The office is still fairly new.
The colleagues are okay too; there is no office politics or cliques.
The working hours are normal: 9:30–18:30. There are no flexible working hours, and being one minute late results in a one-dollar deduction.
Overtime can be reported, but the after-tax overtime pay is pitifully low.
The employee turnover rate is high. During my first two months, at least five people came and went.
The boss really likes holding meetings, and we spend all our working hours in meetings.
Meetings often end without any conclusions, and their content is highly repetitive.
They are extremely time-consuming, causing me to work overtime to finish my own tasks.
The same job posting on 104 is always open because the boss has a habit of dismissing employees after only a few months and then looking for new ones.
The average employee tenure is less than one year.
I sincerely recommend that if you have other job opportunities, do not come to this company.
The company does not seem to have much future potential. It is currently transitioning toward word-of-mouth marketing rather than developing as a professional audiovisual media company.
This company is C Channel_魅客數位科技股份有限公司 (formerly: 魅客國際行銷)
C Channel_魅客數位科技股份有限公司 (formerly: 魅客國際行銷)
The boss is one of the former partners of FG (they kept introducing him to everyone when I joined the company), but I had never heard of this at all. It was probably something that was very popular in the past.
The company focuses on short-form videos, but its videos all have very low view counts.
It also does not come up with much original content.
It mainly collaborates with influencers, with influencers filming the videos, or adds subtitles to videos from overseas.
The boss has received quite a few awards, but as for his actual work capabilities, as mentioned in the reviews below, everyone can judge for themselves.
The company is very small, its systems are chaotic, its benefits are poor, and it lacks foresight, but it may still be worth considering for people who want a challenge.
The company has offices in Taichung and Taipei, but there is not much interaction between them. You can check the introduction on 104, but it only talks about past achievements.
The boss is 張倫維 (Allen Chang).
The company is <Asia's largest women's video platform, C Channel>.
I hope this can help all you workplace wage slaves avoid the pitfalls.
(I discovered that this company hadn’t been updated.)
I hope my good deed can help those of you who are currently wondering whether to join this company.
But if you can accept everything below, feel free to give it a try!
1. Not long after you join, the coworkers will have changed one group after another (⮕ suitable for E-types)
2. The boss often holds lengthy meetings with no conclusions (⮕ suitable for people with clear logic)
3. The boss likes to hold meetings early in the morning. For example, if work starts at 9:00, the meeting will start at exactly 9:00 :) (⮕ suitable for punctual people)
4. The boss often forgets what they have said, constantly saying something and then forgetting it, forgetting it and then saying it again, over and over (back to point 2)
5. The boss does not respect employees’ break time, often holding meetings during lunch, sending messages at night, or calling on holidays to discuss “important” matters that are not actually very important (⮕ suitable for people with “no personal life”)
6. You can’t poop in the company restroom 💩 (⮕ suitable for people who are “constipated and don’t need to use the restroom”)
7. The boss requires employees to arrive on time; being one minute late results in a pay deduction. They constantly remind employees that “coming in early to work and working overtime at night” is what a good employee does (⮕ suitable for people with a “masochistic constitution or who live in the old days”)
8. The boss loves making grand promises (⮕ suitable for people who “like to dream”)
9. The boss may unintentionally drive a wedge between departments, saying that Employee A is not diligent while Employee B is wonderful (⮕ suitable for people who “want to be praised”)
10. The boss may invent things out of thin air or fabricate untrue stories, or go back on promises they have made (back to point 4, because the boss has too many things to remember and forgets what they have said) (⮕ suitable for people who “love stories”)
11. The calendar is always fully booked, but meeting times are also frequently changed back and forth, so you never know which day a meeting will actually take place (⮕ suitable for people who “like change”)
12. The boss’s persona is that of a “nice guy,” with extensive connections in the industry, but in reality... (back to point 8)
13. They claim to lead the digital trend, but their various ideas and practices are extremely old-fashioned (⮕ suitable for people who are “nostalgic”)
14. The benefits are poor. At Mid-Autumn Festival, you only receive one mooncake; after pushing for more, we got two (⮕ suitable for people who “want to lose weight”)
For some reason, it is very difficult to find reviews of this company.
To everyone in the workplace, I hope you will open your eyes and think carefully about whether you want to invest your life here.
Because the company name is very similar to other names and I’m worried people might get confused, this is the one at 6F, No. 5x, Dongx Road, Taipei City.
