Workplace reviews and discussion: 台新金控_台新國際商業銀行股份有限公司

This is probably the most sophisticated part of how this system operates: there’s no need to directly deny you; all it takes is making you slowly doubt yourself

—and that’s enough.

Recently, I saw Education and Training King Jia X once again bring up the story of mentor Sol in a retrospective. The familiar routine is still the same

: first, re-editing the past into a glowing retrospective, then turning other people’s experiences into their own endorsement, and smoothly drawing out what appears to be a well-organized circle from their time at Taiwan Cooperative Bank. They call it passing on a legacy, but it looks more like precisely allocating resources

and benefits; they call it inspiration, but it is really just saying vague things in a way that makes everyone think they are talking about them.

At first, they give you a life jacket, making you feel that you are finally understood and seen; then they use incentive bonuses

to ignite expectations, making people think that as long as they follow the right rhythm, they can quickly turn their lives around. But once you truly commit, you gradually discover

that it is more like a beautifully packaged medicine pouch, covered with claims about its effects while downplaying its side effects.

What you should really look at is not these stories, but the details that are deliberately ignored—such as the records and totals of personal leave, official leave, and sick leave within a year. These cold numbers should be recorded alongside other people’s attendance and diligence;

they are more honest than any moving narrative. Yet when you raise these questions, you are often guided into believing that your understanding is flawed,

and you may even begin to wonder whether you simply are not working hard enough or are not committed enough.

The overall atmosphere is like riding a YouBike to watch a game between the Wei Chuan Dragons and the CTBC Brothers. The Wei Chuan Dragons are gradually adjusting their pace during a rebuilding process, while the CTBC Brothers and Shin Kong are finding new approaches amid change; by contrast, this place feels like a team still trapped in old tactics, with sluggish pacing, a stifling atmosphere, and an indescribable air of lifelessness throughout.

Jia X’s methods are consistent: announcing the vision by tagging people in group chats at night without notice, while vacation time is endlessly eroded; they call it cultivation, but it looks more like testing obedience. Promotions are slow, administrative procedures are lengthy with no sign of improvement, and work is unevenly distributed, yet everything is expected to be completed within unreasonable time frames. From Xing Ju Dian, Xiao Long Food, and Tainan noodles,

to Liu Mama Cold Noodles, Liu Family Cold Noodles, Dongyin Quick Swordsman, Wuki Stone Hot Pot, and Wanfang Ice Room, it may look on the surface like concern for people’s lives and an effort to build closeness, but in practice it feels more like keeping people tightly bound to the same rhythm, until even their space to breathe is completely consumed.

When you try to advocate for a reasonable pace, you are instead labeled. Over time, many people are not persuaded but worn down. Eventually, even their most basic judgment begins to waver, and they may even attribute the problem to themselves.
