Workplace reviews and discussion: GaragePlay_車庫娛樂股份有限公司

Close to Chung Hsing Hospital, making it convenient to seek medical care.

This is a sweatshop-style company that violates the Labor Standards Act and operates under an all-inclusive salary system. Requiring employees to work unpaid overtime is standard practice. LINE messages are sent indiscriminately, even late at night and on holidays. If employees do not reply to LINE messages during holidays, the employer or supervisors may even lose their temper, causing employees tremendous psychological pressure. Employees are expected to work unpaid overtime over the long term and remain on call almost around the clock, seriously harming their quality of family life. Many employees have also resigned for health reasons.

The following is a list of the disadvantages:

1. Below-average salary and benefits (assistant position): NT$25,000

2. Frequent overtime, with no overtime pay or compensatory leave

3. Work assignments are chaotically reorganized every two months, making it difficult to steadily develop skills and experience

4. A lack of respect for professional expertise; staffing costs are cut wherever possible. Neither the business nor marketing staff have professional backgrounds; animators are assigned to do graphic design, and graphic designers are assigned to work as photographers

5. Work assignments are sent via LINE in the middle of the night. The employer pressures managers, managers pressure frontline staff, and everyone is pressured from above

6. There are many workaholics in the company who report to the employer that other employees are not sufficiently willing to submit

7. The employer wants to make art films but harbors strong hostility and prejudice toward arts-and-culture-minded people, resulting in editors who love art films being unable to stay for long

8. The office atmosphere is gloomy and hostile, and many people make sexist remarks, which is extremely difficult to tolerate

9. The employer is very good at making grand promises. According to senior employees, the year-end bonus and holiday banquet lottery only provoke derisive laughter; no one is satisfied

10. The company deliberately cultivates a hostile attitude toward other companies in the same industry and frequently brainwashes employees with malicious rumors that are difficult to distinguish from the truth
