Workplace reviews and discussion: 紐頓電子有限公司

1. You can sleep until you naturally wake up; work starts at 11:00, and working hours are 11:00–20:30.

2. Close to the MRT station.

3. There are hardly any smokers.

1. Seven days off per month. If there are 10 public holidays in a given month, you may still only get 8 days off, while your salary remains the same as in other months.

2. If a typhoon day falls on a scheduled day off, you have to take leave or use annual leave.

3. If you don’t use all your annual leave, you need to exchange it for cash, and you’ll find that your salary is lower on payday—just a dream, purely imagined.

4. One part of the salary structure is a bonus, and the boss can deduct it however they want.

5. The three seasonal gift payments are really small—negligible, in fact. You can treat them as a joke when talking with friends.

6. Salary does not increase with seniority; it mainly depends on performance. Due to the salary structure, you may face multiple pay cuts. Your past efforts will not be recognized, and your salary will be affected by the broader environment—purely imagined, of course.

7. During the Lunar New Year, not all public holidays are days off. The company resumes work early, and you shouldn’t expect a return-to-work bonus.

8. Working at a convenience store pays a higher starting salary than this job.

9. After many people submit their resignations, the salary they receive for their final month is lower than usual. I don’t know whether this is standard practice.
