What corporate culture offends employees the most?

Two days ago, a WeChat screenshot of Sha Xiaopi, the founder of Visual Magazine, went viral on WeChat Moments. The content was that on the winter solstice & Christmas day, the company’s annual big draw would be given to everyone in Visual Magazine. Every employee was given a 256G iPhone

So, what is corporate culture? Many companies hang banners, shout slogans, and give blood. In fact, corporate culture is a kind of values, a vision, and an action that allows employees to form unified cognitions and convergent behaviors at work.

However, in real life, there are always some corporate cultures that are offensive, but still exist strongly in various companies. Today we will take stock of them.

1. Unpaid overtime

For external recruitment, you work from 9 to 5 plus weekends. Work is arranged as soon as you get off work. As soon as you get off work on time, you are put into shoes. There is never overtime pay for overtime work. Or to take a break, even if you have nothing to do, you still have to work in the office until you get off work at 8 or 9 o'clock. This is also the "996 model" popular in the world (9 a.m. to 9 p.m., working six days a week). In fact, no company can avoid working overtime, but it must have a good system to allow employees to work overtime with as few complaints as possible. For example, Tencent's famous overtime culture: the company gets off work at 5:30, there is a company shuttle bus at 6:30, there is a Donglaishun work meal at 8 o'clock, and 10 Taxi rides after 1 o'clock are reimbursed. Looking at these three systems, the settings are just right and have a particularly good overtime rhythm. Therefore, any company that only talks about overtime without talking about benefits and culture is a rogue!

2. Let your personal WeChat ID frequently forward company information

Open a friend's circle of friends, all company promotional information: year-end rewards starting at 50% off, leaders meeting with industry leaders to release Asking for likes on strategic policies and company activities...it's just like a "floating army" account. WeChat is employees' own WeChat, and Moments is their own Moments. However, many companies require employees to post to Moments for both big and small things. They also require personnel to take screenshots for inspection. Those who fail to post or do so in groups will be punished. Who invented WeChat? Isn’t it okay if we don’t use it? It really doesn’t work!

3. Perfunctory team building

Team building for the sake of team building. No matter where you go, the leader will first make a false speech and then pose for various group photos; on weekends Engaging in team building takes up employees’ personal time; what’s more, if they just have a meal at every turn, mingling with each other at the wine table, or not toasting to the leader, it means they have low emotional intelligence, and they will never have a chance of promotion or salary increase...Team building, It was originally intended to make the team more cohesive and have more love for the company, but in the end it turned into all kinds of perfunctory things, and the employees couldn't tell the story of their suffering.

4. Inefficient and lengthy meetings

Some companies particularly like to hold meetings twice a day, each time lasting 2 or 3 hours. As for the content of the meeting, it is probably nothing more than the last meeting. Say what you have said again, discuss trivial matters again, ask for opinions one by one on everything, push the blame between various departments, overturn the conclusions of the previous meeting again and again and start the discussion again... inefficient Meetings are also a very annoying corporate culture!

5. Leaders with big butts are called “boss”

Some companies have a very strict “hierarchy system”. When you see the president five meters away, you have to pay tribute and give him a compliment before going to work. The leader pours water to clean the table, and even the department heads are addressed as "general". In this kind of "people-pleasing culture", cliques will gradually form, and the focus of work will shift to pleasing the leader, so that your work will gradually be separated from valuable things, and you will waste energy to please your superiors. This kind of corporate culture is also Makes you speechless!

In view of the above corporate culture, Ms. Zhao Zheng, senior career development consultant of Wuyou Elite Network, said that in the workplace, more and more post-90s generation are slowly appearing. This group of people are very attitude-oriented and They are energetic, creative and passionate. In addition to salary, they value personal career development and corporate culture. Therefore, for our managers, we need to change our thinking, abandon traditional management methods, mobilize employees' autonomy and participation, and create a corporate culture that conforms to the development of the times.
