Workplace reviews and discussion: 家悅科技有限公司

0. Boss: “I’m watching all of you while you work.”

1. To explain, the company has no system of accountability, so no one needs to take responsibility. The boss says that the company is like one big family and that everyone should work together to solve any problems.

When a problem arises, you bring it up with the boss and ask for their opinion. But every time, the boss says: “I don’t think what you’re talking about is the real problem.”

They respond to a question with another question, asking what your problem is and what difficulties you have.

What is a problem? You only ask questions because you don’t understand something, but the answer you get is always just “figure it out yourself.”

2. Bonuses, perfect-attendance bonuses, overtime pay, payment in lieu of annual leave, and other expenses are extremely unclear and uncertain. Here are some examples:

Bonuses: Bonuses should be distributed based on an individual’s contributions and efforts. That should be obvious. But... for example, the bonus ranges from a minimum of 1,000 to a maximum of 2,000.

One month, you work extremely hard and end up receiving a bonus of 1,500. The next month, you slack off a little and end up receiving a bonus of 2,000.

So is it actually better to slack off?

Perfect attendance: Sometimes it is 1,000, and sometimes it is 1,500. Even when you have not been late or anything, your perfect-attendance bonus is deducted.

Overtime pay: The calculation is completely unclear. They say work hours are calculated based on the time card, but when you ask about it, they say this is something you should be doing and that it is your responsibility.

(I have kept my pay statements in case someone denies this.)

Payment in lieu of annual leave: This is calculated by multiplying the number of annual-leave days unused over the year by a monetary amount. For example, if one day is worth 1,500 and you have completed exactly one year, you should have 7 days.

Logically, that would be 1,500 × 7 = 10,500, but the amount actually received was 8,000. When I followed up, they said, “No, that’s not right. I’ll calculate it for you later.”

When I asked after work, the other person had already left. When I followed up again, they changed the subject, saying things like, “So, how is your work going now?”

3. The manager of the Administration Department spends all day on the phone chatting with their son, and then goes around publicizing and bragging about how wonderful their son is...

When you ask them for help with something, they say things like, “I’m very busy right now,” or “This is your job; you should handle it yourself,” using sarcastic and mocking remarks.

When you are genuinely busy, they even come over and ask, “What exactly are you so busy with?” I really don’t know how to answer.

They also expect you to take work home because they want to lock up and leave at the end of the day.

4. The Administration Department manager keeps assigning you work that you were not originally supposed to handle, while telling you that it is your job and your responsibility.

They arbitrarily increase your workload and then turn around and ask, “What exactly are you so busy with?”

5. The Administration Department manager does not lead with empathy and only wants to exploit full-time employees’ abilities, demanding that subordinates obediently follow orders. If you do not comply, they will find ways to deduct money from your pay.

They also tell the boss fabricated stories, knowing that the boss will not verify them with the people involved, and secretly slander others by making up all kinds of things.

6. The boss is constantly afraid that sales staff will earn performance bonuses and loves competing with them for sales. When the bonuses are too high, they use other methods to prevent the sales staff from receiving them.

The money always ends up in the boss’s pocket, and then everyone is told that the company is losing money and that employees should be more considerate of the company.

7. The Administration Department manager constantly talks behind the backs of employees who have resigned and secretly slanders them.

“Look at so-and-so. After they resigned, their sales performance grew every day.”

“Changing jobs just means they have no ambition to improve.”

8. Thank you to this company for helping us both “grow.”

There are no drawbacks. Apply immediately.
