1. Headquarters reward and disciplinary system—the commendation provides employees with NT$200.
2. Every Monday and Thursday, frontline employees below department-manager level clean the entire fourth-floor office area by assigned zones, cultivating employees’ habit of manual labor.
3. An old, half-finished ERP system: the waiting time for entering orders, opening new files, and saving files occurs at least several times a day, requiring waits of 30 seconds to 1 minute each time—suitable for cultivating employees’ patience.
4. The CEO often promotes that when he works as an external lecturer, he charges money, while sharing life lessons and work goals with internal employees is free of charge; he hopes employees will keep this gratitude in their hearts.
5. The employee price for company products is actually the same as the store’s member price—everyone is treated equally, with no special discount whatsoever.
6. An opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of a family business, including the internal power struggles among sibling shareholders.
7. The CEO’s way of treating employees to shaved ice is to buy several bowls of frozen desserts, pour them all into a soup pot, and then ask employees to serve themselves using mugs.
8. Headquarters changes its orders and procedures from morning to evening (forms and workflows), testing frontline employees’ ability to adapt when facing their superiors.

1. On their first day, employees must sign a probation waiver (stating that during the first month, the company may require employees to resign according to business needs, and employees may not make any demands), along with a note stating that leaving voluntarily without written resignation approval means the employee automatically forfeits that month’s salary.
2. The company does not issue offer letters, so the agreed salary is adjusted downward to some extent on the employee’s reporting date. It is presented as a one-month probationary period, but after that month, employees are verbally informed that it has become a three-month probationary period.
3. On statutory holidays, headquarters employees support store activities without overtime pay, compensatory leave, or transportation reimbursement.
4. When employees’ salaries are adjusted, the increase is at least NT$200.
5. The headquarters’ clock-in system mini-program often breaks, resulting in manual sign-ins.
6. The headquarters’ ERP system is like a vehicle assembled from miscellaneous parts; modifying data can even overwrite correct information.
7. It is unbearably hot early in the morning in summer, yet the company’s air conditioning still is not turned on until after 8:30 a.m., as usual.
8. The CEO has a strong subjective bias. Sometimes, when employees do more, he criticizes them for being meddlesome; at other times, when employees do less, he changes his tune and says they are not proactive enough.
