Workplace reviews and discussion: 前進國際股份有限公司

Ever since insourcing was outsourced here, ethics have started being pushed downward.

HR Lin✠瀅 (Lynn):

It’s very simple: Company S places great importance on talent. You’re thinking about it the wrong way.

You should be flexible. Because the client’s requirements keep changing, that’s why the work is handed to outsourcing,

so you should take on even more responsibility. That way, you’ll experience the so-called fulfillment of self-achievement.

New hire: But both the work and the responsibility are dumped on outsourcing, and I’m still the one responsible if something goes wrong?

HR Lin✠瀅 (Lynn): There’s insurance for everything, and the company’s systems are very comprehensive.

Li✠毓 (Stanley): Remember, if the server doesn’t come up, say first that it’s an environment issue;

if it starts and then stops shortly afterward, generate it for the client first, send it even if the parameters are entered randomly, and fix it later.

New hire: Isn’t that dangerous?

Xu✠龍: Don’t ask too many questions. The veterans don’t really teach you; they just tell you what to do,

like with the old cash-register system—figure it out and guess for yourself.

They only explain it once before evaluations; if you don’t know how, they’ll say you lack ability.

Li✠源 (James): Follow first in, first out, and you may still be accused of putting things away randomly;

make one typo, and your supervisor can lecture you for half an hour. Holidays are made up without extra pay,

and on weekdays it’s a system of responsibility-based employment; they won’t tell you that during the interview.

Li✠毓 (Stanley): When something goes wrong, the rookie takes the blame, and we’re safe.

It’s either that they’re Zhuge Liang, hiding their abilities, or that they’re covered in wounds.

HR Lin✠瀅 (Lynn): Don’t overthink it. Everyone grows this way.

Later, there may even be opportunities to travel to Japan or Jeju Island, and the company also organizes activities.

New hire: Then where is the “steak”?

Li✠毓 (Stanley): Ha, that was just small talk;

what’s really waiting for you is “all-you-can-eat potstickers and a slap across the face.”

Xu✠龍: When there’s time, you also have to help the supervisor take photos and admire oil paintings,

and listen to a bunch of commands that sound like bird language, as if this were military science.

Li✠源 (James): Lunch is often just a single bread roll, and you work overtime until midnight.

Li✠毓 (Stanley): I see.

Li✠毓 (Stanley): Welcome aboard. The thing here most like a vampire bat

isn’t the system—it’s the people who pass responsibility down one layer at a time.
