Most commutes to and from work are on time.

Work-related LINE messages still come in during lunch breaks or after work, and basically there is no way to claim overtime.

The female HR manager likes to pretend to be friendly and chatty, but when asked about actual procedures or labor law issues, she often cannot answer or offer solutions. She also frequently uses misleading rhetoric on new employees, saying that doing more means learning more. She even finds excuses to pass tasks she cannot do, does not understand, or does not want to do on to new employees. However, when there is credit to take, she is always first in line; when something goes wrong on her watch, she shifts the blame to subordinates or others. She often procrastinates, compressing the time available for other people to complete their work, and is also very good at pushing tasks onto others. She is only afraid of people who are assertive or who understand the law and insist on arguing their case based on facts.

The internal employee turnover rate is high, and most employees have very short tenures. Work procedures often lack SOPs, and handovers are not thorough. Even when asking the person who previously handled the work and was supposed to hand it over, you still cannot get an answer; they act as if it is only natural that you should figure everything out yourself. Asking other people who have handled the work will often result in answers such as: “I’m not sure,” “I don’t know,” or “I learned it myself and figured it out on my own.” Some people also bully new employees by pushing tasks onto them, shirking responsibility, or speaking harshly to them.

Only after joining did I learn that the so-called benefits were actually very limited. During the interview, I asked about the three traditional holiday benefits, but the female HR manager only gave a vague, evasive answer, saying that they increase or decrease depending on revenue and may consist of gift certificates or gifts, without being able or willing to clearly state a specific amount. Only after joining did I find out that there were actually just small Mom’s Touch company gift certificates, and that the amount received is further divided according to length of employment. The gifts in the year-end raffle are also company products.

Finally, all the thoughts in my heart can be summed up in one sentence: If I had come earlier to read the comments from former employees on Tianyancha, I probably would never have considered joining this company at all.
