It still feels like it needs more punishment.

There are a bunch of fines for legal violations. As soon as you enter the company name, a whole string of them appears. It’s not that there were no violations—the system just hasn’t been updated.

Employee discount (but it’s still very expensive)

Occasional clearance sales on products nearing their expiration date—sometimes you can find a bargain

The most senior Taiwanese manager has poor emotional control. Employees are expected to loudly greet everyone in Japanese when arriving at and leaving work, just to make their presence felt. During recruitment, senior management promised that the company’s conditions would be better than those required by the Labor Standards Act, but in practice they may not understand the regulations. Employees are often asked to arrive early for meetings without being given compensatory hours. Attendance deductions are severe, so when you are sick, it is better not to take sick leave to avoid being reprimanded by management. Not having a cleaning lady saves money, so employees have to take turns doing cleaning duties. Even on payday, you have to wait until near the end of the following month to receive the previous month’s salary. None of this was mentioned during the interviews. They are really good at exploiting employees—from work hours and wages to using staff for cleaning duties. Truly “diversified development.”

Senior employees who have stayed keep getting promoted, but new hires are explicitly told that they will not be promoted, since it is obvious from the business situation that the company cannot expand. Senior employees can browse Facebook and look through department-store flyers during work hours. There are major cultural differences, and there is no real prospect for the future.

Close to the MRT station, with convenient transportation in the city center.

A very traditional Japanese-culture company with Taiwanese businesspeople forming its core. Employees are not allowed to use their phones during work; the break time required by the Labor Standards Act can only be spent going to the restroom, and if you take more than ten minutes, you have to report it. On top of that, people are not allowed to use their phones in the restroom either—it's truly contradictory. Any random senior employee or someone from HR can keep targeting and nitpicking any newcomer they take a dislike to, while claiming that it is out of concern. It is basically a place with no human rights. If you want to feel like you're in prison, come and give it a try.
