None

The boss said to my face that there are fresh university graduates every year, that there is an endless supply of toilet paper, and that if one is thrown away, they will look for another. There is no fear of having no one.

For self-directed learning, you are placed directly on site to learn from the original manufacturer’s company or outsourced personnel, with no arrangements or planning.

They are frequently seen recruiting on job banks. There is a reason they cannot find people.

Although the number of employees keeps shrinking (around 7 or 8 in total), the overall working hours are quite relaxed, and the pressure is not too great. The managers and colleagues are easy to get along with; you can even go play ball at the nearby park when the boss is away.

If you are not short of money and want to coast toward retirement, you can give this company a try. Young people can basically rule out this company because it has no future. The reasons are as follows:

1. Salaries never increase, and basically top out at 40,000 (and that is only possible after working there for more than 7 years).

2. The boss has a ton of rules. Although he urgently needs people now and is not harsh on newcomers, the longer you stay, the worse it gets (for example, once the boss refused to pay overtime to a long-term employee but paid it to a newcomer, even though they were doing exactly the same work together).

3. There are project bonuses for working on projects, but employees (including long-term employees) receive only a few hundred dollars. The boss is extremely stingy. I heard from the data-center staff that each project starts at at least 400,000–500,000, yet the company is only willing to give employees such a small amount. It also rejects reports for all kinds of reasons. No report approval means you do not receive the few-hundred-dollar project bonus. The bonus is already only a few hundred dollars, and they still try to cheat employees out of it.

4. There is no long-term planning. I do not know whether the boss genuinely appreciated me or was simply using sales talk to deceive me. When I joined the company, the boss said I was someone who could learn and hoped I would learn graphical control and PLC programming. But in reality, there was no plan at all. At this company, I have had to teach myself almost all the programming, and even after more than a year, I am still repeatedly told that I should go learn graphical control... So where is the planning? You cannot expect all employees to figure everything out on their own. People who can truly figure everything out themselves—why would they still be willing to come work for you for low pay...?

5. There are obvious problems with workforce management. In the two or three years before I joined, there were nearly 15 employees in total. After I had been there for more than a year, the number had fallen to only 5 or 6 at its lowest (including the administrative assistant). They are constantly saying they cannot recruit people. What is the problem? Does the boss really know?

6. The company equipment is poor. The computers and mobile phones have been used for many years, but they simply will not replace them. The phone is so bad that browsing the internet lags. I was speechless too.

7. There is no system for doing things. They often say one thing and then change it to another, causing a lot of chaos.

8. The boss has not maintained a long-term, good relationship with the clients (people from Taiwan Mobile). Basically, the boss has stopped developing new clients and is just occupying the position of environmental-control contractor for Taiwan Mobile, inflating contract prices or quoting high project prices and treating Taiwan Mobile like a sucker. As a result, many projects cannot proceed because of the price, and some have been stuck for several years. A project worth over 500,000 can simply be abandoned as unprofitable; it can sit there and rot, and that is fine. When a boss no longer makes earning money the primary policy, it means the company has no pressure from profits or losses. To put it bluntly, if the company goes under, the boss will not be affected because he has already made enough. So projects are quoted at extremely high prices, with no willingness to lower them. It does not matter if projects get stuck. Would employees still dare to stay?

9. The company used to have employee trips, but there have been none for the past few years. The benefits listed on 104 and elsewhere are all lies.
