Location: Kaohsiung / Customer Service. A certain male manager at the department-manager level or above, because the company headquarters is in Taipei, acts like an emperor in Kaohsiung, stirring up trouble as if it were the Kaohsiung Far EasTone kingdom. He completely disregards headquarters. This male manager is especially fond of men and frequently looks for men to come into the office to chat. His male favorites can come in whenever they want, while everyone else has to knock and ask permission before entering the office. Even when a certain male favorite previously quit after deliberately being absent from work out of resentment, this manager still agreed to reinstate him (the rules clearly state that anyone dismissed for absenteeism will never be rehired). This male favorite only has a high school education, yet in less than two years, the manager promoted him from a new hire to a department-manager-level supervisor (even though such a position clearly requires at least five years of experience). He also openly displays their same-sex romantic rapport in public. These male favorites are responsible for keeping this male manager company; they can chat throughout working hours without having to work. Discipline is an absolute mess. It is just like one person attaining enlightenment and even the chickens and dogs ascending to heaven: he can promote you or tell you to go home and fend for yourself—it is all up to him. He completely ignores your efforts and contributions, and there is no system of checks and balances whatsoever. It is as if this were a dictatorship, with everyone else barely surviving in the cracks. There is also a certain manager who smiles in front of people but calls you into a meeting room afterward to berate you harshly. The company says it is recruiting customer-service staff in Kaohsiung, but in reality it is only looking for new male favorites. This is an era of diverse families, but gay men should not be stigmatized in this way. Therefore, I advise anyone who does not want to become a male favorite and is considering joining Kaohsiung customer service to think very, very carefully—again and again and again. Don’t contaminate your precious life...
