Workplace reviews and discussion: 東貝光電科技股份有限公司

The other temporary workers at the time were all pretty nice.

The vast majority were foreign workers, and the foreign workers were forced to work 16 hours every day—every single day. There were very few Taiwanese full-time employees, and they were all extremely short-tempered, shouting and yelling as if they were herding cattle or sheep. Almost all of the Taiwanese frontline employees were temporary workers. Supervisors would lose their tempers whenever they felt like it; whether you wanted to do the work or not was up to you. The company had new temporary workers starting every day, so they weren't afraid of running out of people to do the work.

If they didn't like you, they would hand you a resignation form and tell you to get lost.
