Workplace reviews and discussion: 新科企業有限公司

Clocking in: Work starts at 9:00 a.m.; clocking in before 9:15 a.m. does not result in a salary deduction.

Overtime: The overtime pay promised during the interview became an “accountability-based system” after I started working, meaning no overtime pay was provided.

Work: I was originally responsible for platform marketing, but in the end I had to do everything, including image editing, advertising, exhibitions, platform management, sales, replying to customer emails, receiving clients, outdoor photo shoots, and many other miscellaneous tasks. Oh, and constantly redoing work was a major issue!

Performance bonuses: They do not exist.

Salary: They promised to adjust my salary to the agreed amount after the probationary period. When the probationary period ended, they used various excuses, saying they wanted to give me more time to develop, and refused to pay the salary originally promised.

Raises: Only about 500 per year.

Work environment: More senior employees would often, seemingly unintentionally, create more problems for you and even throw many strange issues at you to solve. When you asked questions, you would never get an answer; no one wanted to help you solve them.

Job training: Product explanations and work SOPs were provided in written form for you to read on your own, but they still contained errors.

As for the boss, all I can say is that she is eloquent. The so-called “reasoning” comes from her own version of the truth. She uses every possible argument to make you accept unreasonable policies and even unreasonable demands. The so-called “constructive communication” merely means making you accept everything unreasonable. When she asks you to come into the office and then says, “Close the door,” it means your situation is already hopeless.
