Workplace reviews and discussion: 宏匠實業股份有限公司

Drinks are available for you to have, but they are all sugar-free.

There is coffee and matcha.

I work as the receptionist and switchboard operator. Besides handling calls and receiving customers and vendors—the usual receptionist and switchboard duties—I also have to make coffee for colleagues and microwave their lunch boxes.

The boss is very strange. He speaks without thinking and thinks he is very capable, smart, and perceptive. He makes sexually suggestive jokes to me, a new receptionist. When the boss is there, the workload is so overwhelming that it feels like it will explode: lots of vendors and clients come looking for him, there is a large amount of coffee and matcha to prepare, and there are also takeaway orders. They call this a reception desk, but it is actually more like a small convenience store, and you also need to know how to do latte art.

The main point: work starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 5:30 p.m.

You still cannot clock out punctually at 5:30, because the boss will think you have been waiting to leave early. He may even check your attendance records. If you clock out on time too often, you will not be considered for a raise.

The reception position is relatively better. The sales, administration, and R&D departments work overtime without overtime pay. They may receive larger year-end bonuses, but the extra amount is essentially overtime pay. Many people hold at least two positions concurrently.

If you just want to find a source of income for now, you could consider this place.

But if you have ambition and want to develop your career properly, don’t come here. Seriously.
