Workplace reviews and discussion: 噗浪股份有限公司

Speaking only for myself, there was an annual salary increase. Working hours were initially fairly flexible, and the atmosphere was also relaxed. At first, everyone could offer opinions and discuss matters.

1. Later on, the head of personnel left Taiwan and managed HR remotely. After other members raised concerns about the capabilities of a new employee, the supervisor secretly speculated that those members were bullying the new employee behind their back, and arbitrarily accused them together with the boss without verifying the facts. The supervisor refused to communicate with employees and was unwilling to address the issue.

2. Because the contract terms were handled casually at the beginning, benefits such as the three-festival bonuses were later deducted under pretexts such as “everyone must weather the difficult times together.”

3. The company claimed that working hours were flexible, but the supervisor then set working hours for certain employees according to personal preferences, resulting in unclear company rules.

4. There was no overtime pay; it was a responsibility-based system, and working hours were not fixed.

5. The supervisor did not understand certain professional matters related to employees’ duties and did not trust them. If something did not go well, the supervisor blamed the employees for lacking ability.

6. Because responsibilities and authority were unclear, regardless of the position held, it was best to be prepared to do everything. However, it was also possible to end up accomplishing none of the main tasks, because the supervisor was the person least willing to do any work.

7. The company was understaffed, so new hires had to figure things out on their own. There was not even a handover of responsibilities, let alone anyone to provide guidance or training.
