Workplace reviews and discussion: 岑卓工程顧問有限公司

1. Colleagues are easy to get along with

2. There is afternoon tea from time to time

1. The boss often verbally abuses and insults employees, yet also frequently boasts about how good their academic qualifications and abilities are. However, their EQ cannot keep up with their academic qualifications—IQ does not equal EQ after all.

2. Being one minute late results in half a month’s perfect-attendance bonus being deducted, but overtime cannot be calculated by the minute and can only be counted in half-hour increments.

3. Some departments love working overtime. If you do not cooperate with overtime, people will talk about you behind your back or bully you. Shouldn’t they instead consider what kind of inefficiency makes overtime necessary?

4. If an employee resigns after a long holiday, they will be accused of trying to take advantage of the salary for those few days. If they resign before the holiday, they will be required to work until the holiday, allowing the company to save the salary for those days off. They are extremely calculating.

5. Whenever the boss is unhappy, they casually threaten to sue people.

6. If the boss is unhappy with an employee, they allegedly do not want to pay the salary on time. They use wording that says they will explain when the person brings it up: it is not that they are refusing to pay the salary, but that the employee has to come and collect it in cash. This may violate the Labor Standards Act.

8. Some employees’ labor insurance salaries are underreported at the minimum level, which may also violate the law.

9. Salaries are low, yet the boss thinks they pay very well. Only after discovering a high turnover rate among new hires or being unable to recruit anyone do they think of increasing the salaries of current employees—but the raises are so small that changing jobs is a better option.

10. They easily paint grand visions, telling employees that doing tasks outside their job responsibilities will help them learn more and grow. In reality, it increases the workload without increasing pay.

11. They do not listen to what people say but love asking for their opinions. They choose not to hear anything they do not want to hear, then blame employees for having no opinions or for not following what they say.

12. Internal policies change constantly, but only through private conversations; no announcements are issued for all employees to know. Then everyone is blamed for not cooperating with the policies and for doing things according to their own ideas.

13. When there is a problem, they only know how to blame former employees. There is not a single person who has not been spoken about negatively. Blaming others is easy, but they never reflect on themselves or the system.

14. Explaining work-related problems to a supervisor feels like throwing water into the sea.
