Workplace reviews and discussion: 異象醫藥公關有限公司

None

First, everything said in the other posts is correct; I’m here to add some details about what makes this place so remarkable.

# Yixiang Medical and Pharmaceutical Public Relations Co., Ltd. is registered under Li Jinglan’s name. She is also the company’s general manager and the center of power.

# Li Jinglan graduated in the eighth graduating class of the Department of Health and Nutrition at Taipei Medical University, then went to Columbia University in New York to pursue a master’s degree in human nutrition. She considers herself medically trained and, as of 2022, is the chairperson of the Taipei Medical University Alumni Association.

# Vice President Pan Kewei has a pharmaceutical-company background but no real authority or voice. Basically, all decisions are made by the boss. He is also responsible for chauffeuring the boss and his three dogs.

# For unclear reasons, the company also uses Yixiang Medical and Pharmaceutical Public Relations (Li Jinglan) and Jih-Her Marketing (Pan Kewei) as names under which it operates.

# The company emphasizes that everything complies with the Labor Standards Act. Therefore, when employees’ working hours at Yixiang Medical and Pharmaceutical Public Relations exceed the limits prescribed by the Act, their wages are issued through Yixiang Medical and Pharmaceutical Public Relations instead (holiday overtime and consecutive working hours exceeding 12 hours).

# The company’s 2021 revenue was approximately NT$30–40 million or more. The two core managers (W and J) earn around NT$100,000 per month, with a low base salary supplemented by payments under other designations. Bonuses are unknown. Employee salaries can be checked on the 104 job site.

# Interns are unpaid because they are here to learn.

Characteristics

# All decisions, large or small, within the company must go through the boss. The boss has absolute power and controls everything.

# Everyone is both a project manager and a project executor. The boss also calls performance-review meetings depending on their mood. At these times, everyone is referred to as “sales,” while colleagues are then told that they are not expected to be responsible for performance—the performance burden is supposedly on the boss, who is working very hard.

# The company’s rules are unpredictable and change according to the boss’s wishes. Usually, there are fewer rules when things are busy; the opposite is true when the boss has more free time.

# The company prefers clients who have no ideas and are easy to manipulate. It complains about and criticizes clients with more ideas behind their backs because projects cannot proceed according to the boss’s wishes.

# The company favors people who are highly submissive, strong in execution, lacking in critical thinking, and lacking independent thought. Those with ideas and opinions who can operate independently are subjected to various forms of harassment and obstruction.

Other Miracles

# The disorganized storage room was not scheduled for cleaning until word of it reached people outside the company.

# Employees do not use the company thermometer. The boss responded, “The thermometer isn’t broken; the problem is with the person using it.”

# The boss threatens employees preparing to resign by saying, “There is screen recording on every computer in the company.”

# What exactly is the meaning of putting a dog on the conference table?

The V in VMPR is short for “vision.” The word “vision” originates from the visions in the Bible. In its etymological sense, it is an image or scene that has been seen, describing a scene that will be achieved in the future; it also refers to an aspiration, meaning the scene or blueprint a company hopes to achieve in the future.

So I have to ask: Li Jinglan, where is your vision?
