Workplace reviews and discussion: 佳禕國際有限公司

Only 7.5 working hours per day

Almost always leave work on time

The boss has a good attitude

Flexible work scheduling

The stated job title is merely for reference

Because the company has very few employees

Once you join, the scope of work covers just about everything—probably spanning the entire Taiwan Strait

You may need to be the boss’s assistant, occasionally translating documents or PowerPoint presentations in Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean.

Often, even the supervisor doesn’t understand the situation. Whenever there’s a problem, you’re simply told to search for the answer yourself online, or given a vague remark like, “The information should be somewhere on the computer.”

You end up spending a lot of energy in the vast sea of information doing things very inefficiently.

Many tasks can only be figured out on your own, so your growth is slow. You need to handle many complicated, trivial tasks that provide little accumulated experience.

It feels like a waste of time—for example, helping the boss’s business partner design labels and stand-up signs for free-range chicken and salted chicken (What company am I actually working for?)

Finding quotes from sanitary tableware suppliers? Searching for knife manufacturers? A floor plan of the PS parking lot?

Laying out a friend’s business card for a charity organization or temple hall? In short, you’re responsible for anything you can think of—and anything you can’t.

The company environment is rather closed off, and the work atmosphere is very dull.

Most importantly, there is an inexplicable rule that being one minute late results in a NT$2,000 deduction from your perfect-attendance bonus.

You may also be asked to take packages that need to be shipped and mail them on your way home after work,

because there are only a few of them, so you shouldn’t use work hours to do it (?)

It sounds reasonable, but in fact it’s completely unreasonable.

People who want to train their emotional intelligence and develop a wide range of skills can come and experience it.
