Some media companies may exaggerate the salary in the recruitment process to attract new people to join. However, after the actual entry, the company may reduce the salary or delay the payment for various reasons, hoping that the newcomers will accept this unfair treatment. This may be because the company wants to save costs, or is not fully prepared to pay the promised salary. Moreover, the media industry is famous for its fast-paced and high-intensity work. Some companies may regard overtime as the norm and ask newcomers to work overtime through encouragement or pressure.
This practice may lead to overwork of newcomers, physical and mental health problems, and seriously affect the balance between work and life. Some media companies may attract new people with good career prospects. But once a newcomer enters the company, it may be difficult to get real development opportunities. Promotion within the company may be blocked, or the promotion opportunities of newcomers are very limited. This may lead to a decline in the work enthusiasm of newcomers and a loss of opportunities for self-growth and development.
Other aspects of unfair treatment
There is a certain power struggle and internal politics in the media industry. Newcomers may find themselves in unfair treatment, such as unfair resource allocation, prejudice and discrimination. This may be because there is a bad organizational culture within the company, or some superior leaders are biased against newcomers. Some companies may lack measures to provide necessary training and support for newcomers, and newcomers may fall into a working environment without clear guidance.
In this case, I don't know enough about the company's business and workflow, and lack the necessary skills and knowledge. This may make it difficult for newcomers to adapt to work and affect their work performance and career growth. To sum up, the negative reasons of newcomers in media companies mainly include salary cheating, high-pressure overtime culture, lack of career development opportunities, unfair treatment and lack of training and support. Newcomers should be alert to relevant information when choosing companies, and look for companies with good reputation and care about employee welfare and development.
