Workplace reviews and discussion: 杏一醫療用品股份有限公司

1. For fresh graduates, if you don’t have a better option, it’s not bad to go in and spend one or two years there. Personally, I think it’s a pretty good stepping stone, because the company is always understaffed, so the breadth of work you get exposed to is substantial.

2. Besides the breadth of work, since it’s related to the healthcare system, you’ll learn quite a bit about health education. It’s also pretty good just to take it in as general knowledge.

3. The workload is huge, so be mentally prepared—it’s insanely, unbelievably busy! Unless you plan to slack off the whole way. But honestly, if you want to slack off, don’t come to M、すル浪費青春，不值得（認真）

4. Since it’s a stepping stone, it’s important to treat yourself like a sponge and set learning goals. Otherwise, it won’t help you move upward after you leave.

1. The promotion channel may look open, but in reality it’s very opaque. (Ability isn’t the key point; if you have direct access to upper management, you can still get promoted even if you lack the ability.)

2. They want the horse to be good while also refusing to let it eat grass. If they haven’t squeezed out every last bit of value from you, then it’s not M、すル.

3. In supervisors’ eyes, employees who resign will absolutely have no promising future. But the truth is, only after leaving do you realize what it means to be a frog in a well.

4. At headquarters, if you don’t have a professional allowance (for healthcare-related professional qualifications) and your educational background is slightly worse than others’ (master’s > bachelor’s > junior college), you’ll discover that the pay conditions suffer from an extremely serious problem: equal work for unequal pay.

5. I’ve heard that my position is supposedly worth an annual salary of one million, but my tax withholding statements have never reached one million.

6. I’ve heard the company always thought I wouldn’t be able to find a good job after resigning. In fact, my new job has given me:

(1) A genuine two-day weekend (at M、すル, don’t even dream of having a genuine two-day weekend). Quality of life is priceless!!

(2) Regular working hours from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (At M、すル, the earliest I ever got off work was 8:30 p.m.; my clock-out time was regularly between 9:30 and 10:30 p.m.)

(3) The ability to receive overtime pay (I never received any at M、すル!! Do you know that? Even if the company implements it properly, converting it into bonus money is still a huge loss for you. Overtime pay is tax-exempt, while bonus money is subject to supplementary health insurance premiums and can also push you into a higher income-tax bracket.)

(4) Of course, compared with other small companies, the company’s pay isn’t bad! But as the supposed leader in healthcare distribution, it always compares itself only with bottom-tier, non-enterprise companies—isn’t that embarrassing? It should compare itself with the top 500 enterprises to be fair! Come on, do better, okay?

(5) Excluding overtime pay, I already earn an annual salary of one million at my current job—something I never received in my more than six years at M、すル. My work is still an administrative support role; I didn’t switch to sales! An annual salary of one million is absolutely not due to sales performance allowances, okay? Muah~

7. In short, leaving M、すル opens up a whole new world!

8. As someone from the 1980s generation, I’m definitely not a strawberry!
