You can wear uniforms with really ugly color combinations to work, so you don’t have to agonize over what to wear first thing in the morning XD

1. Nutritionists don’t receive overtime pay; they’re on a responsibility-based system. Once you come to terms with that and resign yourself to working under it, you discover that the company supervisors selectively allow certain employees—such as a supervisor’s best friend—to claim overtime pay.

2. To save costs, food safety is ignored. Food that hasn’t been fully served is pushed into the refrigerator or freezer, then reheated and served to students the next time. The regular offerings include overnight rice and various types of meat patties. If you’re lucky, you might even get chicken-and-pork rolls that have been reheated so many times they’ve melted, or expired steamed buns. It’s not just the students—even the employees get to enjoy them ><

The above is actually the lucky scenario!! At least there’s still something to eat~

During the low season in summer and winter vacations, when there are fewer meals, employees returning from assigned sites to work at the main factory have no lunch, because the number of meal orders is too low for employee meals to be set aside. The boss keeps watch and won’t allow the cooks to prepare more. If you don’t get an employee meal, you’re still charged for it, so you can only bring your own lunch or eat instant noodles. It seems the boss is always right when saying, “Employees are the company’s greatest blessing.”~

3. Supervisors are busy having extramarital affairs, and relationships between men and women within the company are complicated.

Whether married or single, when two hungry souls collide, anything can happen~ May-December pairings, cross-border romances (Taiwanese and Vietnamese), domineering CEOs... The themes are diverse and innovative.

At first, I thought I was applying to a catering company. I never expected it to be the production crew for a prime-time Taiwanese soap opera!!!

It’s nice to have a show to watch alongside work, but if you stay too long, your views on relationships and values may collapse...

4. Employee turnover is high, handovers are unclear, internal rules change constantly, salary calculations are complicated and bizarre, HR often calculates salaries incorrectly, and payments are delayed. When holidays come around, things are often dragged out again and again. The scheduled payday is the 10th, but you should be prepared not to receive your money until after the 15th; don’t be too surprised if it’s delayed until the 20th.

5. Supervisors often fail to keep their promises and are highly capable of saying things with a straight face that obviously aren’t true. The boss is no better. From top to bottom, from the boss to the supervisors, everyone has a certain talent for talking nonsense.

6. You have to recognize that every position is replaceable. Your value depends on how obedient you are. The company wants obedient employees, not employees who are smart and capable of getting things done.

7. You may need to provide on-site support, or even work as a temp at friendly companies: spend a day serving meals, a day packing vegetables at Xihu, a day cutting fruit, or a day doing packaging work. It feels just like the “A Day in the Life” series from Muyao 4 Super XD

Friendly reminder: Because this is a responsibility-based system, once the “A Day” assignment ends, you still have to obediently return to your regular post and work overtime to finish your duties~

8. If you saw the company’s decent starting salary and thought you could happily do the work and get paid, please think twice (wishful thinking!!)

If you want to test your moral limits while experiencing the “A Day” series, you could consider it~

9. When I first joined the company, the boss barely managed anything and was rarely at the office, so at first I genuinely didn’t know who the boss was.

Later, when the boss started taking charge, the tragedy began...

The boss doesn’t really know what the employees under them are doing. They occasionally go to the worksite and lecture anyone they dislike. They don’t respect professional expertise, don’t listen to different opinions, and only listen to what they want to hear. They like to save money on underwear (cutting employee benefits and underreporting labor and health insurance contributions) in order to buy suits, and package unreasonable decisions as being “for the employees’ benefit.”

10. The year-end bonus is pitifully small, and there is no consistent standard for issuing it (although there is a year-end performance evaluation, it’s completely useless—it’s just for show ==)

A supervisor gave a chef who was also their extramarital lover a year-end bonus of NT$3,000 for two years of seniority.

An accountant with six years of seniority who was disobedient and unwilling to provide on-site support received a year-end bonus of NT$2,000.

A nutritionist with two and a half years of seniority who was disobedient and unwilling to provide on-site support received no year-end bonus (those scoring under 60 points receive no bonus).

A purchasing employee with two and a half years of seniority who was disobedient and unwilling to provide on-site support received a year-end bonus of NT$2,000.

That’s all. The boss often says, “Employees are the company’s greatest blessing.” They really aren’t wrong~
