Workplace reviews and discussion: 鑫霸企業股份有限公司

1. Representing Philips’ medical products, which is a big brand—provided you can safely get through the initial cramming period.

2. Paid study time at the beginning; all you have to do is study. Oh, and also clean the common areas like you did as a student—typhoon days are no exception.

3. You are required to bring your own bowl and utensils and eat the lunch cooked by the company. Everyone gathers around each day, looking at one another, to help you fit into the company.

4. Outside food and drinks are prohibited in the company. The company kindly prepares coffee and plain water for you; these are the only two things you may drink at work, helping you build a healthy foundation.

4. The shorter a man’s hair, the better; the more retro the outfit, the better. Their commitment to cultivating healthy, upward-minded young people runs very deep.

5. The boss checks on you every day.

6. Even if you resign voluntarily, you will still be paid, and they will not give you a hard time.

1. A drinking-and-entertaining culture: they believe that anyone who cannot drink is unsuitable for the job. They often inexplicably arrange various gatherings after work, require everyone to attend, and then require everyone to drink. The boss even drives after drinking.

2. If you want a hand-shaken drink, wait until after work. Don’t even think about ordering takeout—what era are we living in?

3. When the boss asks about your private life, never answer honestly. It is best to say that after work you eat, take a shower, and go to bed—otherwise,

if your private life does not fit his idea of an exemplary young person, you will be in trouble. Don’t make the same mistake I did by saying that you might play a game after work; in his eyes, you will then be a young person who loves playing games and lacks ambition. As long as the boss dislikes you, the supervisors below him will start having a problem with you. This is despite all the phone calls they made to persuade you to change jobs and all the promises they made about the salary and benefits—the supervisor will still turn against you and act as if they do not know you.
