feel chilling is that they work hard for the boss, but the boss never stands on the side of the employees, or supports the group of friends who work hard for him behind the scenes.
During the New Year’s Day holiday, a colleague went to watch a concert in another province and took his computer with him to make plans in the hotel. I accidentally broke my computer and had to buy a new replacement. The supervisor promised that he would apply to the boss for public funds to buy a new one.
The supervisor called the boss to explain, but to his surprise, he only got one sentence: That's your business, okay, okay, don't talk about it anymore. The supervisor finally had to spend his own money to buy a computer for his colleague. To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that there were too few people and no clear division of labor, and the workload was too heavy, the team leader wouldn’t have had to run around with his computer during holidays. Moreover, the supervisor at that time gave the company a project worth RMB 50,000, and said that he would get a commission of a few thousand, which was reasonable.
So what about the benefits he promised before?
1. For the so-called first fund, the finance manager said that the boss has never planned to apply for it.
2. Options are not written in the contract
3. Various bonuses are ignored
4. One person works for three people It is common to work overtime, and we are on call 24 hours a day during holidays. There is never any overtime pay. We will just say "Thank you" and put an exclamation mark on it.
The boss has invested in several other projects and companies, and every time he puts our team’s affairs at the end. When the time comes to get off work, he will most likely start to assign tasks or suddenly ask for some documents. So, there is no doubt that I will work overtime.
I mentioned my resignation after half a year of working. Originally, the start-up company was short of manpower and funds. I did three types of work by myself, and worked overtime on Saturdays and Sundays. I had a fever, and I made a serious mistake at work. He mentioned this in the company group and asked everyone to take me as a warning. I had an emotional breakdown that time. My boyfriend also brainwashed me, calling a dog less human than a boss, and persuaded me to resign and work in his company.
I resigned from him the next day, but he kept trying to persuade me to stay. He said a lot of sentimental words, gave me a salary increase, and promised to give me more year-end bonuses. He started to recruit people because he was short of manpower. So I was really mentally retarded at the time, but I still had a soft heart and stayed.
No money but willful enough
The performance of the company’s products has not been good for half a year, but it brainwashed us again and again that the outside world recognized and liked our products. Many people thought I only chose a few of them to cooperate with us. Later I thought about it because the products were very unpalatable, but they wanted to stabilize us, so they exaggerated to convey the opposite message to us, because at that time some of the team members had already started I have doubts about the quality of the product, including me. Shouldn’t we all discuss how to improve this situation? Why do you keep telling us lies in an attempt to distort right and wrong?
Do you think that’s all our boss’s urinary qualities are? No No No! One day, the boss suddenly said that the entire team would move to Beijing. He said that there were more resources there, more projects and companies to cooperate with, and it would be easier to make money. He said that he would move next week and asked if anyone would like to go to Beijing with him. If he doesn't, he will resign, or go to work in another company he invested in, right next door, with the same salary.
What the fuck? You’re moving next week and you’re telling me now? The salary remains unchanged? Except for the two new friends who were willing to go (supervisor and team leader), most of the people stayed in the south.
So the team leader and supervisor flew to Beijing the next week, and the team leader came back every two weeks to handle the rental. Since the lease had not expired, the subletting procedure was very troublesome, and he had to pack his luggage and send it to Beijing. Thinking about the express delivery fee, it should cost a lot of money. Since the supervisor’s wife and children are in the south, he goes back to the south to visit him once a month. Three months later, the team leader finally sold the house. The boss called and said: Oh, you may still have to stay in the south, so there is no need to go to Beijing for now. . . .
In addition, our boss also taught me what it means to be "generous to others."
This starts with the designer of our company. It can be said that he was also miserably cheated by his boss. After graduating from graduate school, I went to Taiwan as an exchange student and won various design awards. I won a lot of bonuses when I was in school. I can say that I am very outstanding. Before coming to our company for an interview, another company offered me a very generous package, including a fixed commission for doing design projects for other companies. When we arrived at our company for an interview, our boss said: Projects, I also have many projects that I can do for you. Then he started to brainwash the designer, saying how awesome and powerful our company is. This designer resolutely joined our company under the objection of his senior sister, and he was very enthusiastic. Later, the boss did assign him many projects from other companies, but he didn't pay a penny. They all asked the boss to do favors.
You can often hear our boss being very generous in various cooperation groups and on the phone: How about you let our designers help you make a logo or banner~ (Designers often think You have to lift the table) You know, as a designer, we usually accept jobs with clearly marked prices, but we have never met such a shameless person as our boss, who always makes free favors.
It’s hard for everyone to endure it until the end of the year. Think about it, we really don’t covet much. This year has really been a mess, and we basically have no life and world of our own. Every weekend, we are on tenterhooks and afraid of WeChat. Looking for the boss. At least thirteen salary. In the end, we still underestimated how shameless he was. No matter who he was, he would get a bonus of 2K. Then we asked the finance department to explain to us that there was no profit this year and investors would not give us money.
They should really treat us as beggars. To be honest, my parents gave us more red envelopes during the Spring Festival than him. Do you want to ask me, should such a boss not be fired but kept for the New Year? No, no, no, I won’t keep it for the New Year, so I called to resign before the New Year. He asked me: Why?
Why don’t you have any fucking ideas?
