Self-cultivation

At the beginning of this job, my supervisor was friendly and polite, making me think that as long as I worked hard, my efforts would be recognized. I did take this job seriously and was willing to streamline the processes and take responsibility for my work.

But as time went on, the attitude began to change. The original recognition gradually turned into criticism; the original communication turned into deliberate obstruction. The things you said and did would be erased bit by bit, and in the end, you would be portrayed as completely worthless.

The company looked polished and impressive on the surface, but behind the scenes it treated employees as an unpaid labor force to be taken for granted. Unpaid overtime was the norm, and holiday support was regarded as an obligation. Even when overtime pay was requested, it was directly refused, as if doing extra work were simply expected.

The bigger problem was the system. The warehouse was an open space that many people could freely enter and leave, and the movement of items was not fully recorded, yet a single employee was expected to bear responsibility for all the consequences. Whenever a problem arose, the system was not reviewed and the procedures were not corrected. Instead, the employee would repeatedly be asked: “Are you unsuitable for this job?” and “Have you thought carefully about whether you should leave?”

In the end, I was even asked to absorb the financial losses myself. When responsibility could not be clearly determined and management loopholes were obvious, all the risk was shifted onto the individual.

I chose to leave. It was not because I was incapable of doing the job, but because this kind of environment is only suitable for people who “make enough money, can afford to pay for losses, and are willing to give unconditionally” to stay.

My advice to future job seekers: Be sure to ask clearly about the company’s policies, the allocation of responsibilities, and overtime regulations during the interview. Otherwise, what you end up giving may not just be your time, but also your dignity and your money.

Colleagues are all very friendly at first.

During the interview, some policies and regulations are downplayed or described evasively. Applicants are advised to carefully ask about the salary structure and think very carefully about whether they are willing to spend their own money on the job out of goodwill! The initial friendliness is only an illusion. In reality, everyone is secretly watching you closely. There are also inconsistencies between what is said at the beginning and what actually happens later. For example, you may repeatedly confirm whether a situation should be handled in a certain way, and your internal supervisor will respond, “Yes!” But when it actually happens, they will ask you, “Is this how you’re supposed to do it?” If you point out that you confirmed it beforehand, the supervisor may become angry and sarcastically criticize you, saying, “Your attitude is the problem!”

The company’s supervisors—not just one of them—have poor emotional intelligence and love to follow SOPs rigidly. Anything outside the SOP is considered wrong, regardless of whether it is actually correct. Therefore, I personally think this workplace is fairly suitable for people who like to work mindlessly, but even blindly following instructions does not necessarily mean you are doing the right thing! It gives off the feeling that officials are allowed to set fires, but ordinary people are not even allowed to light a lamp.

I saw this page far too late. Indeed, everything said below is true. If you are already planning to join and happen to see this, I sincerely recommend thinking it over again and again!!

None

The video interview was scheduled, but the company interviewer disappeared for no reason.

They could not even be basically punctual—absolutely terrible.

The place where guests are received is quite beautiful and feels upscale.

It’s in a high-end office building, but the salary offered was too low...so I didn’t go. Also, the company events I saw seemed a bit...too flashy and glamorous, and didn’t feel like a good fit for me XD...Now that I’ve come back and read quite a few of the comments below, I instantly feel like I dodged a bullet...

Many good colleagues

Gives you fantasies of an infinitely bright future

Always says not to worry about the salary ）Unlimited overtime（

Says you have great potential and wants to promote you

But then asks suspiciously, “Aside from being good at English, what else do you have?”

Makes you feel like what you said is very poor and terrible

Makes you feel that the basic salary they give you is a kind of favor

Makes you feel like you really are terrible

Makes you feel that you can’t find such a 《good》 job elsewhere

Colleagues are easy to get along with

1. An extremely scheming supervisor who talks nonsense and tries to extract information, protects only the managers, and does not listen to employees’ opinions. They also exploit personal interests, using money and benefits to sow discord among colleagues.

2. Almost daily overtime. There are eight days off per month, or four days off during busy periods, with no overtime pay. They even say that you volunteered to work overtime.

3. The new-hire system and training are inadequate and careless, yet inexperienced employees are expected to achieve high sales targets.

4. A heartless company that only wants to keep extracting endless amounts of money from customers without providing them with the quality and experience they deserve.

5. They do not appreciate employees’ efforts; your contributions are simply taken for granted. No matter how much money you make for the company, if you do not know how to flatter, your supervisor will continue to give you a hard time—even begrudging you a single meal.

6. They claim they will listen to employees’ concerns, but in reality they do not. They distort what employees say and then relay it to others.

7. Pressure from both sides. Newcomers are the least experienced at handling this, and management takes advantage of that. If an employee is not generating value, they will target them and pressure them from both sides until they cannot respond, then find excuses and reasons to force them to resign.

8. The boss failed to train the supervisors properly, allowing them to act recklessly and then blame the employees.

9. They even rip off new employees. Newcomers who have been there for only a month are advised not to buy products through senior female colleagues, as they should be careful not to get overcharged.

Easy to get along with colleagues

*A scheming supervisor whose friendliness at first is merely superficial; over time, their true colors become unmistakable.

*They often talk about mutual respect, but the person who shows the least respect is the supervisor, who says: “Don’t be afraid of humiliation.”

*They take employees’ contributions for granted and exploit both employees and vendors.

*Performance reviews are merely for show.

*Overtime is compensated with time off in lieu, but that time off may also be deducted.

*Regardless of the position, turnover is high.

If you have a strong enough heart, can withstand humiliation, and have plenty of money so you’re not afraid of being fined, welcome to the challenge!

Cultivating your character

What upper management excels at most is humiliating others, while the company itself constantly violates rules. It even stipulates that anyone who fails to dispose of garbage or turn off the power (lights, air conditioning, and computers) will be fined NT$500 per incident, which is donated to disadvantaged groups in the company's name.

At work, upper management refuses to shoulder responsibility and always pushes it onto employees, expecting them to take the blame. If you have NT$100,000 to squander freely, you're welcome to take on the challenge; perhaps you can cultivate your character. If not, please think twice.

The company’s senior management is very good at talking.

They are stubborn and self-righteous, and extremely concerned about saving face. They have a hard time listening to other people’s opinions, often misinterpret what others mean, and are prone to making sarcastic remarks that hurt employees’ feelings. They also like holding inefficient meetings for meaningless, preachy lectures.

Employee turnover is very high. Almost every project is affected by personnel changes, but the managers all consider this a minor issue. They like creating problems for employees to solve. After employees work overtime to finish their tasks, they may instead be criticized by their supervisors for working excessive overtime. This is a company that does not value its employees at all. Experienced employees generally want to leave within about three months, leaving mostly inexperienced newcomers or interns.

The company often packages work under the name of “learning,” but the compensation is genuinely not competitive compared with the industry. If you want to work there, strengthen your mental resilience first and prepare to let exploitative bosses trample all over you.
