Workplace reviews and discussion: 全鎂實業股份有限公司

The company has quite a lot of snacks, so you can eat to your heart’s content? It’s suitable for people who like drinking and socializing, but other than that, it really has no advantages at all.

1) Do not believe what they tell you during the interview about providing good training for new hires—that kind of thing does not exist! Basically, they take you out to visit clients for about three weeks, then expect you to work independently and produce results. You are also required to visit at least three clients every day. (When you negotiate your salary with the boss during the interview, the boss will say that you definitely will not have any results when you first join and cut your salary on the spot, but after the three weeks are over, they expect you to produce results immediately??)

2) The company has five teams in total. Since I knew a little Japanese, I was fortunate enough to join the so-called Japan team. The supervisor was Japanese, and there were also two senior colleagues. One of them was the strongest organism on Earth (an old hag), who showed me what it meant to disrespect people from my very first day. Every other word was “newbie, newbie,” and she would tell me what I should do (from wiping the whiteboard to taking out the trash, she would order you to do all kinds of things). She also kept telling you how impressive she had been when she worked at a Japanese company?! Later, I learned from colleagues that she was just a customer-service employee who had been forced into early retirement; she was nowhere near as impressive as she claimed.

To give the simplest example, she could fail to read a supplier’s quotation carefully and tell you to respond to the client with incorrect information. When you told her the information was wrong, she would still insist, righteously, that she was right?! I told her four times before she realized that she had made a mistake. Throughout those four times, I kept explaining why she was wrong, but she simply refused to listen. It is truly outrageous that someone like this is responsible for training new hires.

3) This company requires everyone to submit a daily report. To make the boss think you are impressive and have done a lot, it is best to turn one sentence into three so that your daily report looks long and substantial.

4) Basically, during the interview, just take what the boss tells you about the plans and your future arrangements with a grain of salt. In practice, everything is decided by your supervisor. Even if you tell her that something cannot be done, she will only throw out, “Why can’t you do it?” and silence you.

5) The person in charge of the company has no sense of responsibility and only pushes problems onto subordinates.

6) They take credit for your results. Whenever there is a good result, the supervisor will say it should be put under their name.

7) The culture of drinking and business entertainment is extremely prevalent. If you really enjoy it, I recommend this place. If you do not, you should seriously think it over, because if you cannot participate in these social obligations here, leaving is only a matter of time.

There is really far too much to say....
