Workplace reviews and discussion: 富甲工業股份有限公司

Pros

First, let me copy this for you.

1. Employees with at least three years of seniority (regardless of rank or position) who rank first in performance evaluations may qualify for a million-dollar car purchase subsidy bonus (two recipients per year).

2. Annual overseas (or domestic) travel activities: the employee’s own tour fee is completely free (subsidies are available for accompanying family members/partners): 2023 Pattaya, Thailand; 2022 Little Liuqiu, Pingtung; 2019 Matsu Islands; 2018 Seoul, South Korea; 2017–2016 Sabah, Malaysia; 2014 Tokyo, Japan; 2013 Huangshan, Anhui; 2012 Beijing’s Forbidden City; 2011 Singapore; 2010 Shanghai World Expo; 2007 Angkor Wat, Cambodia; 2006 Palau; 2005 Kyushu, Japan……

3. Year-end banquet combined with one- to two-day domestic employee outings (free participation for accompanying family members/partners): 2022 Sun Moon Lake, Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village + Puli, two days and one night; 2021 Lihpao Land; 2020 Sanxia Dabangen + Daxi; 2019 Taichung Flora Expo……

4. Annual outdoor sports, leisure, physical-fitness, and health activities (fully subsidized by the company: registration fees for road-running events): 2023 Far Eastern New Century Classic Marathon; 2022 Hsinchu City Marathon; 2022 Hukou Crown Road-Running Marathon; 2019 Far Eastern New Century Classic Marathon; 2017 Hsinchu Far Eastern New Century Marathon; 2016 Hsinchu City Marathon; 2015 Hsinchu Beipu–Baoshan Reservoir road run; 2015 Hsinchu Pofeng Cup cycling self-challenge and various other road-running events of all sizes.

5. Two-day weekends, five working days per week; overtime pay is reported and paid according to law, or employees may choose compensatory time off.

6. Year-end bonus, annual (mid-year) performance profit-sharing bonus, May 1 and Dragon Boat Festival holiday cash gifts, and Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.

7. Employee lunch subsidies, plus fully free overtime dinners and meal subsidies for working overtime on holidays.

8. Free annual regular health checkups for employees.

9. Six company vehicles are provided for field employees to use.

1. Outstanding employees? The boss has the final say. There are many elderly primates who have stayed there for a long time; forget it if you’re a newbie. During the interview, remember to ask whether anyone has received the subsidy after only three years.

2–3. Employee trips—呵呵.

4. The boss loves road running, so he wants you to run with him. It’s just unclear whether Hsinchu County Government would compensate him if he ran away, tripped, and landed flat on his face.

5. The boss loves you working overtime—preferably the long-term-care type. He will absolutely adore you. (Looking at the company from Huanbei 3rd Road, with its magnificent and elegant architecture and European-style greenway beside it, I thought it was a wonderful, upscale nursing home. Bravo, applause.)

6. Remember to ask clearly during the interview how the bonuses are calculated.

7. I thought nursing homes all provided free meals. I wonder whether dinner at a buffet would be fully subsidized.

8. It’s just a health checkup; newbies have to take a day off on a holiday to go.

9. I didn’t know having so many company vehicles could also be listed as an advantage.

It has no disadvantages, only countless advantages.

1. The basement parking lot is insanely huge, but only the boss’s car and the boss’s wife’s big G can park there. Employees park on the roadside, so remember to park carefully and fill every available spot, thanks.

2. The office environment is excellent—superficial appearances, thanks. It looks nice in front, but behind the scenes it’s XXX.

3. The Hakka spirit is expressed wonderfully and to the extreme: diligent, frugal, and good at managing the household. Give five cents, get one dollar; ask for one pen refill, get three; ask for an eraser, get half a piece.

4. Good-looking, clean toilets. Would an ancient emperor use the same toilet as the common people?

5. The leader is clear-headed and articulate. One sentence: “What is he talking about?” (During the seventh lunar month, it’s easy to hear X talking.)

6. The leader is learned and inquisitive. The Nobel Prizes in Literature, Natural Sciences, and Medicine all owe him a trophy. He knows everything from astronomy to geography, talking from outer space to the inner XX.

A kind reminder

1. Under no circumstances should you tell him that you have thoroughly studied every provision of the Labor Standards Act, workers’ rights, and salary-calculation methods. Otherwise, he will definitely mark you down.

2. The boss loves people with lofty ambitions, who can help realize his grand ideal (becoming a qualified supplier to TSMC).

P.S. The toilet-paper supplier should be the greatest of all, because it can serve every TSMC employee.

3. First, look at what kinds of cars are parked along the surrounding streets. That will probably tell you what kind of market rate the boss is offering.

In a dream, Mazu appeared and told me: if you want to know whether this company’s boss pays well, look at what cars the employees drive and how many of them own their homes—you’ll know. Mazu kindly reminds you~

Cons

Not the slightest bit.
