Minpunten
Boss has very little understanding of professional boundaries. Personal life, relationships, and even social media activity can easily become office discussion topics. Better think twice before posting anything online because boss tends to monitor employees’ social media and personal activities. Once the boss knows something about you, somehow the whole office may know too. Extremely emotion-driven management style. Many decisions are made based on mood, personal feelings, or siapa yang currently kena favour instead of logic, professionalism, or proper discussion. Rational conversations are almost impossible because decisions can suddenly change ikut suka hati without consistency or accountability. No proper SOP, clear agreement, or stable structure. Rules feel temporary and depend heavily on boss’s mood that day. Employees are often expected to jaga boss emotions more than focusing on actual work quality. Favouritism culture is very obvious. Certain “favourite people” are trusted no matter what, while hardworking juniors and staff handling the actual daily workload are often overlooked. Recognition is selective. Mistakes are remembered louder than contributions. Workplace politics and drama are exhausting. Even if employees start off close and friendly, boss sometimes creates unnecessary tension by subtly pitting employees against one another instead of encouraging healthy communication. Gossip culture becomes normalised very quickly. Trust within teams slowly disappears because people become scared of saying the wrong thing. There are moments of subtle racism and unequal treatment that become difficult to ignore over time. Micromanagement culture is especially bad during WFH. Constant monitoring and questioning create a low-trust environment instead of productivity. Employees are hired for one role but slowly expected to do everything else without proper compensation, support, or appreciation. Last-minute changes happen constantly due to poor planning, yet employees are still expected to magically deliver results professionally. High turnover rate honestly explains the company culture better than management ever will. Good place to gain experience fast. Difficult place if you value professionalism, boundaries, fairness, stability, or peace of mind.
