Workplace reviews and discussion: 大慶玉石開發有限公司

Compared with the review below, the environment has changed slightly.

But I guarantee that everything I’m saying is true.

There is a lot of work, and there is always something to do, so time seems to pass very quickly.

There are cute dogs.

Most of the office colleagues are actually really nice.

Although the overtime pay really isn’t much, if you report it, they do pay it.

1. The proportion of employees who smoke is genuinely quite high. Although smoking and non-smoking areas are designated, anyone who really hates the smell of smoke should think twice.

2. Some employees are relatively direct in their behavior. If you are uncomfortable around straight men, I don’t think this workplace is very suitable either....

3. Regarding deductions from pay based on the selling price, I think they are reasonable in some cases: if a client refuses to bear a cost, it can be passed on to the employee responsible for handling the matter; if that employee was genuinely at fault, then it is fine as long as both parties discuss and agree on it. However, I cannot accept costs that cannot be categorized as the person’s fault being forcibly passed on to the employee who submitted the printing order before the facts have been investigated. I believe the company should proactively explain the matter to the employee whose pay is being deducted. If the employee has questions, they should not be required to raise the matter with a supervisor on their own. The reason is simple: since the company believes that deducting my pay is justified, I do not think there is any need for me to appeal to higher management. I suggest that, before deducting pay in the future, the company should explain the matter in advance and have the employee sign a consent form agreeing to the deduction. Otherwise, when there is no mutual understanding, isn’t it contradictory to say on the one hand that this is our hard-earned money and that the company does not want to deduct it, while still making the employee fight to avoid having money deducted?

4. I suggest that the actual selling prices of products sent to external vendors for printing should always be quoted by the accounting department. If the price given to the client is incorrect, the accounting department should explain it to the client directly. The employee who submits the printing order is not only responsible for the design, but must also continually negotiate prices with the vendor and then quote the price to the client. In reality, however, office staff have no actual authority to set prices. If any mistake occurs, yet the deduction is taken from the pay of an employee who handled no flow of money whatsoever, that is truly unreasonable.

5. In fact, over the past few months, the company has gradually established some rules that move things in a better direction. I believe this is the result of everyone’s joint efforts, so it is not that there are no positive aspects. I think having a fixed submission time is a good practice, and I hope more positive measures like this can gradually be introduced.

6. I was actually quite surprised that no one asked me why I was leaving. I submitted my resignation, and then my salary was calculated through that day without anyone asking the reason. However, the internal rules posted on the wall actually state that employees must give one month’s advance notice. Should the internal rules on the wall be updated?

Finally, everything I have said is true and contains absolutely no malicious intent.

I do not accept any action taken by the employer on the grounds of asking me to withdraw these statements.

If even telling the truth is not allowed on this website, that would be truly bleak.
