Workplace reviews and discussion: 炯麟企業有限公司

Every day is painful; I go home crying.

Simply put, this is the worst company I have ever encountered. It would be one thing if the owner and his wife had bad tempers, but the personal attacks are extremely serious. I will explain the reasons why I believe the company is bad.

1. The owner’s wife personally attacks employees:

- On one occasion, I wrote an email to the factory. Because the owner’s wife could not understand the content of the email, she criticized me and lost her temper in front of all my colleagues: “What kind of email is this? Did you graduate from university? This is kindergarten-level work!”

- The owner’s wife said: “I know you graduated from a foreign-language department, so your understanding of numbers must be poor. Therefore, you cannot handle numbers.”

- “Your logic is fundamentally flawed! You have no logic!” (in front of the entire company)

2. There are problems with the allocation of work responsibilities:

- Although the position was clearly in marketing and sales, I was required to complete the Chinese-to-English translation of a contract in one afternoon, alone.

3. There are problems with the overtime system:

- Almost the entire company was made to work until around 20:00 because of the owner’s wife’s last-minute assignments, but there was no overtime pay and no compensatory leave.

4. She gave terrible advice before I resigned and complained about the salary I offered.

Overall, I strongly advise against working for this company.
