Workplace reviews and discussion: 民生福祉股份有限公司

The only advantage is getting to see the dogs and cats.

There is not much sense of accomplishment working here—only endless frustration and disappointment.

Why are they always hiring? Actually, it’s impossible that this kind of job can never find anyone. To put it bluntly, there’s something wrong with the company!

1. The boss is a typical businessman. He has no understanding of the actual working conditions and speaks very vaguely, never giving clear answers. When something goes wrong, he certainly won’t stand up for the employees. If there’s any way to deduct money, he absolutely will, because he is extremely stingy.

The job responsibilities cover far too much—far, far too much! When you take on extra work, at first they brush you off by saying you’ll definitely get extra pay, without saying how much. You only find out when you get paid that it’s a small subsidy of a hundred dollars. That’s not even enough to buy a boxed meal! Are we living in ancient times?

Overtime pay has to be applied for in advance. How are you supposed to know whether you’ll be working overtime that day??? Then they ask colleagues to sign up for “voluntary” overtime… Just wonderful!

The biggest problem is that people are not managed properly; those who slack off still happily collect their pay.

They bully the newest newcomers, and even require you to sign a confidentiality agreement when you resign. They’re clearly afraid of being exposed.

2. You work at a government agency but receive outsourced-worker wages. Don’t even get me started on the benefits—everything is as shady as it can be! You have to deal with three types of supervisors: 1. the boss who pays your wages, 2. civil servants, and 3. volunteers. The work is extremely constrained and inefficient, with people scheming against one another all day. When something goes wrong, they simply push it onto the outsourced staff to take the blame. Civil servants are judged by performance, so of course they can’t be the ones held responsible.

3. Working here is already difficult enough, and you still have to deal with the volunteers’ moods; they may even use emotional manipulation! Do more, and it’s considered expected (because you receive a salary). Do less, and they’ll report it to their superiors or even post maliciously written articles online to attack you.

4. There are too many unreasonable people—if they’re unhappy about one thing, they file a complaint. Regardless of whether the content is true, you still have to undergo a review. That’s the tragedy of working for the government.

If you’re planning to come for an interview, please think twice, because it really is a murky mess here~
