Workplace reviews and discussion: 泰詠電子股份有限公司

1. Paid personal leave

2. The vast majority of colleagues are pretty nice

3. The salary for inexperienced newcomers is fairly good

*The supervisor mentioned below refers to my supervisor at the time; I won't comment further on other departments.*

1. The fact that personal leave is paid instead gives supervisors more reasons to refuse your leave requests. If you don't have any annual leave yet, or have used it all up and want to take leave, you can only look at your supervisor's reaction. If things go badly, you might even be dismissed under the pretext of taking leave.

2. There is no overtime pay. The stated reason is that they hope everyone will complete their work efficiently and go home as soon as possible. In reality, leaving work on time is seen by supervisors as a sign that you are not working hard enough and have not fulfilled your role responsibilities, after which they use various reasons to increase your workload. (I heard that one department was even criticized by Supervisor R over its work attitude because it did not work overtime.)

3. Although the starting salary for fresh graduates is fairly good, some supervisors will deliberately lower your performance rating during the three major holiday performance evaluations, preventing you from receiving the full amount for all three holidays. So if you want to estimate your annual salary, just multiply your monthly salary by 12～

4. Although they recruit many people for positions requiring no experience, the company actually provides no training. Whether a veteran employee will guide you is like drawing lots; if, like me, you draw the worst lot, you have to figure everything out on your own from beginning to end, and of course you will inevitably get scolded along the way.

5. If your work produces good results, they say it is because the supervisor provided excellent guidance; if the work is not done well, it is all your fault. At times like this, the supervisor will only make sarcastic or abusive criticisms, saying you are completely useless, while actually being unable to offer even a single constructive suggestion.

6. As soon as you submit your resignation, your supervisor will go out of their way to make things difficult for you: not allowing you to take leave when you are sick with a high fever, saying that the handover you prepared is completely useless, badmouthing you extensively to other team members behind your back, and even trying to use all kinds of unscrupulous methods to withhold your salary.

There is really too much to say to finish it all. I can only say that before joining, when I saw online reviews, I thought that people who quit were naturally biased and it was difficult for them to say anything good about the company. It was only after I joined and then left that I realized everything said online was true.

I wish all the brave people who still want to give it a try won't be driven to physical and mental distress by their supervisors.
