Workplace reviews and discussion: 四維精密材料股份有限公司

NO

1. Only NT$1,000 is given for the year-end banquet.

2. Some departments have a duty roster system.

3. The salaries offered are not high.

4. There are virtually no benefits.

5. Obedience and acting like a slave are considered more important. As a result, a form that HR “wants to see” after three months becomes very important. If you want to survive here, fill in all the options that satisfy the company, because compared with what you have done over those three months, this company places more importance on a form measuring your subservience.

6. The job listings say that certain positions do not require business trips, yet they do require business trips. However, I believe all exploitative employers in this country play the same game anyway; in any case, the labor authorities do not dare to and will not investigate.

7. Some departments hold meetings almost every day. Be careful: when they think you are too expensive, they may use this as a reason to fire you. When they fire people, they call it “voluntary resignation,” which is completely illegal.

8. Because the company naturally wants to save money, exchanging overtime for overtime pay will be subject to “moral pressure” (not persuasion). Overtime must also be reported in advance, although many exploitative employers use the same tactic.

Given the reasons above, do you still think this company has anything going for it?

Recent graduates, don’t be foolishly lured here. The only relatively stable positions at this company are making tape, handling the accounts, and sales; the stability of the others is difficult to say.

Just search for the background of this company’s very first chairman and you will discover some problems.
