Workplace reviews and discussion: 福漢奈米醫藥科技有限公司

1. We would order drinks and lunch boxes together (this is probably the only thing that made me happy).

2. Overtime pay.

1. The leave policy was not mentioned during the interview. They only said it followed the Labor Standards Act. Then, when I wanted to take leave, they told me that, according to “company policy,” I could not take leave on Mondays or Fridays and could only take it during the middle of the week. The reason was that no one had a designated backup, so there was no one to handle your work while you were on leave.

2. The company takes pride in the fact that annual leave can be exchanged for wages.

3. Annual leave is calculated according to “company policy,” not the Labor Standards Act, so be careful (e.g., I had worked there for one year and was about to resign. I had unused annual leave, but when I left, “company policy” reduced it to only two days of annual leave).

4. The boss does not respect employees. On holidays, the boss would call and ask what your computer password was, and would also take the notebook from your desk to write in it. (Be careful! Make sure to put away your personal belongings!)

5. Every week, employees take turns being assigned as the person on duty. The boss’s wife uses the surveillance cameras to monitor whether you have cleaned properly and also directs you on how to clean. There is no set cleaning time; whenever she thinks something is dirty, she tells you to clean it.

6. They assign you work and tell you that it is not urgent and that you can do it when you have time, then shortly afterward ask whether you have finished handling it.

The above is based on my experience during the one year I worked there. I hope everyone can learn from it. Stay strong!
