Workplace reviews and discussion: GARMIN_台灣國際航電股份有限公司

1. Meal subsidy of 70 per meal

2. The environment is fairly clean

3. The shuttle service is also pretty good, but if you miss the shuttle, you're screwed

1. They only pay us an operator's salary, yet expect us to do things beyond an "operator's" duties.

2. The company only listens to office employees' opinions. Aren't operators people too?

3. The benefits the company provides to foreign employees are better than those for Taiwanese employees.

4. There are more unfriendly people than friendly ones throughout the entire company.

5. The break times are extremely rushed: 10 minutes each in the morning and afternoon, 40 minutes for lunch, and 30 minutes for dinner. There are always long lines when buying meals, and for those who smoke, the only smoking areas are by the back-door loading dock and on the 7th floor, so there's simply not enough time.

New hires who have normal logic and social skills at work tend to be quite humble and willing to learn, but some veteran employees who have been there for several years are very unwilling to teach. All they do is throw out a "go read the SOP." I know that reading the SOP before doing any task is the most basic thing, but frankly, did these veterans understand everything perfectly as soon as they joined? Some of the older women have extremely poor attitudes and even say that anyone who comes to work as an operator must have failed to study properly in the past. There is no distinction between noble and humble occupations—do they look down on themselves for being operators too? Everyone has a transitional period in their career, and everyone makes different choices. Do they really have to make sarcastic remarks? Then they fawn over the younger male specialists like crazy. Listening to them tease and flirt over there makes me want to puke. And they even dare to call themselves "older sisters"—given your age, you could easily be their aunt or even grandmother, okay? When a more capable new hire catches the attention of a group leader or supervisor, they become jealous, deliberately ignore them, and intentionally withhold information about things they could easily point out. You're already that old—aren't you being childish? Teaching new hires properly would also help reduce your workload, wouldn't it?

I have nothing against GARMIN's products; what I can't stand is the people, work, and management at the company. They use the name of an American company while practicing very Taiwanese-style management. No wonder no young people are willing to stay, capable employees never remain for long, and they're hiring all year round.
