1. The vice president of the "Finance Department" has poor emotional control and often flies into a rage over trivial matters. When there is nothing else to do, they like to monitor what people in other departments are doing. They bring their child to work, and the child even runs around the company. What kind of privilege is that?
2. The manager applies double standards: things they do themselves are not allowed for subordinate employees. If they think you have too much free time, they exploit your time or increase your workload, demanding high standards of subordinates while taking it easy themselves.
3. The job responsibilities are unclear. You are "frequently" expected to help with tasks that are not part of your job, or are inexplicably assigned troublesome tasks. There is no sense of accomplishment at work.
4. They expect the horse to grow strong and fast while also wanting it to eat less fodder. The job requires you to be able to do everything, with unclear divisions of responsibility, yet the salary is below standard.
1. Flexible working hours
2. A steady, moderate pace of work
The following is a dream I had:
1. At this company, newcomers usually have a hard time getting good positions because most of the old hands occupy the good spots without doing their jobs. They only pick the easy and enjoyable work, while newcomers who join are exploited by the veterans. Newcomers who refuse to comply will be criticized.
2. Some longtime employees seem to be just waiting for retirement. They have little ability and cannot accomplish major tasks, making them easy to replace, but they act entitled because of their seniority and assign the tasks they do not want to do to younger employees.
3. Each department has its own atmosphere, and your experience will vary depending on which department you interact with more. For example, some managers are the type who refuse to take responsibility, while others like to push things off onto others.
4. HR’s specialty is squeezing your salary. If you clock out early, even by just one minute, you have to request leave. Personal leave is counted in one-hour increments (which does not comply with the Labor Standards Act), but how this is handled also depends on the person; people in senior positions and ordinary employees receive different treatment.
5. Although it is a publicly listed company, even after completing the approval process in the system, you still have to go through the procedures manually. The system is not sufficiently advanced.
6. The salary is not high enough to make you rich.
7. If you search online, you can find plenty of gossip about the company—for example, stock manipulation.
Oh, I also dreamed that the FDA inspection failed and that the company once almost went under.
A very comfortable life
1. If you forget to clock in or out, you can only make one free correction per month. The second time, you are fined NT$300 or forced to take leave. As for where the fine goes, nobody knows. If you do not deal with it, the Administration Department will keep calling and nagging you until you cannot stand it.
2. Health checkups are once every two years, and I still have not had time to do mine.
3. They are reluctant to provide stationery. The second-hand items are unbelievably dirty. For ballpoint pens, you can only apply for refills, and even the highlighters you receive have no ink.
