The overall impression is that they want to hire experienced workers while offering the salary and conditions of a new hire.

On the first day of work, they taught me an overwhelming amount of material at a very fast pace and gave me almost no time to take notes. Then, on that very first day, they started criticizing my performance and saying that I was too slow. Things that had already been confirmed as completed the previous day would suddenly need to be changed the next day, but they would not tell you directly. Instead, they would silently place a notepad containing one or two lines of text in the folder of the file that needed to be changed. The colleagues there gave me the impression of pretending to be very friendly, while in reality acting superior, as if they were so impressive. After only five days of work, they dismissed me using a nonsensical excuse, which felt very unpleasant.

The only advantage is that it’s conveniently located for transportation.

It’s pretty much the same as usual, so there’s not much more to say.

If anything, the only issue is that the relationships among colleagues are merely superficial.

The only positives are that the coworkers are friendly and the commute is convenient.

1. During the interview for a certain position, they said all the right things to lure you in. But after actually being hired, the department staffing allocation was seriously problematic, often resulting in overtime—and there was “no overtime pay.” The information on the job website is basically just for show.

2. The boss’s wife has a very short temper. Whenever she gets angry, she types so forcefully that the keyboard can be heard throughout the entire office. If things don’t go her way, she’ll call you into the meeting room for a “discussion,” then start brainwashing you until you agree with her.

3. She has a very poor memory and often delays other coworkers’ work, forcing everyone to work overtime. It’s an endless cycle.

4. Everyone in the department has to write a work log every day, but they never actually read them. They often say they don’t know what we’re doing. (So why make us write work logs in the first place?)

5. They constantly say things like, “The workload won’t be too heavy, right? It’ll be okay, right? This is pretty simple, right?” (But if some of these tasks are reduced, they just assign you other work instead… nothing is actually reduced.)

6. As soon as you point out that the workload might not be completed on time, they take out a calculator and ask you to calculate how long you spent doing the task.

7. There is insufficient staff and high turnover, so you often have to help other departments with their work. As a result, your own responsibilities are constantly delayed, affecting your time off work.

The colleagues are very easy to get along with. Other than that, there are absolutely no pros.

1. During the interview, they made the job sound great and said there would be no overtime, but in reality, we work excessive overtime every day, and there is no overtime pay.

2. I applied for a certain position, but after I started working, what they said and what they did were completely different. They make one person take on two roles and only add 1,000 to your salary.

3. The female boss has very poor emotional control and a terrible memory. She often delays other colleagues’ work progress, forcing everyone to work overtime, without overtime pay. It is an endless cycle.

4. We have to write a work log every day, but they never actually read it. They only look through it when you cannot finish your work, and then say that you spent too much time on it.

5. The boss loves to say, “The workload won’t be too heavy, right? It’s okay, right?” and then keeps adding more work.

The only advantage is that it’s conveniently located.

During the trial period, the boss’s wife evaluates whether you meet her expectations and initially pays you by the hour. After a week, if you don’t meet her expectations, you’ll be dismissed—only then will you find out that you weren’t covered by labor or health insurance during this period. In short, they’re extremely stingy: they don’t provide labor or health insurance, nor do they give you a certificate of involuntary termination. It’s absolutely terrible.

There are many buses available near the MRT station.

“I forgot”: The people at the top of the company who handle things may have Alzheimer’s disease; they often forget many things.

“It’s perfectly normal to forget to issue salaries”: There have been instances where salaries and pay slips were forgotten.

During the interview, they said the probationary period was three months, and that good performance plus passing the test would lead to a salary adjustment. After passing the test, the results had to be reported to upper management, and you had to keep reminding them before they would remember to adjust the salary. Salaries do not increase with seniority; some people have stayed for six years and still earn the same salary as newly hired employees.

“It’s perfectly normal to undercalculate overtime pay”: 6:00 p.m. is the regular end of the workday. If you work overtime from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., any overtime worked before clocking out at 7:00 p.m. will not be paid.

For the same number of overtime hours, people with different salaries receive the same amount of money. When this was brought up with the company, they simply said it was “easier to calculate this way” (?).

“Labor and health insurance”: High salaries are underreported. Before departing employees have formally left the company, their labor and health insurance is transferred out without authorization. Employees are even told, 【You won’t be coming back to the company anyway, so you probably don’t need to be insured anymore, right?】. If this company is in such financial difficulty, it would be better to take the opportunity to close while things are still manageable.

“What do you do at work?”: Unless you are an employee in a department favored by upper management, it is perfectly normal for the company not to know what you do even if you have worked there for five or six years. They may not realize that you were responsible for all these things until you resign and they need to hire someone.

“You’re not doing anything anyway”: If you do your work diligently and finish it early, the company will think you have nothing to do and assign you tasks from other departments. Eventually, those tasks will become part of your job, and you will be responsible for them going forward. Your salary will not be adjusted, and you will not receive any thanks; they will simply think that since you have nothing to do, you should be doing these things.

“Meetings that waste your life”: Meaningless meetings are held frequently. After decisions are made in a meeting, upper management may suddenly decide the next day that something is wrong and change the outcome to what they want. Alternatively, when something requires assistance from upper management to execute, their “Alzheimer’s” may flare up again, and it may take three or four months to complete.

Sometimes, if upper management is in a bad mood during a meeting, they reject every proposal regardless of what you say. Then, in the middle of the meeting, they may suddenly curse and swear at employees. Please, if you’re in a bad mood, just don’t hold a meeting.

“The boss says go east, the boss’s wife says go west”: Sometimes they pass responsibility back and forth. When you ask the boss, he says to ask the boss’s wife and that it isn’t his responsibility. When you ask the boss’s wife, she says it is something the boss decides.

Sometimes they disagree: one says, “It’s not urgent—take your time,” while the other says, “Get it done by [month] [day].”

So, whose instructions are we supposed to follow?

A place to hone your skills

The insured salary reported for Labor and Health Insurance is lower than the actual salary.

There are many tasks to do, regardless of whether they are part of the job you originally applied for.

Be careful around the boss's wife, because she is the one who assigns work belonging to her department to other departments.

The boss really likes to smoke indoors (although this has improved now). If you dislike the smell of smoke, this place is not recommended.

The colleagues are nice, but that's about it.

1. There is no overtime pay. During the interview, they said there would not be frequent overtime, but in reality, we work overtime every day, sometimes until 10 p.m....

2. The pay is extremely low, despite the huge workload. The person who interviews you is the boss's wife. After you are hired, if you accidentally offend her, your days there can easily become a matter of her nitpicking over every little thing.

3. Working here is like being a 7-Eleven employee—you have to know how to do everything because other colleagues often leave. Whenever someone resigns, the remaining employees have to take on their work, even if it is in a different field... The boss will only say, "Learn it; it will be good for your future..."

4. Very stingy!! It gets unbearably hot, but the air conditioning is always turned off during the lunch break. Work ends at six, but they turn off the air conditioning at five... In the morning, they wait until it is extremely hot before turning it on.

My colleagues are very nice.

1. High salary, low reported salary

2. The company provides Skype, and Skype conversation records are monitored

3. You must accept work assignments; if you do not, there is no possibility of a salary increase

4. If you are not favored, they will pressure you into resigning voluntarily (by increasing your workload) to save severance costs

5. Stubborn and self-opinionated; they do not listen to others’ opinions. They often expect employees to solve problems, but instead frequently create problems for employees

6. Very high employee turnover; they often seem to think, “We’re paying to hire you.”
