Workplace reviews and discussion: 銓隆工業股份有限公司

There are many migrant workers (Filipino, Thai, and Vietnamese) on the production lines, so it’s a good opportunity to practice English.

I previously worked on the production line as a part-timer for a year, and wages were frequently delayed.

Part-timers are like disposable chopsticks: once they’ve been used, they’re thrown away. Turnover is quite high, and even if you’re highly capable, you can still be replaced.

Because the migrant workers come from many different countries, factions among them are also seriously divided.

Before the Lunar New Year, wages were delayed (a supervisor merely announced in the group that at most half the wages would be paid). I asked the boss and supervisor in the part-timer group why the wages were being withheld, and was informed that I was being dismissed that same day.

On the day I was dismissed, everyone on the production line (full-time employees and part-timers) unexpectedly received their wages, so they could happily celebrate the New Year. Hehe
