Workplace reviews and discussion: 緯謙科技股份有限公司

Other than access to Wistron’s shared resources, there are no other advantages.

Six months ago, the sales team began complaining that it was extremely difficult to secure new projects, and the company’s revenue started experiencing major problems.

Five months ago, after finally recruiting suitable engineers to join the company, the incompetent boss said that headcount control had begun. As a result, the incompetent boss stopped recognizing the manpower requisition forms that had originally been approved by the same boss.

HR had already made verbal offers, but could only awkwardly apologize to the candidates.

Because performance continued to decline and the company had no incoming revenue, the incompetent boss kept saying that everyone should have an entrepreneurial spirit and hoped that people would not be concerned about their current salaries. At the same time, each person was expected to handle more than three people’s workloads, but the company was unwilling to allow employees to report overtime.

The incompetent boss constantly called the senior managers under them on holidays. The senior managers then had no choice but to repeatedly call their own employees.

Some senior managers even told their employees, “Why aren’t you sending and receiving emails or answering phone calls on holidays?”

The incompetent boss had no clear goal for the company’s direction. As a result, new hires were often inexplicably reassigned to different responsibilities, which differed from what had been discussed during the interviews. For example, someone hired as a sales representative might be required to handle marketing operations, while the original performance evaluation targets for the sales position remained unchanged.

The boss also kept saying that the company was a startup—even though it had already been operating for seven years and had more than one hundred employees—and repeatedly emphasized that constantly adjusting employees’ responsibilities was normal for a startup.

Four months ago, the company’s performance still showed no improvement. The incompetent boss ordered that all new hires who completed their three-month probationary periods would fail probation. They either had to accept an extension of the probationary period or resign voluntarily.

Three months ago, there were increasingly more vacant seats in the office. At first, people thought the employees were working from home due to home isolation or had applied to work remotely. Only later did they learn that these people had already resigned.

Two months ago, the incompetent boss came to the office and directly monitored junior employees’ work progress, even beginning to yell at them. The entire office could hear it clearly.

To this day, headcount remains frozen. The work of employees who have resigned continues to be taken on by those who remain.

This is the current situation at Wiwynn.
