1. When the supervisor does not want to pay overtime, they will rush you to leave work on time (even if you have not finished your tasks...).

2. A small company is like an intensive training course: you can learn things quickly, so your time there is also short.

1. They ask you to carry out and produce something, but often change their mind afterward, causing you to have worked for nothing. Then one day they suddenly ask you to do it again—an endless loop.

2. They often ask subordinates to come up with new ideas, but when you actually propose something, you will only be harshly criticized in the meeting room.

3. They say they want a site inspection, but when it is actually time to go, they call you in first thing in the morning and inexplicably give you a scolding.

4. During meetings, the supervisor steers the discussion to make you support their opinions and views. You cannot speak honestly about your own ideas; they may even fan the flames and encourage colleagues to hold opposing positions.

5. I understand that employees at small companies may need to take on multiple roles and provide support, but there are “serious” instances of being assigned work that is outside one’s responsibilities!

6. The supervisor often berates employees using personal attacks or language that disrespects their professional expertise.

7. The supervisor occasionally makes verbally uncomfortable or harassing remarks about female employees’ clothing.

8. They arbitrarily lay off employees when the company cannot secure projects. If so, why not simply take summer vacation like schools do?

9. The supervisor’s long-term verbal cold violence, sarcasm toward subordinates, and so on cause employees to fear leaving work before them and even make it impossible to refuse accompanying work every weekend. In serious cases, this can lead to depression.

10. I sincerely recommend that anyone considering joining this company think it over carefully. Your self-esteem and confidence will both be worn down. On average, large numbers of employees leave after three months to half a year. Good luck to job seekers.

1. Travel to various places throughout Taiwan to organize events. (Sometimes you have to leave early in the morning, often need to carry heavy objects, and basically don’t get home until after 10 or 11 p.m.)

1. Small scale, inadequate systems, and disorganized internal information.

2. The benefits and bonus system is completely different from what was discussed during the interview; they will first make grand promises to you.

3. The company’s management department and some employees are relatives of the owner, so unfair situations are inevitable. (The company has only seven employees.)

4. The management department scolds people without distinguishing right from wrong and may even engage in personal attacks. Management also talks badly about people behind their backs and points out their faults without proposing improvements.

5. The employee turnover rate is extremely high; the average tenure is less than six months.

6. If you do not work overtime voluntarily, you are not considered a good employee, and there is no overtime pay even when you do work overtime.

7. The company’s peak season is during the year-end banquet event period; once the events end, employees are laid off before the Lunar New Year.

8. There are no so-called high bonuses, no birthday cash gifts, no year-end bonus, and no employee trips.

9. Be careful: you may be laid off at any time when you are close to completing three months. (If you have worked for less than three months, advance notice is not required for dismissal, so they may tell you to leave without any warning on the same day.)

10. Overall, the work environment is highly stressful. To those of you considering joining this company, good luck.
