Workplace reviews and discussion: 成吉思汗健身館有限公司

During your first month, you are brainwashed by supervisors from a scam operation into believing you can earn an annual salary of one million.

On the day you join, you must immediately sign a promissory note for NT$100,000 to prevent you from quitting. The purpose is to help you make up your mind to work hard and make money.

The company’s system is clear, and the salary is too high.

Each class is assigned an execution fee of x dollars (depending on the armband):

Yellow: 300, green: 400, blue: 500, orange: 600, purple and black: 700.

The base salary is NT$22,000. The number of classes conducted multiplied by x equals the monthly performance bonus. However, if you conduct fewer than 60 classes that month, you receive only the base salary; for 60 to 80 classes, x−100; for 80 to 100 classes, x−50; for 100 classes, x; and for more than 100 classes, x+50.

After the salary is totaled, an inexplicable 10% tax must be deducted (the company, afraid you might trouble yourself, tells you not to ask).

Employees are forbidden from dating one another and may not date members either; if caught, they are fired. However, managers, directors, and executive assistants are allowed to do so, with no dismissal or punishment—a legendary love story passed down through the ages.

To let everyone earn a little more money, after clocking out at 12:00, you must stay to maintain the facility’s cleanliness and attend meetings until after 2:00 (how considerate). You must clock in before 12:10.

The armband promotion system is clearly defined. You must take assessments in combat sports and powerlifting. Passing does not necessarily mean promotion; young people need training, not empty titles (out of consideration for supervisors’ hard work, supervisors are exempt from the assessments).

A mysterious voice: So how do you get promoted? You need to know how to generate performance and suck up.
