Workplace reviews and discussion: 樺霖有限公司

1. The office is very clean

2. The three seasonal bonuses are paid in cash

3. If you work overtime until 11 p.m., you can take a taxi home

4. I can't think of anything else...

1. The overtime is absolutely insane, with no overtime pay and no compensatory leave—an outright, complete violation of the Labor Standards Act. (I'm really curious why the company hasn't been sued.)

2. The seniority system is extremely serious. (Junior employees really need to have good emotional intelligence. They'll keep you after work to do things. They’re fucking crazy. Being rude to junior employees is apparently taken for granted. They don’t finish their own work and then expect junior employees to help complete it.)

3. Everyone in the Events Department likes to smoke. (Every day, the secondhand smoke makes me dizzy and gives me a headache. Their clothes and breath constantly smell like smoke.)

4. Department dinners are always about work, and supervisors will suddenly come back to work even while on vacation. (They’re completely obsessed with work—it's as if they have no life at all.)

5. As far as the Business Department is concerned, the Design Department has to be on standby at all times. (Do you think everyone is just like you and has no family or personal life?)

6. The turnover rate is insanely high—changing employees is no different from changing underwear.

7. Some coworkers are very cold. Everyone just focuses on their own work, and they aren’t friendly to newcomers either.

8. Mealtimes are never on schedule. On event days, almost no one cares what time they eat. (Sometimes you don’t get to eat all day.) Some coworkers even don’t dare eat because the iron-willed female boss hasn’t eaten yet. (If she ruins her stomach, can the boss give her own stomach to the employees?)

9. They say working hours are flexible, but the supervisor says you have to arrive before 10 a.m. (What the hell? We worked overtime until 4 a.m. the night before.)

10. Even after work and during holidays, they keep sending LINE messages nonstop. (They seriously think everyone has no life?

P.S. Unless you genuinely don’t need to sleep, eat, or take vacations, you really, really should not work for this company. The salary is extremely ordinary, but they treat employees like exploited laborers. If you leave work on time, they’ll think you have nothing to do. Absolutely do not believe them when they tell you during the interview that overtime only happens when there are events. In reality, there are very few days without events, and on those days they’ll have you prepare proposals, so you’ll still definitely have to work overtime.
