The company will definitely require you to work overtime (6 days on, 1 day off), but the salary will be laughable.

The working hours and pay are vastly different from those outside; it’s about on the same level as foreign laborers.

If the NT$26,000 listed on the banner does not include overtime pay, then it basically isn’t even that amount.

Having to include overtime pay just to reach NT$20,000–30,000 is really laughable.

They really like hiring people, but the turnover rate is extremely high—worse than working part-time elsewhere.

None at all

At the time, I had just graduated and thought that, given how people called it the “stock king,” it might be a good place to work like a corporate drone, so I decided to give it a try. A banner had been hanging there forever advertising 26,000, with a schedule of two days on and two days off. The HR desk was set up in the parking lot, which I found a bit absurd. I later learned why: the turnover was extremely high, hahaha.

In reality, after joining, the system semi-forced you to work three days on and one day off. Once you had made your schedule, you could not change it. Why do I say “semi-forced”? Because as long as you worked 200 hours in a month, you could get an extra 4,000. That worked out to about 23.24 working days per month, so after doing the math, you figured you had to work at least over 200 hours for it to be worthwhile. But you had to schedule two or three extra days in case something suddenly came up. Otherwise, not only would you lose the 4,000 for falling short of the required hours, but your pay would also be deducted for taking leave—an enormous loss overall...

The internal management was extremely poor. They even timed how many minutes you spent in the restroom. At most, only two people could go to the restroom at a time; if that number had already been reached, you had to wait until someone came back before you could go.

During the shift, you were given two 10-minute breaks to drink water and use the restroom. You also finished 20 minutes late, which you had to give back to the company.

The only place in the entire factory where there were chairs you could sit on to rest was the cafeteria. Otherwise, you could only sit on the hallway floor. If you wanted to take a nap during the night shift, you had to sleep on the floor as well.

The senior employee responsible for training me worked a six-days-on, one-day-off schedule. By his fourth consecutive day, he would already start zoning out... the kind of person who would fall asleep halfway through work.

In the end, I only worked there for three months because the environment was too dirty. There were too many particles, causing recurring eye infections that made it impossible for me to work—I even had trouble keeping my eyes open—so I left hastily. But I think leaving was truly the best thing; this place really was no place for a human being to stay...

I really can't think of any.

I guess just having a job?

Long working hours: starting work at 7:50 a.m. and working until 10 p.m.; even on the earliest days, I still don't get off work until 8 p.m. That's how excessive the hours are.

The base salary is supplemented with position allowances and so on to reach the amount promised during the interview. If I remember correctly, overtime pay is calculated based on the minimum wage.

There is no life outside of work. I can barely finish everything by working half a day on Saturdays. Oh, right—I work in an administrative position.

There is a great deal of repetitive work, the kind where you start over again and again.

As for the average bonuses mentioned in the news, it's like saying that, on average, every parent has one testicle.

In short, stay away from Dali Jhen and cherish your life.

Long working hours; as long as you reach the required hours, you get paid.

The management system varies from person to person. The promotion criteria are essentially that you know how to flatter your supervisor, pretend to be busy, and maintain good attendance—then you have a good chance! There are many people who draw a salary without doing much work: they put on an enthusiastic performance when senior executives are around, but otherwise just slack off and kill time. The work is very monotonous. What supervisors want is not for you to grow and improve, but simply not to make mistakes that senior executives will notice.

You can almost treat the company as your home

Can't recruit enough slaves—even engineers have to go work on the production line

Typically characterized by the “three highs”: high pressure, long working hours, and high turnover

The interviewer had an overwhelmingly strong smell of cigarettes.

Their logic was not very clear, and they could not express themselves well.

If they are a manager, their capabilities are probably not very good.

Only did plant-facilities work.

On weekdays/holidays, go out to buy drinks and eat without swiping your card; on the night shift, swipe your card and sleep soundly.

Sleep until you wake up naturally; count money until your hands cramp.

A monthly income of 50,000 isn’t a dream—just wait happily for the bonus payout in September.

Having to swipe in/out every time to record it is really troublesome. Anyway, there’s no need to record entering or leaving the plant area, yet they still pretend otherwise.

The manager is incredibly annoying and even keeps a whole bunch of dogs that bite people indiscriminately—some fat ones, some “He” ones.

Extremely long hours—a life of putting on an act. Always pretending to be busy, still wearing a uniform, and still asking for money.

None

Excessive overtime and extremely long working hours—this used to be very common; it just wasn’t exposed.

I can’t believe so few people have stood up to speak up for their own rights. I’m speechless.

Sell your life to the company.

Even seating arrangements during meals are regulated. For such a large company, there is no lounge at all. It is managed like a military institution from top to bottom. All I can say is, if you want to be a slave laborer, welcome to this company, hehe.

Trading time for money

The lunch break is always rushed. You need to be fast at setting up the molds; otherwise, when engineers have something that needs machining, it will delay your own lunch break.

The company places great emphasis on CNC machine utilization, and most machines do not stop.

The CNC operating procedures are somewhat similar to those at HIWIN next door.

The younger managers are generally very respectful, communicate appropriately, and value basic capabilities.

I don't know which older manager it was, but he actually asked me whether I was bisexual, saying that it was popular among young people, and even asked whether I was answering that way because it was an interview. It was extremely disrespectful and instantly wiped out all the goodwill I had built up toward the company from the interviewers earlier in the process.

No..

During the interview, when the supervisor saw the family information section, she asked about my parents’ occupations.

Because my parents are retired, she then asked how old they were. When I honestly told her, the supervisor said directly to my face, “They’re so old.”

At that moment, I felt extremely disrespected. If possible, I wish she had kept that comment to herself.

Furthermore, I believe that my parents’ ages have nothing to do with my ability to work.

It feels really bad to be told there are no openings when there actually are~~ It’s not like I don’t have experience.

They’ve supposedly been hiring a nurse for ages—the posting has been up for at least six months to a year. After I submitted my résumé, HR called and asked me to fill it out in more detail and complete the autobiography section. They had me spend ages on it, only to tell me goodbye. (My junior went to the interview and said this position is only for men.) So why did they ask me to fill out my résumé thoroughly in the first place? No matter how thoroughly I filled it out, I can’t grow a penis....
