There is plenty of honey to eat

- Policies

1. Regardless of the actual salary received, the labor and health insurance salary bracket is always set at the minimum level.

2. No salary details are provided; annual leave is not handled in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, and there are no records showing how many days of annual leave each employee is entitled to. The company shows no concern or interest whatsoever in providing employees with the systems and benefits they are legally entitled to.

3. Although 104 indicates that sick leave can be taken without salary deductions, taking too much sick leave will still draw concern; for the past two years, there has been no year-end party or spring banquet, and the company has made no statement about it.

4. The boss once said that the company did not need to follow legal regulations or formal systems. Despite not providing overtime pay, the boss frequently complained that employees left work on time and did not devote more effort to the company.

- Disrespect for employees

1. The boss has no respect whatsoever for boundaries between people of different genders, and incidents involving putting an arm around someone’s shoulders, pressing against their body, and even worse behavior occur frequently. Female colleagues are not unconcerned; they simply do not know how to respond. That does not mean they accept these disgusting behaviors.

2. Employees’ positions are changed or their workloads increased arbitrarily, in ways that do not match the work discussed during the interview, which is highly detrimental to employees’ long-term career planning. If things do not go the bosses’ way, employees will also be subjected to the bosses’ backbiting and low-class comments about their work abilities.

3. Female colleagues have been assigned work other than that of an administrative assistant, yet were repeatedly required to clean the bosses’ offices and bring them water every day. Even after the colleagues protested, this impolite and undignified behavior was not corrected.

4. During the pandemic, the boss ignored protective rules regarding mask-wearing and mocked colleagues who were concerned about infection and took strict measures to protect themselves. After work, the boss would also invite various union personnel to gather in the office, making loud noise and commotion.

- Nowhere to place the grand vision

1. The company dreams of becoming part of the tech industry but uses traditional-industry thinking to carry out everything.

2. The company is run with an engineering-oriented approach. The boss looks down considerably on interior designers, but publicly acts like close friends with famous designers, while privately saying that all interior design companies will go out of business within five years and that the future trend will no longer include the interior design industry; instead, engineering combined with information technology will dominate.

3. The company often says it wants to provide customers with the best solutions and service, but ultimately fails to meet customers’ needs. One customer once complained about poor service quality, but the boss considered the customer a difficult client who did not understand engineering.

4. The company imagines rapidly expanding its scale like Amazon and Google, yet in less than a year, 16 colleagues have successively resigned. (The headcount is approximately 20 people.) The turnover rate is unimaginably high. There is no self-reflection; instead, colleagues are blamed for inciting others. Everyone is an adult, and no one can influence others that easily. Moreover, this occurred during the pandemic, and those who insisted on leaving were deemed abnormal.

If your work has no goals, you know how to flatter people, and you are good at using company resources (you like eating snacks or drinking honey), you definitely need to board the bosses’ great aircraft carrier!
