Workplace reviews and discussion: 中興電工機械股份有限公司

None

The supervisor and colleagues were okay, I guess, but the job description on the employment website differed significantly and was very complicated. I handled fund allocation, and all I can say is that it was extremely demanding. I was taught the work for six days and then left to figure things out on my own; after that, there was really no follow-up at all. When something went wrong, they would say, “I was only filling in. Once you arrived, I stopped keeping track. You need to remember the dates.”

The company would also use spare cash to purchase short-term bills just for the small amount of interest. I did not really understand the purpose of this. I had never done related work before, so perhaps I simply did not understand the rules—or maybe this is normal. Also, during the interview, I mentioned that I had left my previous job because of overtime. The supervisor said that this position did not involve much overtime, although there might occasionally be some at the end of the month. However, I started in the middle of the month, and in reality, apart from the supervisor leaving very early, everyone else was still at their desks; they would even steam lunch boxes for dinner.

As for the work itself, perhaps I am not a genius either, but I could not adapt to being taught one thing at a time without everything being explained at once. Just when I thought everything was finished, a follow-up procedure would suddenly appear a few days later. You also need to be very clear about the payments and amounts for each company. In short, I feel that you need to have a very clear mind for this job, especially since everyone is very busy and it is difficult to ask questions.
