Workplace reviews and discussion: 高明鐵企業股份有限公司

1. Unless work progress falls seriously behind, simply staying at your desk chatting for twenty or thirty minutes is generally enough to make both the boss and employees happy to go home. If progress falls behind, it’s only two or three hours a day—unfortunately, there’s no overtime pay or compensatory leave; it’s all voluntary.

2. Quite a few employees come and go every month. The advantage is that almost no one is laid off; everyone is able to part on good terms and leave voluntarily.

3. The company encourages employees to take their annual leave, so there is no overwork. Employees are asked to schedule their annual leave at the outset, and the cash-out value of unused leave is reduced through various deductions, so employees will naturally take leave when they should. Of course, responsible employees will make up their own work so progress does not fall behind.

4. As a family business, you only need to meet the needs of senior management and do not really need to make any special contribution. It does not matter if progress falls behind; the key is to make senior management feel that employees are responsible and to put the company first, treating it like home.

5. The company offers various internal training courses, most of which take place during working hours, and also organizes charitable activities to give back to society.

The company is beautiful and new, and the restaurant is large with many dishes, which can easily make people complacent and unwilling to leave. The salary is on the low side, and you may have to wait until the company makes a profit to receive a year-end bonus.
