Speaking follows the Labor Standards Act; if there’s anything else you don’t want to talk about, that’s fine too.

Today I’m going to tell a story that happened at a certain company. Using some simple rhetoric, they’ll get you to believe that it spun off independently from some huge company.

With its business already facing economic and digital transformation challenges, Big Sister mostly engages in money-losing ventures. It borrows from banks to see whether it has enough money to do more, but today a black hole has appeared: unable to borrow from banks and keep the company operating, it ultimately still can’t make this huge hole smaller. After losing money until it can barely hold on, it may even have to pawn a kidney to borrow money......

That’s why people with bad intentions will tell you about “great benefits” and how you can get a share, or how amazing a wealth-building program is—listening to it can make you question your entire life. The economic problems remain unresolved, the hole keeps getting bigger, and there’s simply no capacity to deal with the follow-up plans.

The pyramid schemes you often hear about are probably similar. They’ll tell you, “I have a great business opportunity! You can join by purchasing some distribution rights,” or assign people to others who then assign them elsewhere, reselling manpower. Then you get a few people to join, and before long, we’ll have profits—the more people who join, the better.

I don’t oppose this kind of multilevel management if you like it. Anyway, I’m too lazy to stop it.

The HR explanation is very straightforward; it is a company that assigns employees to work elsewhere.

The debt issue concealed during the interview was, of course, bad news. It proves that there is some problem with the company’s operations, which is why they did not want to talk about it. Job seekers should not accept everything at face value without any doubts. There clearly was no new plan, so why did they sound so confident when discussing the figures?

It is easy to see that this was done simply to keep the losses from coming to light. They chose questionable methods as a form of rescue, but one mistake led to another and ultimately caused even more serious problems, creating even greater issues a second time.

In particular, recruitment for Cambodia and Southeast Asia offers very attractive conditions, such as overseas travel. But the job turns out to be nothing like customer service or engineering; instead, it becomes work as an out-and-out scam operator in a fraud compound. I am very concerned that this may be a disguised high-end scheme, because there are no additional channels for verification. Please be very careful.

Thanks for your hard work, HR.

Now renamed PCCW Solutions British Virgin Islands–registered Yingxun Technology Co., Ltd., Taiwan Branch, Business Registration No. 28426436; they handle outsourced placements.

Because classmates and friends around me had come for interviews, and I had also received an invitation, I decided to take a look. Here is the conclusion:

1. They tell you that projects for Fubon, CTBC Bank, Cathay, and others are expanding, and that someone becomes a permanent employee every few months. They are very good at tricking people into coming for interviews. What many projects? A friend interviewed a few months before me and there was nothing—nothing at all, and no other people either. It is just a personal-data trap used to build up a contact list.

2. The image differs greatly from reality. The Taiwan branch operates under a completely different system, and the benefits are inconsistent; they just keep deflecting questions. They probably pulled back after they could no longer tolerate the losses.

3. The industry coverage is very broad. I heard this is supposed to enable more diverse development, with all kinds of technologies—a jack-of-all-trades type of company. However, when interviewing an engineer, it was obvious that they did not understand the operational details; everything was empty talk. They could not provide any useful professional opinions and made only verbal promises.

4. They themselves have no experience. The HR interviewer only wanted to ask about the development technologies and processes at my previous company, so I was actually the consultant. They should have paid me an hourly consulting fee.

5. Their descriptions of the division of responsibilities and the goals of the position were extremely vague. It was unclear whether the role involved development or maintenance. They told me to give it a try and emphasized that if I came, I had to be sure about it (I was not thinking that way).

6. They say that you can learn and grow here, but they clearly have no idea how to plan target KPIs, making me completely uninterested in working under them.

7. They use PUA tactics during interviews.

8. Every time I make my résumé available, I receive an interview invitation from this company. If I do not interview with them once, they will pester me to death. Since they wanted me to come, I came.

I really, really do not recommend this company. Although I only came to check it out, anyone seriously looking for a job or trying to make money should consider spending their time elsewhere.
