Workplace reviews and discussion: 中良工業股份有限公司

?

You really shouldn’t work for this company. It’s a typical family business—the company is basically their family’s domain.

The accounting and finance department is full of relatives and favorites. If you accidentally upset anyone, they’ll spread the word about you everywhere, making it difficult to get things done afterward. Some of the long-time employees have very bad tempers and are the type to yell. If you leave work on time, some of them will even help publicize it.

There’s also an assistant manager who seems not to do anything all day. Every time I see him, he’s smoking; he even disappears halfway through meetings. Perhaps he usually doesn’t perform very well, so he thinks that pointing out and widely publicizing a colleague’s minor numerical error makes him look capable and shows that he’s doing something. In fact, everyone knows what he’s up to.

With a few years of experience at an accounting firm, you can coast along there and bluff the older employees into believing almost anything. You also need to know how to argue; otherwise, you’ll be completely steamrolled by older employees whose educational backgrounds are anyone’s guess. A very unusual company.
