During the interview, they tell you that, regardless of your abilities, everyone starts at 28,000. After three months, your salary will be adjusted based on your performance. Benefits are said to be comparable to those at other companies—whatever others have, we have too. However, about a week after you start working, they give you a contract to sign, and its contents differ greatly from what was said in the interview. For example, regarding the salary calculation, there are various allowances. One of them is a “three-festival bonus allowance” of 4,000. After deducting 4,000 from 28,000, the actual salary is 24,000. The daily wage for normal workdays is 800. On Saturdays, Sundays, national holidays, and consecutive days off, you receive two-thirds of the salary, approximately 600. Labor and health insurance deductions are about 1,000. Altogether, it is less than 28,000. During months with a major holiday, they first deduct the 4,000 three-festival bonus allowance because the three-festival allowance includes the year-end bonus. You either get the year-end bonus or the three-festival allowance, and in addition, all leave taken that month is paid at two-thirds of the salary. They guarantee that you will have a miserable New Year. The year-end bonus is at most 30,000. Whether you have worked there for 10 or 20 years, the maximum is still 30,000. You have to beg for a raise, and even then, it is not guaranteed. There is no overtime pay because they say that having to work overtime means your abilities are insufficient—you are expected to do the work of two people because they want to save on manpower. Near the end of the workday, they may suddenly tell you that a customer is coming to pick up something needed tomorrow, so you have to make it immediately. Then they say that this proves you lack ability. Other than the three-festival allowance being included in the salary, there are no other benefits. Employee trips or staff dinners… You would be better off dreaming about them at night.
