Workplace reviews and discussion: 增誠科技有限公司

Chiayi Department: Work starts at 06:30, but new employees are usually required to arrive at the company at 06:00, meaning the company squeezes an extra 30 minutes out of them every day.

The three annual holiday bonuses are only paid in full after one year of service, and the turnover rate is extremely high.

Every day, you go to different plant sites to calibrate transmitters, and you need to bring calibration gas to do so.

You calibrate at Formosa Plastics plant sites every day, exposing yourself to carcinogens in the air and working long-term in a carcinogenic environment.

This job requires carrying the plant-issued safety equipment. Basically, even if a newcomer accompanies a veteran to the plant, the veteran will ignore you. There are many colleagues who abuse their seniority and are terrible to work with.

Many people inside like to distort right and wrong, talk nonsense, and spread rumors. There are all kinds of strange people there—you have to experience it yourself.

Many transmitters at the plant sites are malfunctioning and almost always send false signals. It is a company that fabricates things simply for the sake of fabricating them.

The basic equipment—walkie-talkies and hand tools—is incomplete, with items constantly missing.

The office staff lack professionalism and often fail to open the work orders, leaving you unable to enter the plant site when you arrive. You often have to return to the company and key in reports as well.

No newcomer can stay for long. The place is already almost completely rotten. Many people cannot even use a basic multimeter, and all the talented employees have left.

Upper management does not grant the on-site managers the authority they should have, while a bunch of long-serving employees interfere in many matters.

High pressure, long hours, and low pay.
