Although it is a sunset industry, the basic benefits are still provided. In addition, there are many opportunities for online learning and meetings with overseas colleagues, which also gives you a chance to practice your English.

Most of the colleagues are older employees, and the turnover rate among younger employees is extremely high. One week after I joined, our section manager required me to memorize all the hiring terminology (more than 300 terms). I later discovered that she did not know most of the terminology herself; she simply wanted to make things difficult for me.

The manager may not necessarily teach you anything. For example, our section manager just gave me some Excel files and materials provided by vendors and told me to study them on my own. Some formulas in them were incorrect, some information was missing, and some data had to be researched online. After I asked questions twice, she immediately humiliated me, then continued telling me to study on my own, followed by more humiliation—an endless cycle.

When a manager above you does not like you, her colleagues and colleagues from other departments will also dislike you (after all, they have worked together for more than a decade). I gradually came to understand why the turnover rate among new employees was so high.

The department manager clearly knew that some of the senior employees under her had problems, but still pretended not to notice. When I resigned, the department manager gave me an additional week of paid leave as compensation.

In addition, the company is often reported by its employees for violating the Labor Standards Act and has been fined several million dollars. If similar situations occur in the future, those fines may be deducted from the year-end bonuses or other bonuses of all employees. So... evaluate things carefully before joining.
