The workplace environment is terrible. Forced labor. Workplace bullying and sexual harassment are issues here, but the managers at this company only laugh and say they are minor matters.
The only advantages are annual leave, a five-day workweek, year-end bonuses, bonuses and gifts for the three major holidays, domestic travel, overseas travel, and performance bonuses.
This company does not respect the Labor Standards Act. There are also problems with workplace safety, bullying, and sexual harassment.
When I first joined the company, because I was an “apprentice,” my salary was only NT$20,000. I was told it would later be adjusted based on my learning ability. However, almost no one teaches you during the learning process; you have to learn independently.
Although the position is woodworker technician, most of the actual work involves installing hardware, blowers, rope winches, anchor winches, and other things that are almost completely unrelated to woodworking.
Every day, you have to monitor the yacht’s progress and incoming materials yourself and determine the day’s construction tasks. Working here can improve your ability to do the work of three people because work assignments are based on efficiency. The more efficient you are, the greater your workload becomes. It took two years at the company for my salary to increase from NT$20,000 to NT$29,000, and after enduring another three years, it reached NT$49,800.
Regular working hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but overtime until 8:30 p.m. is routine (sometimes you may have to work until 10:00 p.m. or even later). You basically also have to come in for overtime on Saturdays.
Every six months, if the company reaches its boat-launch target, there is a bonus.
The work environment is filled with fiberglass dust and the smells of paint, acetone, and resin.
Most coworkers are uneducated thugs, “8+9” types, and migrant workers.
When you are an apprentice, some malicious senior workers deliberately teach apprentices incorrect concepts or dangerous knowledge, then pretend they knew nothing after an accident occurs.
Senior workers are afraid of new employees learning things. Coworkers often lie, spread rumors, distort the truth, and sexually harass others (such as squeezing nipples or flicking genitals). They also frequently raise their voices, randomly insult people, threaten others, and even steal things and frame others for it.
Supervisors often make things difficult in every possible way. In addition to hounding employees about work progress every day, they occasionally propose incorrect construction methods and add difficult requirements to work orders. When materials are out of stock, they pressure employees about progress or make a series of unreasonable demands, but provide no assistance whatsoever.
On one occasion, they even deducted wages without giving any reason.
Finally, when I resigned, the supervisor taunted me, saying that the company would never hire me again and that there were plenty of people outside lining up to fight for the job.
The only advantages are paid annual leave, a five-day workweek, year-end bonuses, bonuses and gifts for the three major holidays, domestic travel, overseas travel, and performance bonuses.

Working here can improve your ability to do the work of three people, because work is assigned according to efficiency. The more efficient you are, the greater your workload will be. It took two years at the company for my salary to increase from NT$20,000 to NT$29,000, and after enduring another three years, it reached NT$49,800.
Regular working hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but overtime until 8:30 p.m. is routine (sometimes you may have to work until 10:00 p.m. or even later). You generally also have to come in for overtime on Saturdays.
Every six months, if the company reaches its boat-launching target, there is a bonus.
The work environment is filled with fiberglass dust and the smells of spray paint, acetone, and resin.
Most coworkers are uneducated thugs, “8+9s,” and migrant workers.
When I was an apprentice, some malicious senior workers deliberately taught apprentices incorrect concepts or dangerous practices, then pretended not to know anything after an accident occurred.
Senior workers are afraid that new employees will learn. Coworkers often lie, spread rumors, distort right and wrong, and engage in sexual harassment (randomly pinching nipples and flicking people’s genitals). They also frequently shout, curse at people for no reason, threaten others, and even steal things and frame other people for it.
Supervisors often make things difficult in every possible way. In addition to pressuring employees about work progress every day, they occasionally propose incorrect construction methods and add difficult requirements to work orders. When materials are out of stock, they pressure employees to speed up or make a bunch of unreasonable demands, but provide no assistance whatsoever.
Once, they even deducted wages arbitrarily without giving a reason.
Finally, when I resigned, the supervisor taunted me, saying that the company would never hire me again and that there were plenty of people outside lining up to fight for the job.
Regarding sexual harassment, supervisors don't take it seriously. Can deal with female colleagues they like...............
