Workplace reviews and discussion: 和英文化事業有限公司

I worked at this company for four years. During my tenure, Designer Y had been there for more than seven years, Designer G had been there for four years (she joined the company at the same time as I did), my predecessor had worked at the company for nearly nine years, and Designer W had been there for more than three years before leaving after getting married and moving to New Taipei City. A year after she left, when she had a baby, the entire company signed a card and gave her an exquisite gift to congratulate her (paid for by the boss :)

I think this company must have something valuable about it to be able to attract people to stay for so long.

Since I usually have to pick up my child at six, I always leave work at almost exactly six. During my four years there, I almost never worked overtime. The only exception was on May 9, 2017, when I worked a few extra hours because an international literary master was giving a lecture on May 10. The lecture venue had just been renovated, and many areas needed to be arranged. I remember that after the master’s lecture on May 10, each of us received a large red envelope from the boss that day, worth more than ten times the regular overtime pay.

Whenever we held an event and heard audience members share their appreciation and praise for the company’s wonderful, idealistic books, I felt proud. This was one of the reasons I stayed for four years, because I really wanted to work with everyone on something meaningful and idealistic.

Too challenging
