Workplace reviews and discussion: 七盟電子工業股份有限公司

None

The cooperation between labor and management is based on a 【very unreasonable】 foundation:

One reason: Taking the overseas sales team where I worked as an example, Qimeng refers to a company with seven shareholders that was established 30 years ago. In the overseas sales B2B market, the market size is fixed and only that large. Therefore, since the company was established, the seven shareholders’ relatives have already gone through all the customers once and have secured the first-, second-, and third-tier customers in the market who place orders. What remains are the customers they believe will not place orders, which they leave for a group of inexperienced newcomers like you—who do not know any better—to develop. Therefore, only the relatives of the seven shareholders know the real reason those customers will not place orders, but they will not tell you. So you just foolishly continue doing this. After three or six months, if you have not developed any customers and your performance does not meet the company’s requirements, either you recognize the difficulty and resign, or you wait for the company to lay you off.

Reason two: In overseas sales, in addition to starting customer development 【from scratch】, you must also serve concurrently as a product manager (PM), working with the R&D staff to develop new products. Therefore, as soon as I took up the position, I had major responsibilities and was unable to handle everything at once, leaving me feeling powerless.

Reason three: I can accept work that I consider unreasonable. The problem is that the company was unwilling to give me time to learn and figure things out. In the end, because I asked the company to assign customers to me to work on, I was inexplicably laid off.

Do you think they were being reasonable or unreasonable?
