So humble that they can only share Wistron’s benefits
Starting in November 2021, this company required all new employees, regardless of their position, to pass Microsoft’s AZ-900 certification exam during their probationary period.
Even HR, finance, marketing employees, and assistants all had to pass the AZ-900 certification exam.
If you failed, the consequences were:
1. Your probationary period would be extended by three months; if you failed again, you would be asked to leave.
2. Your probation would be approved first, but if you still failed within one month, you would also be asked to leave.
At first, I thought this exploitative boss had some grand ideal behind requiring everyone to pass AZ-900. It turned out to be nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of Microsoft’s subsidies. The company seemed to be so poor that it was on the verge of starving and had to rely on Microsoft’s meager subsidy to survive.
Life is short, and there are plenty of good jobs in Taipei City. Non-IT employees have no reason to waste their lives preparing for a certification unrelated to their professional expertise just to keep this company alive. After leaving this company in the future, AZ-900 will provide no benefit whatsoever to non-IT employees.
Moreover, even if you pass AZ-900, the exploitative boss will not give you a raise.
