Workplace reviews and discussion: 中鋼保全股份有限公司

The work content at the company is simple.

You only need to stand guard, issue passes at the internal checkpoint, and direct traffic.

The salary complies with the Labor Standards Act.

I work at a site in Taichung.

It is a site assigned to China Steel Corporation.

Overall, the atmosphere among colleagues is quite poor.

This is because working hours are often 288 hours per month.

The salary complies with the Labor Standards Act.

After completing 288 hours, my salary is about NT$41,000.

Actually, with ten days off per month, it is approximately NT$36,000.

However, there is a rotating-shift system.

Shifts are changed approximately once every five days.

It is quite inhumane.

This means we have seven days off per month.

It also takes approximately two to four days to adjust our schedules.

Although most of us endure it in order to receive this salary,

unfortunately, the managers at this company like to shirk responsibility.

They also lack the tolerance to retain employees.

Apart from the work originally agreed upon, this company often requires additional duties.

The cameras were installed to monitor colleagues’ work conditions.

We are monitored by surveillance cameras for all twelve hours.

I almost feel like a criminal.

What is even more frightening is that

colleagues also take photos of one another sleeping on the job.

The working hours are already painfully long,

and colleagues still undermine one another.

Managers frequently rearrange your days off,

saying that everyone needs to support one another during difficult times.

Yet the managers themselves get ten days off per month.

As for things like secretly photographing colleagues sleeping,

the managers also tolerate and indulge them.

In addition to these issues,

they often do unreasonable things such as having you change shifts after only one day.

As a result, the shift schedule is extremely chaotic.

They are always saying they cannot find enough people.

We already regularly work twelve-hour shifts.

After work, just having dinner and taking a shower means it is already 8:30 or 9:00 p.m.

There is hardly any private life.

Therefore, apart from these work-related topics,

colleagues talk about many trivial matters,

and they are often exaggerated and untrue.

In conclusion, people who are short on money and can endure this pressure

can take this job.

Otherwise, many colleagues develop diabetes, severe obesity, and high blood pressure.

Many of them show early symptoms at a very young age.

The managers only blame colleagues for having undisciplined private lives.

No matter how much time we spend changing shifts,

they regard it as something we are simply expected to do.

I feel it is really not worth it.
