Workplace reviews and discussion: 宏裕汽車股份有限公司

None

There are two supervisors who are very slick with the boss. On the surface, they do not put on airs, but in reality they use both soft and hard tactics with subordinates. At first, they treated employees using the factory’s way of doing things; later, they subjected them to all kinds of criticism and deliberately difficult attitude tests. Their management was completely disorganized. In the end, they judged efficiency without reflecting on whether there was a problem with their own communication skills, and eventually even expected employees to take the blame themselves. They are irresponsible supervisors: clearly wanting to force someone out, difficult to communicate with, and still claiming that it is the employee’s own problem.

One plays the good cop and the other the bad cop. The good cop does not handle matters himself and expects others to arrange everything for him. He assigns unprofitable projects to employees and handles profitable ones himself.

The bad cop speaks in a sexist way and is irritating, long-winded, morally coercive, and emotionally manipulative. He does not pay overtime (he gets it himself, but employees do not). By evaluating subordinates’ efficiency, he demands that they reflect on themselves—specifically, why they are asking for overtime pay. He has repeatedly violated the Labor Standards Act, yet shifts the blame to the administrative department.

He does not clearly state what he wants, harms project efficiency, and then blames subordinates. He wants to drive people out while keeping himself in place; after exploiting people, he also ostracizes them. He competes with the administrative department to see who is worse at dealing with people, with both sides shirking responsibility and outdoing each other in incompetence. They are hypocritical, constantly testing others, disrespectful, and extremely lacking in class.

Do not assume that only female employees form cliques and exclude people. There are plenty of male supervisors here who engage in intrigues and sacrifice frontline employees, yet they only criticize women—people in glass houses should not throw stones. The automotive industry basically objectifies and looks down on women. Men are likely to have an easier time getting hired here; those considering applying should take that into account. There is little opportunity for promotion here. As long as the old-timers remain, you can forget about it.

Because the factory offers poor compensation, all the local Taiwanese workers have left, leaving only Vietnamese workers. Vietnamese workers are hired for filming and given cheap red envelopes. The conditions for office staff are not much better either. The boss’s wife is very irritating; you have to be extremely polite when dealing with her. She treats employees like children. I suggest studying some management theory before managing employees. Stop using emotional manipulation all the time and treating employees like idiots. You demand etiquette but do not understand mutual respect. The company will never improve.
