Workplace reviews and discussion: 巧舜企業有限公司

The company develops pastries from time to time. Members of this family-owned business claimed that employees were welcome to take them freely.

After doing so, I was questioned and accused of being a thief.

Meanwhile, employees who were not members of this family-owned business but had particularly good relationships with the company took away more than five times as much each time, yet were never subjected to such accusations.

[Interview process]

Company environment:

Family-owned business

The first floor is a storage area.

The office is on the second floor.

After joining the company, employees were required not to take the elevator unless there were at least three people; otherwise, they had to use the stairs.

About the interviewer:

The interviewer was quite polite.

The interviewer repeatedly left the interview, interrupting it.

The interviewer had not reviewed the résumé provided beforehand.

I brought a laptop to share my work, but the interviewer only looked at it twice.

There were not many questions throughout the interview, and it did not last long.

It took about ten minutes in total.

I later learned that the interviewer was an accountant,

a member of the family-owned business, and unfamiliar with the work of a graphic designer.

[About what happened after joining this company]

Conclusion: If you are strongly looking for a challenge, you may give it a try.

If you want to fully enjoy your statutory labor rights at this company, think twice.

I believe that reading this far should make my feelings about this company clear. I do not shy away from discussing what actually happened.

Job duties: social media content and graphic design, promotional materials for monthly events, printing, photography, curation, exhibition-space planning, and production of company promotional materials.

Working conditions:

Graphic design duties had to be discussed directly with the boss.

The boss’s instructions were vague, making it difficult to clarify the requirements. If I tried to ask for details, I was told that it was my area of expertise.

Simply put, the job was close to: “You have to see how the boss is feeling and read their mind.”

Incident: Menstrual leave was not approved.

The boss’s wife claimed that she had worked at this company for more than ten years and that no female employee had ever taken menstrual leave, then angrily berated me. Afterward, the attitudes of the boss’s family members toward me worsened.

I worked there for a total of six months.

As the date marking six months approached, the compression of work schedules became increasingly severe.

While being forced to take on various projects, I initially thought that I lacked the ability to handle them. Later, I discovered that the folders containing files from nearly all of the previous graphic designers had generally been created and last updated within less than six months.

Think twice.
