No deductions for company-provided meals; 10% off purchases at the Dashun showroom; NT$2,000 in holiday gift money after completing three months; gift boxes on holidays such as Mother’s Day.

The company employs some strange managers, such as Deputy Manager Jiang at the manufacturing site, who knows virtually nothing about weld seams or drawings, yet was still promoted from section chief to deputy manager. Deputy Manager Guo in production control is even more laughable—he pretends to know everything, likes to take on tasks but also likes to complain, and cries and runs away after being scolded by the boss a few times, only to come back full of energy! At a normal company, the probationary period is three months and salaries increase in the fourth month. At this company, the fourth month is when the evaluation takes place, and the salary increase starts in the fifth month. During the salary-increase interview, they say it will be at least NT$2,000–6,000, but in the end it is always only NT$1,000! They say the year-end bonus will be at least two months’ salary, but you won’t see a cent. The boss knows virtually nothing about the industry and makes reckless investments whenever there is money. The profits from this plant are all used to support other money-losing plants, so don’t expect a year-end bonus if you join—just take what you hear with a grain of salt. The boss really needs to improve his EQ. When there are no orders, he blames the employees; when there are orders and profits, he does not share them with the employees. Having documents thrown at you and being loudly berated are everyday occurrences. There are also endless meetings: every matter, big or small, requires an immediate meeting. His catchphrase is “launch,” but in reality nothing gets resolved. I sincerely suggest that the boss step back from day-to-day management and hire a professional manager to run the company. Otherwise, everyone has motivation, but everyone is held back. Why does the company have no orders? The reason is clear to everyone.

Interviewed for a packaging position.

They were direct and candid about the fact that overtime is routine and the job requires standing for long periods.

There is very little information about the job duties on the job-search website. There is also very little job-related information available through searches on the website.

They said they did not know the base salary, directly referred the question to HR, and then asked what salary I could accept.

The job duties were described as if they had not been described at all. They just kept asking whether I could accept standing for long periods. It seemed that as long as you said you accepted it, you would have to do it without complaint, including not being able to take leave from overtime for legitimate reasons.

Immediately after the first interview ended, they scheduled another interview. They did not inform me by phone or at the time, and the two interviews were only one hour apart. What if the interviewee lives relatively far away?

None, absolutely none

Old-fashioned boss-style management, Friday weekly meetings, one supervisor lives farther away and also had something come up, so they didn't attend the meeting

Because someone needed to contact that colleague, but the colleague had already boarded the train home

The boss directly told that colleague during the meeting not to come back anymore—it's really outrageous

Especially Yu XX from the Manufacturing Department; this company is ridiculously bold in its hiring

All the supervisory positions are filled by workers promoted from the shop floor; they fundamentally don't understand management

There's also team leader Guo X Chang, who was rapidly promoted from driver to team leader in the Manufacturing Department within just a few years

They all rose through the ranks by giving betel nuts and cigarettes; whenever they see another supervisor or an externally appointed supervisor

They immediately go up and flatter them. The Manufacturing Department supervisors can't even use basic office software

The foreign workers are of extremely poor quality; they slack off whenever they can. In any case, the supervisors don't know how to manage, and they're all just useless figureheads

The Manufacturing Department supervisors directly chew betel nuts in the office, showing no sense of corporate image whatsoever. It's just the standard of an ordinary ironworking factory

Yet they somehow even get orders for structural frames from major foreign companies. It's ridiculously absurd, haha. Maybe there are no other manufacturers left to turn to in Taiwan, or perhaps there's some shady deal, lol
