Workplace reviews and discussion: 松協企業股份有限公司

The company is considered to offer relatively good salaries in the Luzhu area (but only slightly better). The office is spacious, but has no windows facing outside.

A quintessential traditional industry and family-run business.

It does not comply with the Labor Standards Act. I heard there were labor disputes in the past, and that employees' labor and health insurance salaries were underreported. However, the company did not learn from this; instead, it found more ways to split up employees' compensation, making it difficult for employees to provide evidence. Annual leave is calculated incorrectly and does not comply with the Labor Standards Act. If you ask the senior long-timer responsible for calculating leave, they will only tell you that this is how the company calculates it and that these are the company rules—and may angrily lash out when challenged. When customers visit, or for other reasons, the company will also make “soft” requests that employees not take leave during certain periods. If you want to take leave, you have to explain the reason to your supervisor.

During the interview, pay attention to the department manager. Some will directly tell applicants that salaries are reported at a lower amount for insurance purposes; some will not, and some employees are only told on their first day.

The second-generation owner has a completely spoiled-prince personality and is very sensitive, requiring constant affirmation from employees. He will ask employees, “Who is the most professional person who can make decisions?”

He is highly emotional and cannot control himself; randomly spewing anger is the norm.

The company uses Jira to manage projects, but the boss treats it as a daily report and requires employees to update it constantly.

There are many senior long-timers within the company who refuse to embrace progress and do not use the ERP system, so other relevant personnel have to accommodate them by using paper documents.

The culture throughout the company is extremely subservient—to customers and to the boss.

There is an employee cafeteria, but the food is very oily and salty.

There are extremely ugly employee uniforms made of very poor-quality material. Non-production-line employees must wear them two days a week, while production-line employees must wear them every day.
