Workplace reviews and discussion: 廣源良股份有限公司

The office environment is fairly clean. You have your own desk and chair, and there is air conditioning plus an electric fan; otherwise, it would not be cool enough.

It is a very large company with a very old brand. The chairman really likes telling old stories and giving lectures, believing himself to be highly knowledgeable. Meetings start early at 8:30 a.m. every Monday and Tuesday and usually continue until nearly noon, around 12:00. The discussions are invariably about his brand philosophy, his loofah water, and how excellent his charitable activities are. Employees are also required to take oral exams on “What is the Key to Three-Dot Water?”—Huni water, spring water, and loofah water—and the lectures never seem to end. There are also tests on satisfactory communication, including how to explain words containing the three-dot water radical. He also frequently flies into a rage. I did not work here for very long, but every day I had to endure the chairman’s training on how to describe the origins of the three-dot water radical. The benefits are very poor—in fact, it would be more accurate to say there are no benefits at all. There is one boxed lunch available at noon; everything else has to be reported, including going to the restroom. It is a very strange company culture. There are no middle managers; everything is decided by the chairman. Whenever he thinks of something he wants done, he makes new demands, and the procedures are constantly changing. Anyone considering working here really needs to be able to put up with the chairman’s strange temper and a company that has no systems and is stuck in old traditions.
