Workplace reviews and discussion: IKEA_宜家家居股份有限公司

The main advantage is probably that, for students working part-time, it is a job with fairly good pay. It is a good fit for people who do not mind a heavy workload.

1. Anyone who has worked at IKEA knows that the company provides employees with an anonymous grievance channel. The purpose is to use internal employees’ grievances to help the company improve. However, a manager in a certain department at one branch not only tried every possible way to identify people who filed complaints, but even threatened employees, saying that if they wanted to return to work in the future after resigning, she would definitely reject them. The original good intention behind anonymous grievances became the best way for the manager to make trouble for employees…

2. During the interview, the Human Resources department said that all salary and benefits would comply with the Labor Standards Act. However, when there were concerns that a supervisor was violating the Labor Standards Act, filing a complaint through the designated channel was unsuccessful, and we were even asked not to casually mention the Labor Standards Act or the labor bureau… If everything was supposed to comply with the Labor Standards Act from the start, why, when there were concerns, were they not resolved, but instead we were told to keep quiet?? Was the original assurance that everything would comply with the law just hypocritical?

3. When an individual works overtime because of work-related issues, they are not paid overtime; overtime pay is provided only when all employees in the entire department work overtime.

4. Employees are required to handle work matters during their days off, but when they handle them during working hours, they are scolded for not helping on-site. When they ask for overtime pay, they are told that other full-time employees also have to handle work matters after getting off work. Hello, I remember I applied for a part-time position, and I have classes during the hours I am not working…
