1. The process of signing the offer for conversion from an intern to a full-time employee kept changing

(1) Late June: The internship was nearing its end, but my supervisor did not say whether I could become a full-time employee.

(2) Early July: I told my supervisor that I had received an offer for another job. A few days later, they suddenly said verbally that I could become a full-time employee, with eight-hour workdays and a monthly salary 3,000 lower than the other offer. Because I understood that running a small company was difficult, I agreed out of my affection for the platform.

(3) Late July: When the offer was formally signed, the workday became nine hours, the salary was reduced by another 1,500, and a new three-month probationary period was added. The start date was set for September 1.

2. Doing full-time work while being paid as a part-time student worker

Before officially starting work, I continued to be paid hourly as I had been during my internship in July and August. At my supervisor's request to reduce labor costs, I was also required to come to the office only two days a week.

While I still had to perform my internship duties, because I had already signed the offer, my supervisor assigned me a full-time employee's workload. The tasks, responsibilities, and working hours became unclear, with pay and duties based on a responsibility system.

4. At my supervisor's suggestion (possibly also due to labor cost considerations), I took leave to travel in late August. I had reported in advance that I would be traveling to mainland China and would be unable to stay in immediate contact because of internet access issues. After receiving approval, I went on the trip. During the trip, however, my supervisor criticized me for having a passive attitude toward handling work because my messages had not received immediate replies.

5. I was notified by email during the trip that I needed to sign the offer again

As mentioned above, I had informed my supervisor in advance that I might be unable to use Plurk and Gmail while traveling in China. However, two days after I left, I was asked to contact them via private Plurk message.

On the third day, my supervisor notified me by email that, due to the company's financial difficulties, I needed to sign a new offer with a further salary reduction. By that point, the monthly salary had been reduced by approximately 20% from the amount promised in the original verbal offer. They asked me to respond as soon as possible regarding whether I would accept the new offer.

6. Because I did not respond immediately, I was notified by email five days before my start date that the offer had been canceled.

7. They said 技技 hated me

My supervisor said that the team's senior 技技 had also participated in the decision to fire me. As a result, I only thanked him the day before yesterday for the wedding cookies I had received from him two years ago.
