Workplace reviews and discussion: 中美銘版有限公司

Coworkers are easy to get along with. However, we usually only talk when there is something to discuss. Everyone quietly does their own work.

Very little overtime.

The work is monotonous, and there are many miscellaneous tasks.

NT$70 is deducted for lunch, but the lunch boxes are almost always worth only around NT$50–60. Occasionally, there is a lunch box that looks worth NT$70.

The machines used for work are extremely noisy. You can still hear them even when wearing earplugs.

Because the UV ink in the printing machines cannot be exposed to low temperatures, the air conditioning cannot be turned on. It is very hot, with the room temperature averaging above 30°C.

The boss is extremely fussy. He loses his temper and scolds people before understanding the situation, and speaks sarcastically and derisively.

He has severe cleanliness issues and cares about unnecessary details (for example, the lights must be turned on when sweeping; if the lights are off, he thinks the work is being done carelessly. The lights must be turned off immediately after sweeping, otherwise he thinks electricity is being wasted... trivial matters like these).

Cleaning work is done first thing in the morning and again at the end of the workday... If you do it too quickly, he thinks you are doing it carelessly.

When doing computer typesetting, you also have to take care of the printing machines. The printing quality is required to be good, and there cannot be even a single error in the typesetting.

However, the machines are old and have many problems. The colors often shift during printing, requiring the ink to be washed out or the print heads to be wiped... The print heads are difficult to clean, so you have to wash them several times, after which he loses his temper and scolds you for wasting ink.

The printing position often shifts. If something is printed in the wrong position and he notices it, he loses his temper and scolds you.

The typesetting is required to be completely accurate with no typos. He says that one or two misprinted sheets are acceptable, but in reality, he loses his temper and scolds you every time something is printed incorrectly.

The company is a family business. Of the six employees, including the boss, two are the boss's relatives.

You are not allowed to use your phone at work, but those people can use their phones and browse the web.

Even when you do things exactly the way the boss instructed, he may one day decide he does not like it and lose his temper and scold you.

Anything the boss does not like can be an excuse for him to lose his temper and scold people. He is difficult to deal with.
