All of these are operated by the same selfish and greedy boss, Mr. Lin. The company registrations can all be looked up. He is stingy, greedy, and knowingly violates the law. The Taipei City Government's published list of business entities and business owners violating the Labor Standards Act can be checked, but an inspection may only be conducted if the person concerned files a report.

Almost everyone who remains there is like this: they try to take advantage of break times, overtime pay, working hours, and your clock-out time.

I have also seen them pressure the accounting and general affairs staff to provide support at Xiaot樽 Coffee on weekdays and holidays—mostly holidays. In short, they never hire enough people, and of course they never have enough staff.

If you want to exchange your time for more money, you can go, but the extra hours are not paid as overtime; they are all off the books.

The Xiaot樽 Handmade Coffee where I worked:

The raises and bonuses promised during the interview never materialized. The money in the tip box would decrease, but you would not receive any of it.

They simply want to squeeze you dry.

For hourly part-time work, when it is busy, they make you add hours; when it is not busy, they make you leave early.

During the pandemic, they laid off employees from the other stores,

and still required them to support the factory.

At first, they may treat you well, but gradually it actually becomes centered around the store manager, followed by her family and friends. Yet she will say that she treats everyone very well—she says it so much that she even believes it herself.

They will also pressure you to resign voluntarily, while finding all kinds of faults with you and scolding you.
