I work in the production department. Things were fairly good at first, and the senior staff carefully taught us quite a few relevant skills and areas of knowledge. However, due to management issues, the plant was later relocated elsewhere, and that was when the problems started to multiply. One ridiculous mess after another followed: when the plant’s wastewater system broke down and we couldn’t use the water, we had to go back to the original plant to wash things; waste oil had to be scooped up, tied into individual bags with garbage bags, frozen, and then discarded—and anything that hadn’t frozen into a solid block couldn’t be thrown away; when the sludge tank in the wastewater system was full, it had to be bagged up and discarded again, but we were expected to stop halfway through processing ingredients to deal with it. Even after the day’s schedule was finished, and when it was almost time to get off work, supervisors would ask us to do all kinds of pointless tasks, such as scrubbing the drainage ditches or helping the warehouse department receive deliveries. When there was still a pile of work left on the day’s schedule, supervisors would ask us to make experimental samples unrelated to the schedule first, then let it drag on and complain about how it could take so long. On top of that, the administration department kept changing the shipping schedule, and even though we followed it, the supervisor still yelled at us for no reason. There are plenty of other ridiculous things like this. And let me complain about one more thing: I joined in the first place because I heard salaries were increased quickly here, but it’s been nearly one to two years and I still haven’t received a raise. They said my salary would be adjusted after one year, but apart from the NT$1,000 increase when I moved from probationary to permanent status, I haven’t gotten a damn thing. I’ve asked my supervisor for an answer, but there’s still no answer to this day…
