Workplace reviews and discussion: 破銅爛鐵銀飾_比翼銀國際有限公司

No advantages at all…

I was a retail store employee.

Less than three days after joining the company, because they were short-staffed, they left a new employee who knew nothing to look after the store alone.

The company is very good at finding excuses to deduct employees’ pay.

If merchandise in the store malfunctions (even when it was absolutely not caused by the employee), merely discovering the issue is enough for them to charge it to you.

There is a NT$1,000 ear-piercing allowance for piercing ears.

But if the piercing gun malfunctions, even when it is not caused by human error, we still have to absorb the cost ourselves, and the NT$1,000 bonus is gone too.

After the performance-based pay system was changed, we could only receive a fixed salary.

It’s not that we weren’t working hard or taking responsibility.

The company deliberately set the threshold very high just to save on those bonuses.

Originally, it was normally possible to earn some performance bonuses.

But the boss changed the performance-based pay system to make more money.

There is a NT$2,000 allowance for the northern region.

It looks generous, but in reality, NT$1,000 is only paid if you meet the performance target.

The other NT$1,000 is only paid if you receive enough five-star reviews.

On top of that, you have to provide documentation to take menstrual leave.

Otherwise, they won’t let you take it. What, are we supposed to show them a used sanitary pad…?

Also, before resigning, we completed the handover. We took inventory of everything that needed to be counted and paid for anything that needed compensation. But nearly a month after leaving,

we unexpectedly received another deduction from the company. The reason was that they had found problematic merchandise after we left, and charged it to us (at that point, we had been gone for nearly a month).

Who knows whether the company itself damaged the merchandise? We were no longer even working at the store, yet they still charged this money to us. Isn’t that ridiculous?

You can’t even mark red dates on your annual leave request. Then what is the point of offering annual leave as a benefit to others?

I went back to collect my pay and asked a store employee (who was also one of the managers) why the money had been deducted. The store employee replied: “These defective items were found two days after you left.” They themselves admitted that it was after we had left… so how could they still deduct it from us? We had already been gone for almost a month. Talking to them was like talking to a brick wall. They answered questions with unrelated replies… It was impossible to get any answers, so in the end I could only ask the labor bureau to handle it and protect my rights!

In short,

if you have plenty of free time, a very good temper, enjoy being bullied, and like giving people money for them to deduct for no reason,

and you really don’t need the money, you can give it a try!

It really is a place that will open your eyes.
