Workplace reviews and discussion: 邁其利德股份有限公司

*There is a bidet toilet

*The environment is fairly clean

*There is a kitchen available for use; you can cook anything

*The refrigerator can be used, but the owner will check it at any time and post photos of the food on the general bulletin board, asking who put what in the refrigerator

The lunch break is 1.5 hours; everyone eats and then goes to sleep. Great!

*The employees are all champions at bragging contests. The more impressive their claimed experience, the more the boss pays them (and she never verifies it either—those who can brag can become executive assistants or managers immediately, while those who cannot brag can only rely on their abilities and get promoted step by step)

*A happy company; there is no need to hurry to place orders when items are out of stock (employee motto: “No stock means no stock”)

*You have to wait until the boss finishes work before you can leave (otherwise you are considered an uncooperative colleague), but usually everyone will be gone by 6:20

*As quiet as being in prison

*There is no employee welfare committee, yet a monthly welfare fee is deducted from employees’ pay.

A former employee has already filed a complaint with the Labor Bureau and subsequently recovered the welfare fees deducted over the previous year (former employees, remember to bring your pay slips to assert your rights)

*The fire extinguishers are expired, but the finance, administration, and HR manager replied: “The boss says they can still be used.”

*You will often see the boss sitting behind the glass-walled office, staring at everyone while doing nothing

*There is absolutely no system; your life depends on the boss’s mood

*There used to be Taiwan-made products, but after a spouse from mainland China joined the company and found beautiful low-cost products from the motherland, product quality complaints increased, and the Taiwanese factory that had cooperated with the company for many years immediately had its orders canceled… sigh
