Workplace reviews and discussion: 目川文化數位股份有限公司

Overseas employee trips, management with a European-American style, one or two company dinners a year, and harmonious relationships among colleagues

The workload is extremely uneven. Sometimes a large amount of work suddenly needs to be completed in the afternoon; occasionally, employees work one or two hours past the end of the workday without overtime pay. The supervisor says that colleagues need to share the burden of time, and striving for the company is naturally within the scope of their responsibilities.

The work itself is not difficult, but there are many details to pay attention to outside of the work. Each employee is given only one package of toilet paper per month, and must sign to confirm that they personally received it, so the quantity can be calculated and the supervisor can consolidate the number of packages remaining. Time spent in the bathroom is also monitored; if someone stays too long, they may occasionally be questioned.

Internal communication is conducted entirely through Skype, so employees do not deliberately log out and then log back in the next day. Later, it was learned by chance that the supervisor actually knew the content of conversations among colleagues on Skype. After checking the computer usage records, it was discovered that the computer had been restarted after work. The connection between these two facts was obvious.

A resigning employee even stated that, despite having no connection whatsoever online, they discovered that the supervisor occasionally viewed the resigning employee’s account on social media, leaving the employee confused.

The work may be easy, but interpersonal relationships are the biggest challenge of this job.
