Workplace reviews and discussion: 新世紀光裕文化事業有限公司

Training EQ can genuinely improve it, and quite significantly.

Colleagues also help one another because they go through hardships together.

About the company:

This is a company established by a religious organization. Although they repeatedly claim that they are not a religion of any kind, the fact is that they are a religion. Of course, there is no overtime pay for working overtime. You are expected to properly perform the merits you are supposed to do, and even when you are on leave, you are not allowed to refuse calls from your supervisors or boss. The salary is also very low, but they will say that they are already paying a very high salary—higher than the industry average, apparently.

About the boss:

The boss is the so-called “god”; he makes all the decisions and absolutely does not allow any dissenting voices. His sense of aesthetics is very unusual, and he is extremely disrespectful of professional expertise. He often talks about “professionalism” and presumes to understand everything while correcting people in their professional fields. Meetings have no focus; instead, he likes to team up with supervisors to give employees a hard time. On the surface, they always say it is for your own good, but in reality, they simply try to squeeze you dry before discarding you.

About the supervisors:

They are all members of the religion. The more loyal you are, the higher your position will be. Knowing how to curry favor and flatter people gives you a chance of promotion. They also secretly go through employees’ computer records. If an employee submits a resignation, they will do everything they can to make things difficult and take advantage of them. They use threats against people who do not understand the Labor Standards Act or related laws.

Other:

The turnover rate at this company is as high as 99%—can you believe it? That is the reality. Some people are gone after just one day; for others, it takes a few weeks or months. On average, someone resigns every month. An annual bonus? Forget about it—how could there possibly be one? Even the year-end party is handled perfunctorily. To request annual leave, you have to submit the request 14 days in advance. In short, they completely disregard the Labor Standards Act. Religious organizations have their own way of doing things, you know?

If you still dare to join after reading this, all I can say is that you are truly brave. Experiencing a hellish workplace might be worthwhile!
