Workplace reviews and discussion: 三宅一秀空間創藝有限公司

At first, I felt that the environment was bright and clean. The company was also divided into departments, and the supervisors and colleagues all seemed easy to get along with.

You could feel the friendliness.

The starting salary was quite high. They said overtime would be paid, and the company emphasized teamwork. The boss also had a very good public image.

1. The turnover rate is shockingly high, and you often end up taking over huge messes left behind by departing colleagues.

2. The boss and supervisors have extremely little trust in employees. They are constantly monitoring and suspecting you, and you can feel the accountant watching you suspiciously.

3. When an important on-site decision needs to be made, the boss often says, “I’ll tell you later,” and always says they are very busy and have meetings to attend, while showing an impatient expression.

4. The supervisors often shift the blame and do not even listen to employees’ concerns.

5. The drawings are a complete mess. A single set of drawings may be handled by several people—usually left behind by departing colleagues—and revised repeatedly. There is no definitive version, and once construction starts, the site workers may receive an incorrect version.

6. The entire work process is chaotic. In order to bill the client, construction methods are sometimes problematic, and the subcontractors also become unhappy with the work. Complaints are frequently heard.

7. Because the payment terms are so long, subcontractors rush to complete whatever work they can in order to get paid, resulting in unfinished cleanup and closeout work later.

8. Additional work is frequently requested from the homeowner, leaving the designer unable to please either side.

9. The boss often seems to have memory lapses, forgetting what they themselves said. This can even result in drawings having to be redrawn, after which you are blamed for how you drew them.

10. It feels as though only the boss’s godchildren are valued. People are treated with very little respect. You can feel that the supervisors love flattering the boss and abusing their authority, while speaking badly about you behind your back. Even if you are willing to contribute to the company and do your best work, you will ultimately be made unhappy.

11. They refuse to pay overtime, using the excuse that having only one construction site does not count as overtime.

12. You can clearly feel the unhappiness of the other colleagues.

The remaining issues have also been explained by other people. Unless you can become the boss’s godchild, I do not recommend joining this company. Otherwise, you will only waste your time and suffer unfair treatment. That’s all.
