Workplace reviews and discussion: 中聯油脂股份有限公司

For a traditional industry company, the salary and benefits are pretty good.

The HR manager tricked people into joining by saying that the work was simple every day. As it turned out, there were tons of projects, and there was so much work that I had to take it home. Every department kept reporting insufficient staffing, but not only were they ignored—some departments even cut staff. People are constantly coming and going.

The company’s current policy is to flatter and cater to new employees while being indifferent to some long-serving employees. Veteran employees just slack off and refuse to do anything extra, even when it would benefit the company. No wonder there is a generational gap at the company: only older employees remain, unable to change jobs, while new employees keep coming and going.

And the most outrageous thing I heard is that people are not treated with respect. For example, the former head of the Essential Oils Section was demoted to team leader and then further demoted to technician. The head of the Product Research Section was demoted to specialist, then later promoted back to section head because the company could never recruit a manager.
