Workplace reviews and discussion: 宜樂國際有限公司

The company is conveniently located and close to an MRT station.

Working hours are punctual, with a half-hour flexible start and end time.

Capsule coffee is available at work, although it doesn’t taste very good.

I noticed as soon as I joined the company that its turnover was very high.

Also, there was a strong sense that colleagues who were about to leave and needed to hand over their work were simply being replaced one after another.

Most people did not stay for even half a year.

Everyone had to take turns being the person on duty, cleaning the toilets and taking out the trash.

The building where the company is located is rather old, and the elevator is small and shakes a lot.

Whenever a new employee joined,

the bosses would try to create the illusion that the office atmosphere was very good,

constantly ordering drinks and meals.

The boss said that the company’s employee benefits were that the company provided toilet paper and coffee.

New employee training was incomplete, and everyone was essentially trained by other new employees.

To put it nicely, the company said it wanted everyone to learn while doing the work.

In reality, there were hardly any SOPs or established procedures.

Even after this was brought up, there was no noticeable practical change.

On the surface, they said there was plenty of room for initiative, but no matter what decision you made, you still had to go through the boss.

If the boss did not make a decision, things would remain stuck indefinitely, and we would then be scolded by clients.

Working hours were fairly punctual, but this was actually because there was no overtime pay, so everyone left on time.

You also could not choose which day to use compensatory leave for overtime.

The boss directly said to use it on government-designated make-up workdays so that everyone would not have to come to work.

The overtime requirements under the Labor Standards Act regarding the applicable multipliers were not followed either.

Before the Lunar New Year, everyone was asked to write about their colleagues’ work performance.

The office surveillance cameras had audio recording, and the boss would watch the footage. Anyone who complained about the company would be called in for a meeting.

You should not expect much from the holiday bonuses.

Some people received only a few thousand in year-end bonuses.

Colleagues who had worked for more than a year received only a little over 10,000.

The bosses seemed to enjoy interviewing new people and then openly or subtly pressuring everyone to resign.

To summarize:

The bosses liked hiring fresh graduates because they were inexperienced, but did not like training them, believing they should already know everything.

If you have a better opportunity, do not choose this place.

There is very little you can learn here.
