I interviewed with the highest-ranking person—the chairman.

He spoke sarcastically and even criticized me.

I think it’s fair to say directly if someone’s abilities are insufficient, but there’s no need to personally attack them. He also tried to instill strange ideas.

He said it’s perfectly normal to leave before completing three months… (Wouldn’t you rather admit that your company is incapable of retaining people?)

Seeing that I had stayed at my previous companies for a long time, he said I had outdated thinking and was from ancient times.

Then he went on to say that no boss would want to hire someone who changes jobs frequently.

His statements were contradictory…

He even criticized me and said I was pathetic… Who would dare work for this company? The manager’s attitude was extremely rude and outrageous.

Air conditioning? But sometimes it’s still really hot.

You can sit down? But when there’s a rush to finish the work, even standing up isn’t fast enough.

The cleanroom clothing (anti-static clothing) here seems completely meaningless......

Normally, you’re supposed to wear anti-static clothing + a cap + slippers. But on the production line, you can often see people who find it too hot and take off their caps. Even when they do wear a cap, they don’t tuck their hair inside it—it really is just “wearing a cap.” And inside, you can also see supervisors on the floor wearing anti-static clothing.

If you’re a supplier visiting the facility, congratulations~ You don’t have to wear anything at all~

All I can say is, fortunately this is a technology factory—not a food or cosmetics factory, nor one that makes anything especially precision-oriented.

Air-conditioned workspace, with fifteen-minute breaks in both the morning and afternoon.

You can sit, provided you can keep up with the speed of the production line.

You can clock in as soon as you enter the company, unlike at a certain technology company, where you can only clock in after entering the premises.

An overtime hell.

Because it was short-term, I wanted to cooperate with the work schedule as much as possible, so the working hours were extremely long: 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. Full-time employees might also have to work overtime on Saturdays, from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Most of the workers there were migrant workers.

The workload distribution was often unbalanced. One person might be responsible for too many tasks, making it impossible to keep up with the pace and replenish materials in time.

It was assembly-line work with repetitive movements. Although there were opportunities to take breaks—drink water and use the restroom—performing repetitive movements continuously for more than ten hours a day was still quite physically demanding.

One supervisor seemed to have become mentally unstable from working there. Their mood was unpredictable, and they did not explain things clearly, yet would blame you for not asking.

They chatted happily and openly took breaks and slacked off, but enforced the rule that what was permissible for the authorities was forbidden for the common people.

It was unclear whether it was due to the weather or overwork, but people frequently took sick leave to see doctors. It was truly amazing that the employees were still alive.

Interviewed at You-Jing Technology as a dispatched worker, providing short-term support for Jin Zhi-Yang.

The interview was held in the employee cafeteria.

After I finished filling out the information, I barely exchanged two sentences with the interviewer. They only said, “I understand,” and then sent me—completely stunned that they had asked me nothing—to wait off to the side. I was confused the entire time. I never expected to be hired; they must really have been short-staffed.

In the end, I could only confirm the working hours and such with the staffing agency. However, when I actually worked there, the latest finishing time was not 8 p.m. after overtime, but 9 p.m.

The staffing agency said, “We only found out once we got to the site, too~”

These are the easiest colleagues to get along with that I’ve ever encountered. They’re all good people~ Very mutually supportive! What a pity... If she didn’t exist, I believe the employee turnover rate would decrease and the company would improve.

The chairwoman is extremely fierce and frequently screams abuse and throws things (the A4 shelf, desktop computer, ballpoint pens, whiteboard markers, whiteboard eraser, and paper have all been completely innocent). If you want to put forward your own ideas, you should be mentally prepared to be blasted, because to the chairwoman, all your ideas are bullshit; only what she says isn’t bullshit~ Don’t use your brain—just do as she says! That way, you can survive for a long time~ Just being honest.

Classic:

She screamed at HR, “Why is the turnover rate so high!?”

HR said nothing.

