I came to this company in October 2017. The junior boss who interviewed me was around 30 and worked near the Taipei World Trade Center in Xinyi District. My colleagues were also very young, and I could often chat with everyone while working. At the time, there was also an e-commerce business, so I could do what I liked every day. It was actually quite interesting.

After seven months, the e-commerce business was not doing well, so the junior boss handed full management authority to his older brother. To save costs, the company moved to Zhonghe. The office was very large, but the senior boss had no time to manage the Taiwan company and had his special assistant handle it instead. The assistant was extremely difficult to communicate with. His name was Chen Hong-Wei. He was rigid in the way he did things and insisted on his own opinions. I had only been there for half a year, yet five colleagues had already resigned, and he was inextricably linked to their departures. After I left, three more people resigned separately, which shows how poor the assistant’s management was—he drove everyone away.

One day, we had different opinions about something at work, and he used harsh words to tell me to leave. I originally planned to endure it for a year before leaving, but I was earning only 26,000 in salary and still had to put up with this kind of mistreatment. The e-commerce business was also about to shut down, the company’s credit was poor, and the finance and accounting staff still had to find ways to obtain financing and loans. It was really tough…

In the end, even after I resigned, they continued to make things difficult for me and tried to cut my annual leave. A few months later, I moved to the technology industry. Thank God—I’m glad I wasn’t foolish enough to stay for a whole year.

Fresh graduates who want to build up their experience can stay for a few months and then leave. I’m telling you this sincerely.

A year later, I feel that my choice was absolutely right, so I’m sharing this with everyone. You really can compare whether companies and jobs are good or bad by staying longer and changing jobs more.
