I don’t know how many people will see this on this platform,
but you really need to think carefully before applying to this company.
The actual job duties absolutely do not match the description.
Because it is a family business and a small company with fewer than five employees,
regardless of what they post on the job site,
once you join the company, you will end up doing miscellaneous chores.
Besides taking the boss’s children to and from school and paying utility bills,
and other tasks completely unrelated to the company’s operations,
you will have to ride 20–40 kilometers a day on average,
regardless of whether it is blazing hot, windy, or raining.
You must help deliver goods (almost always car batteries).
The goods are very heavy, and the wind in Hsinchu is very strong.
Personally, I think it is dangerous.
You also have to distribute flyers and develop new customers.
Even if you close a contract, the bonus is only a measly 200.
The promised salary adjustment after three months of employment never happened...
There were only bonuses of 100–500, and they weren’t even paid every month.
After working there for a full year, the year-end bonus was less than one month’s salary.
They made excuses such as, “The government doesn’t require me to give employees a year-end bonus,”
or “The year-end bonus is for people who have contributed to the company,” and so on.
They also interfere in employees’ personal lives and speak badly of former employees.
After I started working there, I heard countless criticisms of the previous employee from him.
After I left, the new employee also heard plenty of criticism about me.
(We kept in touch privately.)
You really need to think carefully before working for this company.
He once told me,
“If you don’t want to do the job, then write your resignation letter today.
Even with only three people, I can run the company (normally)!”
Oh, right! Including the owner and his wife, there are only four people in the entire company.
If you are unfortunately already working for this company and have reached this point,
a reminder to everyone: don’t sign your name carelessly; protect your rights.
Good luck!
