Workplace reviews and discussion: 暐世生物科技股份有限公司

(1) A small number of colleagues are nice and help one another.

(2) The restrooms are very clean.

(3) There is a pantry outside the office with a coffee machine, microwave, refrigerator, and RO reverse-osmosis water dispenser (hot, warm, and cold). The cabinets contain tea bags, coffee beans, snacks, and more.

(4) The company provides catered lunches at NT$45 per meal, deducted from our salaries. I don't think they taste good.

I worked in the medical devices group of the Sales Department under a responsibility-based system. Overtime had to be requested in advance and could only be worked after approval. Overtime could only be exchanged for compensatory leave; no overtime pay was provided. (Any overtime request not approved by a senior supervisor or the boss was considered part of the responsibility-based system, meaning there was neither overtime pay nor compensatory leave.) Although my supervisor knew I had nothing to do, he still disliked me leaving work on time. My supervisor was extremely emotional: when he was in a good mood, everything was pleasant, but when he was in a bad mood, even the slightest thing that did not go his way would make him hysterical. I was often yelled at for no reason. A few times, my phone was slow to receive messages, so I did not handle some matters immediately (though none were particularly important), and he even told me to write a letter of self-reflection. He also yelled at me for having a phone that was too lousy and not using an Apple product. Another unfortunate thing about working under him was that I was the only employee in the department. The other two supervisors (one of whom was the general manager's son) had their own work to do, so whenever the supervisor had unpleasant or difficult tasks, he would assign them all to me, while speaking in a very rude tone. He did not dare argue with people from other departments, so even when they made mistakes, he would just smile and let it go. But whenever something went wrong while I was working with people from other departments, he only dared to yell at me. Sometimes the general manager's son would ask me to do something, and when I felt it was inappropriate and discussed it with my supervisor, he would say it was fine. When something actually went wrong in the end, the supervisor would only yell at me. Even after I explained the situation, he continued yelling at me. During my time there, there was a sales assistant who loved flattering people and was very good at currying favor with the supervisors. He was also very fond of bossing around junior sales staff, but whenever he made a mistake, he never dared admit it. Even when the supervisor noticed, he would only say that he had been too kind. Whatever that sales assistant said, the supervisor believed, and he would not listen to what I said. Many colleagues had been thrown under the bus by him. I could not stand this environment anymore, so I ended my six-month sales career! My supervisor's sales ability was first-rate, but his management ability was third-rate. I heard from HR that only one person had stayed under him for more than a year. The supervisor was not afraid of subordinates resigning because their work would simply fall to other colleagues; he only had to do his own job. It is also possible that I was treated this way because he did not like me. If I had been like that sycophantic sales assistant, perhaps I could have gotten along better, but I simply cannot learn to be that way! After deductions for meals and labor and health insurance, my take-home pay was less than NT$30,000. During my time there, 15 office colleagues resigned, but the company did not care! As long as the people who performed well were still with the company, all the other employees were treated as disposable chopsticks.

Conclusion: This company is only suitable for people who flatter others and know how to curry favor. If you want to accumulate sales experience, you can still stay; I also learned a lot. But I truly could not endure it physically, mentally, and emotionally. The supervisor was too difficult to deal with and also liked to point at me and yell. If I could choose again, I absolutely would not choose this company!
