Workplace reviews and discussion: 羽翼實業有限公司

1. Flexible working hours.

2. Comfortable work environment.

3. The boss, the boss’s wife, and the general manager are very approachable and do not put on airs.

4. The clock-in system is online and cloud-based, which is very convenient.

5. The salary is very high.

6. It is next to the Ximending shopping district, with lots of food options.

1. After the Lunar New Year, the boss’s personality changed. He became very difficult and nitpicky. Later, I discovered that the boss has a common habit: badmouthing others behind their backs and even exaggerating their faults. Simply put, he sows discord.

2. The company has had no revenue in its four years of operation. Since they are immigrating next month, the boss has started shirking his responsibilities and dumping many tasks on the general manager, making her play the bad cop.

(The general manager is Japanese and speaks Chinese. He has been in Taiwan for five years, but does not understand Taiwanese workplace culture or Taiwanese law. The boss dumps everything on him to handle. I feel sorry for him as a Japanese person.)

3. The company owes employees wages and then maliciously lays them off. Afterwards, it blocks the employees on LINE. Fortunately, the boss’s wife can still be reached, but she rarely reads or even responds to messages.

=> A mediation application has currently been submitted to the Labor Bureau.

4. The company has no systems in place and is severely understaffed.

5. An employee merely suggested temporarily suspending the writing of work reports, and the boss accused them of disobeying orders. He also threatened the employee, saying they would be punished for not respecting his orders.

6. After assigning work, the boss complains that employees have nothing to do. When employees do what falls within their responsibilities, such as developing clients, the boss then says they failed to report it to the company and made him extremely busy.

7. Meetings are called at the slightest pretext. The same matter can be discussed three times in one week. The meetings are also inefficient: no key points are covered, and everyone just listens to the boss reminisce about the past.

8. The boss frequently changes his instructions from one day to the next. He also contradicts himself about things he has said and often refuses to acknowledge what he said.

9. After laying off employees, the company still posts job openings on employment websites. Applicants should think carefully before applying. Moreover, they are moving to Malaysia next month, and the company currently has no employees at all.

10. Without the employees’ permission, the company insured their salaries under two separate companies. This constitutes fraud and forgery of documents.

(The boss has three companies under his name.)

11. The company has arbitrarily delayed salary payments without employees’ consent. As of now, employees have not received their February salaries or reimbursed expenses, and it is estimated that they will not receive their March salaries either. (The company owes two employees nearly NT$250,000 in total.) The company keeps telling employees that it has no money and is experiencing cash-flow problems, and has even asked whether their salaries can be paid in installments.
