Workplace reviews and discussion: 益銓股份有限公司

1. Because of the poor location and the company's old facilities, those who do not mind these things can expect a slightly higher salary.

2. The boss's caliber determines the company's ceiling. People with lower abilities can come here to make a living.

3. It does not matter if you are incapable of producing anything; as long as you have a good relationship with the boss, that is enough. Performance is not considered much.

4. If you happen to have a good supervisor, you may be able to last a little longer.

As mentioned above, the boss, who is well over seventy, has very strange ideas.

Management

1. The company has unwritten rules: no matter how much annual leave you have, you cannot take more than twelve days. Any remaining annual leave is paid out at the minimum wage, far below a day's wages. Often, annual leave requires the boss's approval; if it is not approved, you cannot take it.

2. The company's focus is in China, and it is more like a Chinese company. Taiwanese employees have to accommodate the China branch, and the product quality is the same. Perhaps because of this, the company can lay off Chinese employees without paying severance, and employees cannot sue the boss in Taiwan.

3. Overtime is rare, but if the boss requires overtime and you cannot work it, you may be forced to resign.

4. When the company toilet broke, they did not call anyone to repair it. They posted a signed notice prohibiting its use, and only came to their senses after more than a month.

5. The company's water tank once broke, and a pigeon died inside it. When it was discovered, the bloated carcass was as large as an ostrich. Everyone had been drinking the water.

6. The boss acts according to his mood; policies and orders can have several different versions within a single day.

7. Water outages, power outages, and flooding occur very frequently.

8. Work is distributed unfairly.

9. There are an absurd number of cameras. Every space except the restrooms can be seen, and at one point there were even cameras in the break room.

10. The company once underwent renovations. The entire floor was covered in dust and contained equipment that had not yet been installed, yet the boss, completely unaware of the situation, forcibly required the existing employees to return to their workstations. The employees had no choice but to clean everything up properly, only for the renovation workers to be dumbfounded: to complete the renovations, the existing employees had to move out again and then move back once more. Although he is the boss, he thinks management is the employees' responsibility; he only needs to spend money and watch people through surveillance cameras.

11. If the boss is unhappy with a document he personally signed, he will claim he never signed it, or even say that someone forged it. The same applies to things he has said. You may need to use recordings to deal with the boss.

12. When recruiting, the company advertises a high salary, then uses various excuses to reduce it, such as deducting the year-end bonus. The boss does not clearly understand the boundaries of the job responsibilities, is completely out of touch when discussing various matters, has absolutely no understanding of the problems encountered in how society operates or of a normal organizational structure, and answers questions about A with answers about B.

13. Some senior managers deliberately make things difficult for their subordinates. They intentionally give terrible methods; if you follow them, you get called an idiot, even though they themselves cannot do it. They simply use their power to display their sense of superiority.

14. Several long-term employees who had worked there for more than a decade were forced to resign after being casually lectured by a newcomer in front of the boss, and that newcomer did not advance either. It was not a matter of ability; the boss simply favors the new and dislikes the old.

15. The next generation, the boss's wife, and the boss often have differing opinions. They can easily determine whether employees stay or leave, spread rumors, or even create divisions between departments.

16. There are almost no employees aged 20–30, and few employees aged 30–40 either. It feels like they resent the younger generation.
