Workplace reviews and discussion: 京元電子股份有限公司

Shift engineers. A certain X department refuses to grant leave for reasons such as saving departmental expenses. Even when leave is requested in advance, it is recorded as an unexcused absence. When you raise the issue with your supervisor, they cut you off after barely two or three sentences and snap, “If you’re unhappy, transfer to another unit” (although transfers are actually not allowed either). Production-line personnel are basically not allowed to use compensatory leave or annual leave. Those days off are accumulated for three years and then settled with you, but at a different salary calculation rate, effectively turning them into a company expense. Forced overtime is the norm. People who have been there a long time come to believe that overtime is the company doing you a favor, while deliberately understaffing and making life difficult for those below them. The company’s stated shift start time is earlier than the actual required start time, and as for leaving work on time... that would be a miracle. Job seekers, think twice.
