Workplace reviews and discussion: 台灣晟龍國際科技有限公司

None

Various violations:

1. No employment contract was provided.

2. Overtime pay was not calculated accurately. Working hours were fixed from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day, with regular overtime, and employees were also required to work on Saturdays. During peak shipping seasons, overtime until 7 or 8 p.m. was also unpaid. Employees took turns serving as the weekly duty person; lunch breaks could not be taken, and there was no overtime pay or compensatory leave.

3. The labor and health insurance salary brackets were underreported or reported incorrectly. Salary increases were not added to the base salary, so the insurance salary bracket was not adjusted either. The employee-paid portion might also be calculated incorrectly, causing more money to be deducted than required under the correct bracket. Pay slips were confusing, with labor and health insurance not itemized separately, apparently for opportunistic purposes.

No benefits at all:

1. Most stationery had to be provided by employees themselves. Toilet paper was rationed.

2. Essentially no holiday bonuses, opening-of-business bonuses, year-end party, or spring banquet. The year-end bonus was approximately a few thousand dollars, depending on individual seniority.

3. The air conditioning was not kept on regularly in summer: it was turned on at 10 a.m. or later and shut off at 3 p.m. There were many mosquitoes in the office, and it was stuffy and hot. Someone suffered heatstroke.

1. A family-owned business with no internal promotion opportunities. The boss/manager had emotional issues, and in group chats they used abusive and humiliating language, spammed messages, and verbally attacked people. There were cameras everywhere, disregarding employees’ privacy.

2. They would teach you to lie to customers to exchange products. Customer service was also handled very poorly, and the products were dirty and disorganized, with no proper cleaning or organization. They did not respect professional roles: whether you worked in clerical administration, as an in-house employee, or in graphic design, everyone was told to help pack orders.

3. The company had two locations, one on the fifth floor and the other in a B1 basement. Both had extremely poor environments: dirty, disorganized, stuffy, and hot.

4. Senior employees acted superior and had emotional issues, abusing their authority for personal benefit (the duty roster was not assigned according to the established order; they always ended up on duty during long weekends, apparently thinking no one would notice). They crossed professional-ethics boundaries; even non-supervisory employees verbally abused newcomers. They formed cliques but could not stand seeing other new employees make plans to eat or chat together. They gossiped, spread rumors, and even physically assaulted people.
