1. If a store’s performance is poor, the company cuts the salaries of full-time store employees, asking whether they want to resign or accept the pay cut. This is essentially a disguised, unilateral pay reduction that makes employees feel extremely insecure about working for this company.
2. Any minor issue can result in a written disciplinary notice (five or more notices lead to a deduction of approximately 20% of the bonus).
3. There are a lot of surveillance cameras, and employees are watched all day to see whether they are slacking off. Once, while I was eating in the break room and watching a video on my phone, a coworker called me and said the boss told me not to watch videos. -_-? At that moment, I was completely stunned and speechless. (Isn’t there supposed to be one hour of break time per day? You might as well tell employees to stand while eating.)
4. Being 18 minutes late results in a NT$1,500 deduction (because being 10–20 minutes late lowers you to Grade B, resulting in a 30% deduction from your bonus).
5. Time off is prohibited on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and personal leave must be requested one month in advance.
6. When laying off employees, the company tells them to go home that same day, without any notice or providing them with time to find another job—absolutely nothing! All I can say is that this is a very low-class way to handle things.
7. Store transfers are not discussed with you. What they say goes; if you don’t like it, resign.
8. Employees are expected to be professional, but no training is arranged, and no vendors are invited to provide courses.