Come on~ Let me tell you: “It’s all because you scared people away with that high-pitched mouth of yours! Did you know that?” XD

1. The salary is considered high for southern Taiwan, with weekday overtime but no holiday overtime.

2. There is a NT$3,000 bonus for working more than 40 hours of overtime.

3. The night-shift allowance is NT$500 per day, and the missed-meal allowance is also NT$80 per meal.

4. With a 12-hour workday, you receive four hours of overtime pay.

This is one of the few companies in southern Taiwan with a circuit-board surface-mount process. If you want to learn related techniques or newer knowledge, I would recommend going somewhere else.

The extent of their knowledge comes from supervisors figuring things out on their own, so please don't expect them to teach you very accurate concepts. If you take questions to the experienced operators on the line, you'll only get ambiguous answers.

As for the coworkers, they're mostly from the older generation—uncles and aunties, so to speak. All I can say is, even at their age, they still form cliques every day. When they make mistakes themselves, it's apparently no big deal, but when someone else makes a mistake, be mentally prepared for nonstop sarcasm and mockery. They'll say you're blind or ask what's wrong with you. I have to ask: don't they make mistakes themselves? Are they never wrong? The most ridiculous part is that even for team leaders and supervisors, we're expected to ask them questions. But when you ask them why, they don't know either. Every day, all they know is what to buy after work and where to go for fun. Okay, sure—how wonderful. 👍

And when you go to work, do you think you'll have break time?

Let me tell you: you won't. Aside from the half-hour meal break, you don't get any extra time to rest. If you really want to come here, you should think it through carefully~

Oh, and if you're coming here to level up and fight monsters, I wouldn't recommend it either~

There are absolutely no advantages.

The supervisor sexually harasses employees, even in public.

The only advantage is that the chairwoman is bad enough and does not hide it at all.

The chairwoman is unprofessional and thinks she understands everything. She likes criticizing others but never looks in the mirror herself. She cannot retain talent; perhaps business would be better if she opened a bar.

I advise people considering an interview not to go and become expendable. The chairwoman’s boss probably isn’t anyone important either.

You only need to experience it yourself to know that the online reviews are true, especially Doim’s comments—I could really relate.

HR said from the beginning that they would offer me the highest salary they could. This was the first time I encountered a company that stated the salary directly before I had even started speaking with the manager. The figure was really low, even lower than the salary from my first job.

The interview took a long time, with most of it wasted waiting for the interview. No one looked at the résumé I brought from beginning to end, so there is no need to bring a résumé you prepared yourself when you go for the interview.

During the interview, the manager did most of the talking. From beginning to end, the only focus was criticizing my inadequate technical abilities. In addition, when discussing A, the manager would often bring up unrelated B, and I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about.

At the end of the manager’s interview, they said they wanted to have the chairman interview me. Because the conversation with the manager had been very unpleasant, I said on the spot that there was no need to proceed further. It was obvious at the time that the interviewing manager was somewhat taken aback, and then the manager began lecturing me for nearly 30 minutes. I couldn’t leave even though I wanted to.

The interview process began with filling out an exhaustive personal-history résumé. After finishing it, I waited half an hour before taking a test. Once it was completed, the overall feeling was that I had just arrived at the workplace and, without knowing what was going on, somehow finished the interview. Next, the boss came to discuss the compensation; he started by saying, “So, this is what you were doing before,” and then went on about how things are in southern Taiwan… “If you can accept this, we’ll discuss it further afterward.”

We got along fairly well.

There are many negative reviews online, and after the interview, I can confirm that those negative reviews are not unfounded.

The boss will make you wait for a long time! While working, the boss will suddenly explode from time to time~ kicking cabinets and scolding people harshly

Southern region

A foundation has not been established. If you want to accomplish something (in a managerial position), it is not recommended that you go; if you just want to coast (in an entry-level position), it is also currently not suitable to go.

Southern region—only a few MIT graduates.

With experience, the salary is acceptable.

Outsiders manage insiders.
