Workplace reviews and discussion: 醫博科技股份有限公司

． You can be 15 minutes late within a month.

． Get in early while you can; when the company expands in the future, you could become a department manager :) If you’re young and want to take a gamble, come join us.

． The starting salary for a master’s degree from a private university is 32,000. A manager let slip that the company has many employees with master’s and doctoral degrees, yet their salaries are all under 34,000.

． There is no overtime pay; you can only exchange it for compensatory leave. Working late is the norm, and leaving on time too often may get you labeled negatively.

． Leave must be requested seven days in advance; managers must apply ten days in advance.

． The company often talks about expansion, and its vision and planning leave nothing out. In reality, however, nothing changes. The product has not even been fully developed, yet they are already planning how much money they can make over the next few years, with projected annual revenue growing twofold or threefold every year.

． The longstanding problem with family businesses: the boss has two younger sisters who are both company managers. If you offend them, you will never have peace.

． The boss likes to put on airs and has decreed that employees may not use phrases such as “I agree,” “I concur,” “okay,” “that works,” “I feel,” or “I think.”

The boss’s famous quotes:

“​​It feels like there’s no sense of urgency in the company right now. Everyone leaves at 6 or 7 p.m. If the work isn’t finished, stay and work until 1 or 2 a.m.”

“If you only do things that a monkey could do, how am I supposed to give you a raise?”

“You’re working alongside the boss and eating bitter roots now. When the company develops, makes money, and expands in the future, do you think the boss will think of you first, or go outside to find someone else?”

(To managers, during a reprimand) “What exactly do you say he has done well? From what I hear, all of those things are work he was supposed to do anyway. Isn’t doing the work you’re supposed to do the bare minimum? Why should I give him a raise for that?”

#I heard the company name might be changed in the future—assuming the company still exists.

#The most beautiful thing is having a dream; may hope always accompany you.
