Workplace reviews and discussion: 軟盟國際流行事業有限公司

The company has very few employees, colleagues get along well, and everyone is very united.

The company's decision-makers cut employees' salaries and positions without reason in order to reduce costs, and dismissed an employee who had worked there for 10 years without cause. Departing employees were also not given enough time to hand over their work to new hires. After joining the company, new employees had no idea where to start and no one to ask, because the division of other responsibilities was also very unclear. The company's decision-makers did not want to deal with this, resulting in poor continuity between tasks, but they would blame new employees for not handling things properly or criticize employees for other irrelevant reasons.

A very rigid and bureaucratic company. Company decisions are not discussed with employees; instead, family members discuss them privately and then issue orders for implementation. Only strategies decided by family members count as strategies, and they have also created many unwritten rules. Employees may be required to work overtime without pay, and their pay is deducted for arriving late or being caught eating breakfast. No employment contract was provided when I joined; only the company's personnel regulations were provided after I started work, and those regulations did not state that pay would be deducted for eating breakfast.

The company's decision-makers have no concept of organizational coordination. Rather than discussing matters with the relevant employees, they discuss them with core family members, and the division of responsibilities is unclear. Simply put, if a manager-level family member decides that an employee must perform duties not included in the personnel regulations, the employee has to tolerate taking on multiple roles and doing additional work without a pay increase. Moreover, regardless of their positions, core family members have absolute authority to manage the other employees. As long as they are dissatisfied with the work, they can demand that employees immediately change it to the way they want, without considering whether it conflicts with the employees' assigned responsibilities.

The core family members are highly suspicious of all other employees. Inventory must be checked once every day, and employees are required to report before entering the core family members' offices. Anyone who enters without prior notice is prohibited from doing so and will have their pay deducted.
