Workplace reviews and discussion: One Boy_卓昱有限公司

The colleagues are all pretty nice.

Clocking in and out with LINE is quite convenient.

Labor and health insurance were arranged on the very day I reported for work.

Maybe they’re afraid after being reported before~

There are rest breaks during the daily work hours.

(Warehouse department staff)

(Once in the morning, twice in the afternoon)

(Ten minutes each time)

I am a former full-time employee who has already resigned.

I stayed for a little over two months.

The company is the standalone building in the Sanchong Industrial Park.

Working at this company is just like serving in the military!

There is a morning roll call and work assignments.

At the end of the day, everyone has to assemble

and wait for the senior manager to say, “Those who have nothing else to do can leave,”

before you can clock out and go home.

Isn’t all of this exactly like a military schedule!?

The clock-out time is usually around 6:15 p.m.

They really know how to squeeze an extra 15 minutes out of you every day....

Work starts at 9 a.m. every day.

The senior warehouse manager calls everyone’s name one by one,

then assigns people to work.

Those who aren’t assigned work

are basically the odd-job squad.

What they often do is....

Receive shipments, count goods, move goods, stack goods, seal boxes, and so on.

Strictly speaking, it’s all exhausting, thankless work.

We’re the ones who take all of it on.

So we often sarcastically call this company....

“Zhuo Yu Moving Company.”

The warehouse department has two senior managers (one man and one woman).

Man: Basically, he has to control even the tiniest matters.

Woman: She plays the role of the good cop and messenger, without any real authority.

A lot of the time, you still have to ask Uncle (the male manager).

This company is an e-commerce business with no procedures!

Today they say to use one operating method,

tomorrow they switch to another,

or what they say in the morning changes by the afternoon.

It’s a constantly shifting, rolling SOP process from start to finish.

In the afternoon, most people are pulled in to pack orders.

There is a conveyor-belt machine used for the work.

If you don’t attach your personal barcode, you’re fined NT$80 per item.

The difference in treatment between the company’s full-time employees

and dispatched workers is really huge.

Sometimes when you hear the male manager calling for a dispatched worker,

it feels like he’s calling them “Hey, you!”—they have names and surnames too.

They’re all employees working for your company.

Is there really a need to treat them like that!?

I feel it’s rather disrespectful!

I’ve heard senior dispatched workers say

that the warehouse supervisors used to forbid them from taking the elevator.

They had to use the stairs both coming to and leaving work.

There is also differential treatment among full-time employees.

One type consists of the king’s people (favorites).

If they make a mistake, at most the manager gives them a brief scolding.

The other type consists of employees with no connections at all.

If they make mistakes or pick orders (there are set KPI targets)

and fail to meet the standard, when everyone assembles at the end of the day~

just wait to be chewed out mercilessly....

It’s harder than reaching the heavens to earn their trust....

This company is a family business (Hakka people).

You can tell from the accent of their managers that they’re very Hakka.

All sorts of signs point to them being very Hakka:

they treat their own people better and are very stingy toward ordinary employees.

There are several expensive luxury cars in the underground parking lot:

Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Porsches, and so on.

Yet the cost of these clothes and jackets is extremely low.

Basically, every item sold is pure profit.

Quality control is practically nonexistent.

Compared with all this,

they’re actually stingy enough to haggle over employees’ overtime pay.

It’s truly ironic~

Overtime:

On Mondays and Fridays, overtime until 10 p.m. is mandatory.

On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, you can choose one day not to work overtime.

And the boxed meals provided for overtime are terribly unappetizing....

Overtime pay only counts once you complete a full half hour.

If you clock out at 28 or 29 minutes today,

you still won’t receive any overtime pay.

Strictly speaking....

The underground parking lot is also part of the warehouse.

Because if there isn’t enough space upstairs,

they send the goods downstairs....

Of the employees I worked with,

most came here during the pandemic.

That’s because they all only joined this year.

This place is suitable as a stepping stone or for short-term work.

I don’t recommend staying long-term.

Because aside from being exhausting, the pay is ridiculously low,

and the managers (decision-makers) are brainless and lack foresight.

They often ask you to do pointless things.

For example: boxed goods that don’t fit upstairs

are moved to the underground parking lot for storage.

A few days later, they tell you to move the same goods

back upstairs and stack them.

It’s an endless cycle of repeatedly doing meaningless work.

In other words, whenever a shipment arrives,

and the goods have been received, counted, and boxed,

if there’s no room upstairs again....

that’s when they start making you do this brain-dead work~
