Workplace reviews and discussion: 御典共好股份有限公司

The boxed lunch was pretty good.

This is outrageous—is it really acceptable to deceive people like this?

I once applied for a funeral services assistant position.

During the first interview, which lasted less than ten minutes, the interviewer asked when I could start.

After I answered, “Anytime,” they told me, “Then come to the company at ten tomorrow.”

They also explained that I would first undergo three days of “pre-employment training.”

I took being told to “come tomorrow” and being asked to attend “pre-employment training” as signs that the company had decided to hire me.

However, the content of the three-day course had almost nothing to do with being a funeral services assistant. It consisted entirely of courses on “pre-need contracts” and “sales skills.”

During the course, I was repeatedly encouraged and asked whether I planned to purchase a contract.

Only then was I suddenly told that there would also be a second interview. After a perfunctory second interview, I went home to await notification.

The next day, I received a phone call telling me that my height did not meet their requirements and that I had not been hired.

I believe they could have determined during my first interview whether my height met their requirements, so there was no need to waste my time.

They should also have clearly stated during the first interview that there would be a second interview. Moreover, they should not have repeatedly pressured me about whether I wanted to purchase a pre-need contract.

The second interview was so perfunctory that they did not even try to hide it: they simply asked, “How tall are you?” and ended the interview.

They even shamelessly criticized the performance of each interviewee for not being what a salesperson should be like.

I was not applying for a sales position in the first place—who was the one that had no idea what was going on?

Even after I reported them to the Ministry of Labor, they shamelessly changed the company name and continued deceiving applicants in this way,

attempting to boost their pre-need contract sales through these tactics.

Based on what I observed during those three days, everyone at the funeral services company, from top to bottom, should have known about this. They were no different from a scam operation.

The statements above are based on my real experience and contain absolutely no falsehoods. I am willing to take full responsibility for them.
