Workplace reviews and discussion: 美德耐股份有限公司

1. Salary is not paid on time

2. Even when working overtime to the point of exhaustion, it is only paid at 1.33 times the regular rate

3. Does not comply with the Labor Standards Act, but operates right on the edge of it

4. A place for people who do not seek advancement and only want a meager salary

5. A pretty good place to coast toward retirement

Salaries are generally low, and one person is expected to do many things. Once they see that you can do something, they will ask you to do it, or they will randomly assign it to someone (even if it is not part of your duties). Once you do it, it becomes your responsibility. There will be no raise, and you will also be scolded from time to time over event proposals. Meetings are held constantly, but they never produce any results; you just sit there listening to the boss vent and serve as an outlet for his frustration. The company is very old-fashioned, its methods are outdated, and it is often behind the times. The way they speak is also unpleasant. There is also the “boss’s wife,” Sister Chen, whom you all mention. She is very good at judging people. The people who come for interviews are all incompetent, yet people say that Sister Chen is sentimental and values old relationships. In reality, she judges people: if she does not take to you (especially if she did not interview you), she will make trouble for you, even if you have worked there for many years. Year-end bonuses are given according to her mood, not seniority or how much you have contributed there. If she likes you, you get a one-month bonus; if you are disobedient or she does not like you, you get less than one month. You also have to be careful when answering her. Even when you genuinely do not know something, you cannot be honest; you have to lie to her and say, “Okay, I’ll look into it.” You cannot speak the truth at this company. If you do, you will offend her, and for no apparent reason she will hold it against you. (People say she values old relationships, but she actually has no human feeling at all.) You will need to be careful from then on. Anyone considering working here should choose carefully~