None
This kind of company should disappear from society
1. You can learn how to give unconditionally to the company.
2. The colleagues are nice.
3. You can wear slippers to work and treat the company like your own home.
4. If you want a company where it’s really easy to get an involuntary separation and severance pay, this company is definitely the top choice. Although you can’t afford to buy anything, they are very generous with severance pay and involuntary separation.
The boss’s mind works in truly amazing ways. Today, he says we’re going to do it in black, and the process and plans are all drafted. The next day, he immediately says we’re going to do it in white, then insists on changing everything to white and scraps the entire project. Even more amazing, after you spend a month redoing everything, he says he wants it in black again. Haha, didn’t see that coming, did you?
The deadlines the boss gives are also truly amazing. Today, he gives you a week to finish something, and the next day he’ll ask whether it’s done yet. He thinks you should be working hard and striving together with the company, so the very next day he’ll expect you to rush something out (but even if you finish it, he’ll still have plenty of opinions).
The boss has very ambitious ideas about financial planning. There’s barely any money in the account, but we still have to review the cash flow statement every week, and he also wants financial planning. With that little money, what exactly is there to plan? XDD.
The boss also has many very special ideas, so don’t bother thinking you can communicate with him. The opinions of us ignorant commoners will not be adopted.
The boss cares a great deal about employees’ sixth-sense training abilities. Employees often need to use their psychic powers, so don’t expect the boss to clearly tell you what he wants. With this kind of thing, you have to be self-reliant.
Keeping the office clean depends on everyone.
The boss likes organizing team-building activities without spending any money, but requires everyone to participate; otherwise, you’ll be blacklisted.
By the way, don’t even think about benefits or anything like that. Every year, the boss has to come up with an excuse for not giving a year-end bonus. If no year-end bonus is paid, it’s always the employees’ fault!
*Suitable for those who enjoy tormenting themselves at work.
*Able to accept arbitrary layoffs or job transfers by the company
*A workplace life where your professional expertise is not respected
*Enjoy listening to the boss share strange knowledge
All they do is blame the sales team every day for being unable to sell. After some time, they want to replace one batch of sales staff, laying off the current group.
The boss frequently makes emotional remarks and subjects employees to an endless cycle of meetings. You may be scheduled for meetings all day, and when subordinates later say they are very busy with work, the boss first scrutinizes their daily work activities.
The boss likes people who will join him in dreaming. He also likes putting on a show, and likes taking photos to ride trends and raise his profile even more. However, he understands even less about running a business while pretending to understand, and has no respect for employees’ professional expertise.
In addition, he loves using storytelling and an extremely self-righteous attitude to lecture current employees.
Only after joining the company will you discover that he is essentially a stereotypical exploitative boss. After new employees join, one position typically requires them to handle two or three functions, and the content of their duties may also be changed arbitrarily.
The polished rhetoric is to tell you that he wants to challenge your limits. It is a textbook case of saying one thing and doing another, which is why employee turnover is extremely high.
They keep several job openings posted and invite a large number of people to interview, but often no one applies, or they change their minds after being hired.
Whether you are a graduate or a job applicant, it is recommended that you first observe the company’s openings for two or three months. These positions are perpetual vacancies.
I urge everyone to look more closely at what former employees have said about this company online, so you do not waste the precious years of your career at an unsuitable company.
Most colleagues are easy to get along with, and you can make good friends...
That's all.
[Think twice before joining]
Before you join, the boss will use polished words to make many aspects sound appealing. However, shortly after you officially start working at the company, you will discover that the actual job content is completely different from what was initially described, or that you may be transferred between departments arbitrarily.
[Promotion system]
The boss may give you a raise only if they like you, so you have to be completely obedient.
[Company culture]
Every day, from morning to night, you have to attend meetings with the boss on different topics, meetings after meetings, and meetings after those meetings... There is almost never a conclusion because the boss is unfocused, difficult to communicate with, and has poor comprehension, wasting employees' time and affecting work efficiency.
[Salary and benefits]
There are no bonuses for the three major holidays, there are hardly any benefits to speak of, and you should not expect too much from the year-end bonus.
[Company situation]
1. The employee turnover rate is extremely high.
2. Messages are often sent during sleeping hours at night, or employees are tagged in group chats. Sometimes the content is not important at all.
