Workplace reviews and discussion: 和英文化事業有限公司

The psychological manipulation tactics of the person in charge, Ms. Chou, are second to none.

1. After directly infringing copyright, the publisher harassed the elderly parents at the collaborators’ hometowns across county and city boundaries.

2. Flooded all communication systems for several days (simultaneous bombardment via email, phone calls, and text messages).

3. Manipulated search results.

4. Sent “text squid warfare” emails.

* I am an author and illustrator who collaborated with Ho Ying Publishing.

* I handled the contract expiration entirely lawfully and, despite the infringement, voluntarily granted a 10-month-and-20-day grace period.

* I have never requested compensation, nor accepted any subsequent settlement proposal.

All of the statements above are supported by complete screenshots as evidence.

The entire chain of evidence of illegal acts by Ho Ying Cultural Enterprise Co., Ltd., from the period of collaboration through lawful contract termination, is backed up in multiple locations,

and entrusted to professionals for preservation.

* The public disclosure of the evidence is intended to protect the public interest.

Note: All historical public screenshots retained in the archive preserve the original electronic files and contain complete timestamps.
