Workplace reviews and discussion: 陶子實業有限公司

None

During the interview, the owner’s wife said that she would teach me how to retouch people’s photos during the handover. However, on the first day of the handover, I found out that the owner’s wife had made that decision on her own. The previous graphic designer said she wouldn’t teach me, so she told the owner’s wife that the position might not be a good fit and asked them to find someone who already knew how to do it. The owner’s wife then said that there was no work progress during the probationary period, so she didn’t have to pay me. Only after I told her that this violated the Labor Standards Act and that I would report it did she pay me. Does an employee’s time not count as time? I spent half a day there on the handover and couldn’t get paid? What kind of mindset is that…

I really urge anyone considering going for an interview to think twice.
