Workplace reviews and discussion: 昊生實業股份有限公司

Short morning and evening shifts

I was hired in August. During the interview, my supervisor said that my internship would start in September. However, the schedule released at the end of August only gave me eight days of work. When I followed up, I was told that September would be based on hourly part-time work, and that I would not begin working a full month's regular schedule until October. (P.S. The company only provides annual leave and benefits on the three major holidays. At the small company counters, two people are assigned per counter; there are eight days off every eight days. Apart from annual leave, no other leave can be requested.) Later, on September 23, my supervisor came to Taipei for training. That day, they did not mention that I was unsuitable for the job. The supervisor later asked whether I had any plans to get married. I said that I planned to register my marriage this year. The next day, the supervisor sent me a Line message saying that they had told the boss about this. The boss asked whether we were planning to have children. I said that I had no particular plans at the moment and would let nature take its course. The supervisor then replied that, because the company had plans to expand, it needed stable staff. They said that stability meant being able to work continuously, and also said that if I were dismissed, I would be notified two weeks in advance. Yesterday, they sent me another message saying that the company was going to enroll me in labor and health insurance on October 1 and needed to confirm whether my ID card had been changed, because they did not know whether I had registered my marriage. I then realized that my supervisor had not enrolled me in labor and health insurance this month. The supervisor even insisted that this had been mentioned during the interview, but it absolutely had not. The supervisor later admitted that it was their oversight and said they would enroll me. Then today, they suddenly messaged me saying that after evaluating me, the company had decided I was unsuitable and would terminate my employment! This is obviously marital discrimination. All I can say is that when looking for a job, it is still better to find a company of a certain size. Small companies like this expect you not to marry or have children and to devote yourself completely to the company, while offering almost no benefits. You really need to think carefully.
