Workplace reviews and discussion: 精誠資訊股份有限公司

Sincere advice: First, get the management culture, compensation system, work assignments, and grievance mechanism in order. Don’t keep pushing the responsibility onto frontline staff, don’t take employees’ patience for granted, and don’t assume that replacing them with another group of young people will solve the problem. Young people looking for jobs should be sure to evaluate their options from multiple angles and not be misled by the polished rhetoric used during interviews. If a job makes you feel every day as though you’re playing a real-life survival game, while also hopping across squares and dodging paintballs, perhaps you should seriously consider whether such an environment is truly worth your time and youth. 😮‍💨

Engineering projects taken on under the name of this company by X帆公司的 HR Lynn are in fact passed through multiple layers of outsourcing, often leaving engineers as the lowest-level group with the least say. The disputes over overtime pay, work assignments, and responsibility are truly endless. Not to mention that the business team often sends over drafts just before the end of the workday and still demands completion that same day, as if engineers’ personal time were completely worthless. 😮‍💨

As for the management culture, the tendency to shirk responsibility, find scapegoats, and maintain only superficial harmony is exhausting. Colleagues may appear friendly with one another, but in reality, because of a culture of whispering and the pressure to assign blame, many people generally avoid trouble and protect themselves. At critical moments, some people choose to pass the blame, while others pretend they know nothing. Even if you have helped the department or team before, or even cleaned up a colleague’s mess, when you are implicated by the boss, that person may still turn around and attack you without hesitation. This kind of fake-colleague culture truly makes it difficult to trust anyone easily. 🙂

During the interview, the agreed terms were a monthly salary, but it ended up being temporary-worker pay. When I was transferred to a branch, the supervisor said my seniority would continue to count and would not be recalculated. However, after I arrived at the branch, my seniority was recalculated. For the same overtime work, experienced employees could add overtime hours and receive compensatory leave, while newcomers could do neither. The supervisor ran everything as a one-person dictatorship; no questions were allowed, and the supervisor would also emotionally manipulate employees.

Even the interview alone may make people feel that certain individuals are merely putting on a “real-life” performance: talking about cooperation on the surface while constantly probing and nitpicking, doing everything possible to shirk responsibility and exploit others. If someone is focused only on scheming and shifting blame during an interview, they are probably not suitable for working with others either. Even more ironically, the company seems to regard employees as disposable, preferring to recruit recent graduates or people with limited work experience while refusing to make a real effort to retain experienced staff. They neither understand the value of asking those with more experience for guidance nor are willing to acknowledge the worth of veteran employees. They only want to replace them with a fresh batch of obedient “strawberries,” without even looking at the lousy benefits they offer, yet still expect people to hand over their fresh livers! 🤬

Even worse is the internal management and grievance culture. When HR Lynn handles complaints, people often feel they have to respond repeatedly and run themselves ragged, while the incident may also be described vaguely. They say, “It will be kept confidential,” and “No one will know it was you,” but once the investigation begins, the people involved may quickly find out what happened. In the end, so-called anonymity is only limited anonymity. As a result, the problem may not improve at all and may instead place even more pressure on the complainant, who may even worry about retaliation. 😐
