Workplace reviews and discussion: 王文楷建築師事務所

1. It’s quite satisfying to watch the boss chew out an employee who can’t get away, yet thinks they’re very important in the boss’s eyes (when in fact they’re a screw that can be discarded at any time). (Excluding the boss’s family, there’s probably only one employee left in the entire company.)

2. I learned from my days at a black-hearted company.act.

1. Low pay—really low pay. During the so-called probationary period, the salary is only the minimum wage of 23,800. Regardless of the position you apply for, you’re expected to know how to write academic papers and proposals, and you might even need to know how to litigate and start a company.

2. The architecture firm is run-down, old, dark, and damp; the working environment is unbelievably poor. (The materials seem to date from its heyday and have been preserved until now in worse condition than those at a secondhand bookstall. In addition, everything is recorded on video and audio the entire time, and the materials are inspected at any moment—presumably because they’re afraid of being reported for too many illegal activities.)

3. The boss is very good at boasting. I think some of his ideas are pretty good, but given the salary he offers, I imagine only someone out of their mind or someone coming purely for the experience would work on his projects—for example, using the abilities of an editor-in-chief to edit a professional book of proposals; setting up a professional foundation without knowing what it’s supposed to do; and establishing various types of multifunctional institutions. All I can say is: You’re thinking too big.

4. In addition to a résumé, the interview requires you to write an “assignment.” Simply put, they want you to get “used to” overtime being the norm, not complain about low pay, not be surprised by plagiarism, and not be bothered by violations of the law. Do you have experience as a servant? Then this is the place for you.

5. In addition, there are many so-called “wrongful cases.” After checking the judicial judgment system and related litigation cases, all I can say is that judges really aren’t uneducated. The evidence and information written in the cases are very clear; everyone can look at them and make up their own minds.

6. All I can say is that the fact this company still exists is truly a miracle. Don’t think you’re going in to find a job—you’re going in to be put through the wringer. Want to become a real “employee”? Choosing this company is definitely your top choice.
