The boss claims to have graduated from a marketing program in France.
Her way of treating new employees is simply to assign work to you, but she provides no training or even handover. When problems arise, you have to figure them out yourself and solve them by connecting the dots.
On my first day, she asked me to replenish the toilet paper. I asked where the new rolls were kept.
The boss replied: “In the place where this kind of thing would be kept. Think about it and you’ll find it.”
Me: ????
Basically, she responds this way to everything.
Even coming in for a shift and replenishing supplies was extremely stressful.
A real example:
She asked the accountant to issue an invoice for exactly 2,000, but everyone was a new employee and no one knew how to operate the POS machine. While we were spending time figuring it out, the boss eventually angrily snatched the handheld POS machine away, changed the amount to 2,000 within 10 seconds to show us, and tapped the accountant’s head with her knuckles while saying, “Use your brain for something like this. Everyone can do it. Do you use your brain when you work?” (At least 3–4 times.)
The accountant resigned on the spot that day.
The job I applied for was a graphic design internship, but after starting, I was also required to help with the pet-friendly restaurant downstairs: making coffee, preparing ingredients, preparing dishes, and purchasing supplies.
Customers were supposed to come first, but she would also suddenly rush us to produce designs, giving us no time while demanding both quantity and quality.
Relations between colleagues were tense.
Everyone was afraid that the boss would cause trouble for them, so no one dared to help one another.
The workplace was not harmonious.
The boss’s impatience, twisted personality, and distorted values were the only things I took away from this company.
It did not help me gain any workplace experience at all.
During the interview, she will ask how much starting pay you want, then later find reasons to extend the probationary period and cut the pay significantly.
Conclusion: Don’t come here and waste your life.
There is no such thing.
1. Overtime every day, with no overtime pay
2. Poor communication within the company
3. It feels like there is no interaction among colleagues
4. Low salary
5. The boss is very spoiled
1. They openly showed you all of the company’s shortcomings during the interview.
2. The company is located in Taipei City (?
3. I really can’t think of anything.
I applied for a position listed on 104 as “E-commerce Operations Specialist / Management Trainee.” The job description on the website stated: planning e-commerce website marketing, managing e-commerce platform operations, etc. However, on the day of the interview, I discovered that the actual position was completely different from the description above.
The interviewer was a female manager with an “extremely strong” personal subjective bias. Throughout the interview, she repeatedly made sarcastic and disparaging remarks about the candidate and forcefully imposed her own views on the other person. For example: “I think your salary jumped too much from your previous job. You’re simply not worth that much; you only have XX years of work experience, so how dare you ask for this kind of salary?”
In addition, the job duties discussed that day were completely inconsistent with the position I originally applied for. I applied for an e-commerce operations position, but the interviewer directly stated that this was not a comfortable or easygoing work environment. She also said that people in this position needed to possess three major qualities: 1. the ability to endure hardship, 2. the ability to endure hardship, and 3. the ability to endure hardship. Furthermore, they would be responsible for three major tasks: 1. achieving annual sales of over one million (with no bonus if the target is not met); 2. planning and participating in more than ten offline events per year; and 3. acting in a sales role and maintaining relationships with distribution channels.
None of the above corresponds to either “E-commerce Operations Specialist” or the “Job Description” on 104.
Finally, the female manager said that this person would have to do everything and be trained as a future manager, but there would be a three-month probationary period, with a salary only around the average for a fresh university graduate.
Bonus: Before the interview, the interviewer was eating instant noodles and only came in after finishing them. The interview was also conducted in an informal setting, which made for an extremely unpleasant experience. I would like to warn everyone considering interviewing at this company to be sure to take note.
Related to pets, very happy
The salary is relatively low. Interactions between colleagues are strange, and people generally do not help each other when there are issues.
The boss, despite being the boss, makes sarcastic remarks.
The company does not comply with the Labor Standards Act. There is no overtime pay, and attendance records only contain handwritten clock-in and clock-out times. Even when leaving work on time, you are watched, making it very stressful to leave.
