Workplace reviews and discussion: 太古華電實業股份有限公司

How has a company with such a high employee turnover rate managed to survive for so long? What is it relying on?

It makes huge amounts of money from clients, yet pays you an extremely low salary.

The company places great emphasis on certifications. Whether you have practical experience or certifications, the salary it offers is worse than what other companies provide.

During the interview,

They first tell you a story about an eagle molting and losing a whole pile of feathers.

Then they tell you that, to be reborn at Taigu Huadian, you must first let go of yourself.

Letting go of yourself means letting go of your salary first.

Learning things is the most important part.

The company really likes having you work overtime. Before the one fixed day off and one flexible rest day policy, they would ask you to work on holidays and pay you an hourly wage.

The hourly wage is calculated as your base salary divided by 30 and then divided by 8.

Then the hourly wage comes to less than 100 dollars. Why? Because they keep the hourly wage very low and add the rest of the salary as bonuses.

An hourly wage of less than 100 dollars is a complete insult to my certifications and professional skills.

I would make more money working at a hostess bar.

As for how they operate after the one fixed day off and one flexible rest day policy, perhaps the junior employees who came after me can report on that.

There are countless ways to deduct money; the bonus system is especially good at shortchanging you.

The so-called engineers at this company

are basically people without professional training. What is this business of having senior employees teach junior employees?

And what is this business of having senior employees search for information on Google after work to teach inexperienced employees?

Then they arrogantly say, “I didn’t bring you to Taigu to learn. I brought you here to make money for me.”

So you come to attend classes after work to learn so-called professional knowledge that can be found simply by searching Google, and you don’t get paid for it.

After you have received this professional training, if something goes wrong, the employee is entirely responsible. Don’t expect the company to cover the portion of the losses you have to pay.

It is the concept of a business requiring no capital.

Senior employees expect you to be on call at all times.

Even if you are at Bai Nü Xiao Qin, you are still expected to answer the phone at any time.

If you are not short of money and want to toughen your mind and body,

welcome to sign up for Taiko no Tatsujin.

Let me make this clear:

We are not delicate strawberries.

If you can afford to pay us a proper salary, we are willing to work overtime for the company until we are exhausted like dogs.

If the company can only afford to pay peanuts, naturally it can only hire monkeys.

Once, there was a high-paying job right in front of me, but I didn’t appreciate it.

Only after losing it did I regret it; there is no greater pain in this world.

If Heaven could give me the chance to do it all over again, I would tell this Taiko potato person to f*** their mother.

If I had to give Taigu a score,

I would give it negative 100 points......
