Workplace reviews and discussion: 晨露國際貿易有限公司

Makes you willingly study the Labor Standards Act in depth 🙃 and become a Labor Standards Act expert.

There is overtime pay, and there are cats (friendly and happy to be petted).

No attendance bonus, no lunch allowance, no year-end bonus,

no fixed payday, rotating shifts required in special circumstances,

no bonuses for the three major holidays, underreported salaries, no pay slips,

unclear division of responsibilities, and some practices violate the Labor Standards Act.

At the time, the company had only six full-time employees.

There was no well-established system. When I first joined, there was no one who fully understood the company's operating systems to guide me, so I had to figure everything out on my own.

Although things were fairly relaxed at times, the boss would complain if there was nothing to do, yet would not assign any work, leaving you to find things to do yourself. Sometimes you would be asked to do things that were outside the responsibilities of the position.

Decisions and external statements changed constantly, with poor communication. There were too many points of contact externally, so information was not properly communicated between management and employees, or the information differed.

Management was sometimes unable to resolve the company's problems and would repeatedly delay them, leaving employees to placate customers. When disputes arose, employees were made to use canned responses, which felt somewhat dismissive, or management would simply shirk responsibility. Also, because the boss and upper management did not have a thorough understanding of their own products, many subsequent repair and maintenance tasks were difficult to carry out.

Some practices violate the Labor Standards Act. Employees' average salaries were above NT$27,000, but their insured salaries for labor and health insurance were reported at the minimum level.

The boss's famous saying: “Talking about the Labor Standards Act hurts feelings. Who talks about the Labor Standards Act these days?”
