recap 2025

1. The pressure from second-hand outsourced projects is intense, and a large portion of the year-end bonus was deducted.

HR Lynn is even more unscrupulous, and has learned to hide behind contact lenses.

Things were handed over to the client early, yet they waited a month before responding.

Every problem is blamed on you and you are required to work overtime; there is no overtime pay, and your pay may even be deducted.

It is like drifting at sea on a ship, where you can only tough it out, occasionally eating a red bean cake or biscuits bought from Le Jia Kang for comfort.

2. The moment you fail to meet a target, you have to write a review report as if you were writing an essay.

The new-hire mentor-apprentice system is very poor and depends on whether the mentor keeps their tricks hidden.

Management decisions are chaotic: today they say to go to the North Pole, tomorrow they say to go to the South Pole.

You need extremely strong survival and adaptability skills, and they even call it training.

There is no training, no training, no training. Be careful at these three companies—Wangzhi Digital, CTBC Bank, and HP—you can only drown like someone rafting.

3. The job requires signing a two-year contract; leaving early means paying a NT$60,000 penalty.

The company says it is reasonable because of the training, but in reality you have to handle everything from requirements interviews and planning through architecture design.

You also have to take over legacy systems with no documentation. The supervisor does not seem to understand them either, and there are only two colleagues.

The overall environment is like entering the battlefield with a pig-slaughtering knife without knowing what you are supposed to deal with.
