Svantaggi
I lasted three months at this trainwreck of a company before they fired me, and let me tell you, it was three months too long. I was hired to manage accounts for Mannings and a Japanese-owned supermarket, but two days in, the Sales and Marketing manager—let’s call him Mr. Incompetent—decided I should also run the GT session for drug stores. Why? They had no promoters and no plan, so they dumped it on me. I had to hunt down candidates on job boards, call them, interview them, hire them, and train them, all with zero support or direction. Just figure it out, they said. Then, out of nowhere, they fired a salesperson who’d been there nine months. Guess who got their accounts? Me. No handover, no training, just a list of contacts and a “good luck.” I spent a month and a half piecing it together, begging colleagues and sales admins for scraps of info to make sense of the mess. I got it done, but it was like solving a puzzle blindfolded. The real joke here is the management—or lack thereof. This company has no structure, no timelines, no clue. Mr. Incompetent, the Sales and Marketing manager, is a walking disaster. He runs Hong Kong operations like it’s his personal fiefdom, with zero time management and manners that would make a toddler cringe. After a month, he started ignoring my messages and giving me the cold shoulder, probably because he decided I wasn’t worth his time. He’s the kind of guy who’ll tank your work, then throw a fit if you dare mess with his schedule. Clueless doesn’t even begin to cover it. I cleaned up the previous salesperson’s chaos, handed it off perfectly, and hired five promoters for free, training them to fill the gaps. My thanks? A call from HR: “Your performance isn’t good enough.” No warning, no feedback, just a quick boot. This place loves firing people on a whim—five others left or got sacked in my short time there. I’ve worked over ten years and never seen a company this pathetic. No HR in Hong Kong, no marketing department, and the China office doesn’t give a damn about turnover. Mr. Incompetent runs the show into the ground, and they let him. Want to join? Don’t. This isn’t a workplace; it’s a warning. Save yourself and steer clear.
