Workplace reviews and discussion: 錐光金屬股份有限公司

The employees are all decent people and do not play political games. However, due to poor management by upper management, bad money drives out good, and at present a large proportion of the people who remain at the company are the “bad money.”

The company’s shortcomings lie with its “people.” Friends considering joining should note the following and ask themselves whether they can accept them:

1. Chief Operating Officer: Skilled at infighting and deceiving employees. The most criticized behavior is parachuting his own people into management positions and showing blatant favoritism toward them.

2. Sales Manager: The boss’s son. He is not bad by nature, but has poor emotional control and often loses his temper with employees and takes his frustrations out on them. His supervisor, the COO, has failed to properly mentor and manage him, resulting in the sales department being like a scattered heap of sand. The employees under him lack independent judgment and have to consult the production or R&D departments about everything.

3. R&D Manager: One of the parachuted-in managers. Lacks technical ability, talks about theory without being able to put it into practice, and does not know how to do so. Although his title is manager, he has never taken on any management responsibilities.

4. Deputy Production Manager: One of the parachuted-in managers. When unable to solve a problem, he passes it on to someone else. He only follows orders from above—in name and in reality, a mere mouthpiece.

5. The company has no salary adjustment system, so any salary increases or subsidies mentioned during interviews are untrue. In addition, the company provides no onboarding or new-employee training. After joining, you must get up to speed as quickly as possible on your own because no one will train you.

6. Company policies often change from day to day. Unless you are the type of person who is inclined to change jobs at the first sign of something different, joining is not recommended.
