Freedom

No three traditional holiday bonuses, employee trips, overtime pay, or birthday gifts.

Year-end performance reviews are based on whether you worked overtime; in the worst cases, they will tell you to leave before the New Year.

Work ends at 6:00 p.m., but you may be notified at 5:30 p.m. about a meeting at 6:30 p.m. that runs until 8:00 p.m., with no overtime pay or compensatory time off.

There is no business-trip allowance for trips to mainland China. Workdays run from Monday to Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. On Sundays, you visit companies, still without overtime pay or compensatory time off.

The boss smokes during meetings.

Money from the employee welfare committee is used to hold barbecues, year-end parties, and spring banquets to reward the boss’s own relatives and friends.

Taking leave is made difficult.

Employees are required to work on typhoon days off.

During power outages, employees are required to remain on standby at the company for two hours, which does not count as working time; the hours must be made up after 6:00 p.m.

When flexible working hours fall on a Saturday, employees are mandatorily charged annual leave; those without annual leave have their pay deducted.

Employees must make their own way to the high-speed rail station for business trips.
