Workplace reviews and discussion: X射線精緻禮品_佳宥有限公司

Colleagues get along peacefully, and since there is no managerial hierarchy, everyone has a good relationship.

First, starting with my interview experience: On the day of the interview, I arrived early, and the owner asked me to look around the store first.

After about half an hour, the owner was finally able to conduct the interview. She first gave me a personality test to complete, then disappeared again for 15 minutes. I had finished the test, so I waited for about five minutes in the owner’s small office cubicle.

At the end of the interview, she asked me to add her on LINE and said she would notify me by message if I was hired. I thought, “So that means I got the job, right?”

While waiting, I also attended other interviews and submitted résumés, but nothing came of them.

After two weeks, the owner sent me a message: “I forgot to ask you to come to work. Can you come in on X month X day?”

Since I didn’t want to be unemployed for too long, I agreed to start working there…

I have regretted that decision ever since.

Back to sharing my work experience:

1. Responsibility-based work system:

a. During the interview, I was told that it was not a responsibility-based system. In reality, no matter how much work there was, if it was not finished, I was not allowed to do it the next day.

b. If a customer suddenly cancels an order, you are responsible for selling the ordered goods. If you do not sell them, your performance evaluation will be deducted, and it will affect the owner’s attitude toward you.

c. If a product is sold at the wrong price, you have to pay for it yourself.

Is this not a responsibility-based system? Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of “responsibility”?

2. Overtime pay: The owner does not like employees working overtime, but she also does not like employees leaving on time!

Regardless of how long you work overtime, you are only given a flat NT$2,000 overtime payment, and the owner will tell everyone that you are “deliberately” trying to earn overtime pay!

3. Performance bonuses: The bonus percentages are not transparent. When salaries are paid, the breakdown does not include team-collaboration bonuses or performance bonuses; it only lists the base salary plus overtime pay. Basically, the owner gives them out based on her mood.

４. Fines for violating the Labor Standards Act:

a. NT$500 fine for not turning off the air conditioning.

b. NT$100 fine for being late, plus an additional fine of several hundred dollars based on the number of minutes late, as well as a deduction from your salary. For example, being five minutes late results in a NT$600 fine, and your salary is deducted proportionally.

c. NT$100 fine for not clocking in or out.

５. You cannot offer opinions or share ideas:

Unless the owner likes you, you cannot share your own thoughts or opinions, nor can you ask questions.

“The owner will tell you to shut up, stop making noise, or go away.” In addition to verbal bullying, she will also get physical.

Everyone at the company has had their hair pulled, been hit on the head, or had their hands slapped by the owner.

“There was an employee who once asked her not to get physical, but she said, ‘I’m deliberately hitting you!’”

“There was an employee who once asked a question, but she said, ‘You think you’re so smart!’”

６. Endless meaningless meetings:

a. Meetings always consist of listening to the owner repeat the same things: Even when everyone’s time is already extremely tight, she still makes everyone put down whatever they are doing and listen to her say the same things.

b. The data has no practical application: During meetings, everyone is asked to read out their work data, but it has no practical application—for example, identifying which areas need improvement or what contingency measures should be taken during the next busy season. Although the meeting often discusses how to handle something that month, when the same situation occurs again, nothing changes. It is an endless cycle～

If you can accept all of the above, it should be a good job for you～

I’m sharing the experience above for everyone’s reference～
