None. Absolutely none. I spent a year and four months being frozen out.
1. An unequal contract—this is already common knowledge. In the end, my supervisor issued an inexplicable ultimatum. I submitted my resignation and worked as a “volunteer” for a month… very virtuous.
2. As for the atmosphere, it is much the same as what others have described. In two simple words: “North Korea.”
A personality cult? Restrictions on communication? This place has them all!
Even searching Google can get you criticized for having an excessive number of clicks and spending too much time online; the report at the end of the year will be brought up for discussion. Internal emails are counted, hours spent on phone calls are counted, and the number of messages sent through the internal messaging software is counted too. (The only thing missing is having our phones tapped.)
Every month’s report must also include a reflection on the “Silicon Motion spirit” (I must not have enough Silicon Motion values stored up). Every day, you receive and read brainwashing articles from IMBA, but they never dare mention anything about employee turnover in the topics—it’s probably because they’re afraid of exposing themselves…
3. Supervisors have strong subjective biases. Once you are blacklisted during the new-hire training period, there is no saving you.
I don’t know what the errors in a new employee’s onboarding report—such as their ancestral origin and place of birth—have to do with my work.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. In later interviews of various kinds, my supervisor was practically attacking me personally and made no attempt to hide the intention of forcing me to resign. As for the subsequent stories about double standards or whatever other nonsense, I’m afraid the 5,000-character limit for this section probably won’t be enough to fit it all…
4. The IT department I worked in was constantly hiring because of its high turnover. Everyone tacitly understands that this place is simply not suitable for staying long-term—unless you identify with them so completely that you are willing to kneel and worship the Silicon Motion spirit, overflowing with Silicon Motion values.
