Workplace reviews and discussion: 百勝國際股份有限公司

The colleagues are pretty nice (setting aside one colleague at the managerial level who will, intentionally or otherwise, trip everyone up). Other than that, I really can't think of any other advantages. QQ

The long discussion earlier was so entertaining—even the boss himself came out to whitewash his own reputation—but it ended up being deleted :(

Luckily, it has appeared again! As a former employee, I would also like to share my experience for anyone who might find it useful.

1. The higher the boss's IQ, the lower his EQ.

I believe no one in the entire company would disagree with this! When the boss is in a good mood, he jokes and laughs with you; when he's in a bad mood, he turns on you and acts as if he doesn't know you. No one can figure out what sets him off, and, unfortunately, he's often in a bad mood! You have to cautiously read his expression just to talk to him, terrified of touching one of his triggers. Having to be a mind reader at work is really exhausting. Although the salary he offers is slightly above average (but he himself thinks it's extremely high, haha), dealing with his temper alone is enough to fill your entire day. The boss's mood swings and unpredictability are very tormenting. Honestly, given the salary, it's only just adequate.

2. The higher the boss's IQ, the stingier he is.

I don't think I'm exaggerating this point either. Most people should agree, right~ You can understand that bosses want to cut costs, but the colleagues have already done everything they can to save money, and the boss is still dissatisfied. He compares prices over every little thing, even though the time cost alone is already more than the amount saved. The money saved doesn't seem to be put toward employee benefits either (in fact, there don't seem to be any benefits at all). Yet the boss himself seems to be living very well. Sob sob sob.

Another thing I find especially outrageous is that the boss constantly complains that Client A doesn't pay and Client B doesn't remit payment on time, when in reality, he himself is the one most likely to delay payments to factories. Even though the company has received the customers' money, he keeps postponing the payment date. Colleagues responsible for dealing with suppliers receive collection calls from factories every now and then (not delays of just a day or two, or a week or two—the delays are measured in months). I sincerely feel sorry for the suppliers :((( Fortunately, while I was there, the boss never delayed the salaries of employees in Taiwan.

3. The higher the boss's IQ, the more likely he is to go back on his word.

I can't say for sure whether this is a shortcoming, but it really causes difficulties for the people doing the work below him. You proceed according to his original requirements, but just as the task is nearly complete, he says not to do it or changes to another plan. We often end up doing work for nothing.

4. The boss often "unintentionally" (I have to believe it was unintentional) delays employees' departure time.

On the surface, he says that no overtime is needed—how wonderful. But in reality, it is an outright responsibility-based system. Still, never mind; it seems many companies are like this. However, the boss likes to discuss things right before the end of the workday. After discussing them, they have to be carried out, right? So this inevitably delays leaving work. Once in a while is acceptable, but over the long term it is exhausting. orz

Maybe I have a relatively low tolerance for stress. These points alone put me under a great deal of mental pressure, to say nothing of the colleagues who handle foreign customers and, because of the time difference, have to deal with both the boss and customers after work.

After doing this job myself and then coming back to read the reviews, I sincerely feel that what the people on the first and second floors said was true, and not exaggerated or untrue. It's also not hard to understand why the turnover rate is so high. (The key point is that the boss still thinks it's the employees' problem. Sigh. If only one or two employees left, then perhaps it would indeed be the employees' problem. But if the turnover rate is this high, can it still be the employees' problem?) To the former colleagues still working at the company, please accept my deepest respect. I sincerely wish you all the best.
