They claim the entire plant is smoke-free, but apparently that only applies to the “prestigious” administrative units—the production departments smoke heavily. The only advantage is the early, middle, night, and rest shift arrangement: under this six-days-on, two-days-off rotation, the base salary is NT$24,000 during the probationary period and NT$27,000 after confirmation. The middle-shift allowance is NT$300, and the night-shift allowance is NT$320; there is no allowance for the morning shift.
The administrative departments occasionally have to throw in some English, yet they apparently do not know that production-line employees are constantly swearing and readily hurling insults, saying how they were beaten into shape in the past and how much better it is for those who came later because they did not have to endure beatings. If you learn QC inspection, you have to endure mental abuse all day. Moreover, if you are injured at work here—for example, if a machine severs your finger or arm—too bad: a major demerit is issued, along with a salary deduction starting at NT$5,000.
