The building’s elevators are very fast
1. When I first joined the company, new employees handed over work to other new employees, and colleagues were replaced frequently.
2. The workload is huge, and often absurdly so. Everyone works overtime (except for one department that doesn’t need to), but much of it consists of tasks where you don’t even know what you’re supposed to handle. In the end, some people are singled out and have points deducted.
3. The company uses an internal point system for evaluations. Usually, participating in weekend activities earns points. There’s no need to explain deductions—you can be penalized for any reason, seriously? (For example, not keeping your desk clean after work or not sorting your emails, haha.)
4. The company makes employees bear its losses—for example, by canceling the year-end banquet, year-end bonuses, and afternoon tea.
My thoughts:
I think there are still many good companies in Taiwan. At the very least, they respect your professional expertise and your character, and they won’t bully you just because you’ve recently graduated.
