The longest-serving employee has only been there for five years.
Fake kindness, but they stab you in the back. Extremely scheming. Newcomers get caught in the crossfire for no apparent reason.
If you are pushed out one day, you will find it inexplicable.
During the handover of work, the person providing training is careless. Newcomers are expected to follow instructions like robots and not ask so many questions; otherwise, they are labeled as difficult and accused of having a bad attitude. Someone who is even planning to resign may threaten to make the newcomer and herself an either-or choice, saying that if the newcomer is chosen, she will have to leave immediately. In the end, it seems she did not actually intend to leave immediately...
There is virtually no tolerance for mistakes....
The job requires too much flexibility, and business trips are often required.
You frequently have to go out, making the job seem like sales work....
The manager has a loud voice and often raises it at work....
They make it seem as though you have made some huge mistake...
There are suspicions of tax evasion in the accounting practices.
The accounts are divided into A and B accounts, supposedly to help employees save on taxes...
They claim that otherwise employees would have to pay a lot of tax, and other such nonsense, so everything is recorded in internal accounts...
Family members or nominees are used to pay employees separately.
The practices are complicated and excessive... They are largely unnecessary and only make things difficult for employees. Most importantly, you have to act like a robot to survive there.
With this kind of job, it is no wonder they cannot find anyone to hire.
There is no need to waste time interviewing or even considering working there.
A small company with little prospects... fewer than 20 employees...
It only takes on landscaping projects for government agencies. Sometimes the profit margin is poor and they work for nothing, while there are also many bad debts that cannot be recovered, which are simply ignored.
You have to worry about whether you will be paid on time, and salaries are delayed. This time, the March salary will not be paid until April 8, rather than being paid before the holiday... It leaves a poor impression.
Flexible working hours: 8:00–18:00
The interview stated that the year-end bonus is 1.5–5 months’ salary
But most people may see it without actually receiving it
Co-managed with Hongly Landscape
A company with an extremely high turnover rate
Most people don’t stay for even a year, and quite a few people say they’ll resign together...
Starting salary is NT$28K; those with some experience may get NT$31K
At least 3–5 years of experience
Some people also leave because the compensation is poor...
Many new hires want to leave before completing even one week of probation; some come for only one day
Annual leave is not handled according to the Labor Standards Act either, due to excuses about annual calculations
This violates the Labor Standards Act; those who continue staying turn a blind eye to their own rights
There are a great many tasks, and they are very miscellaneous, plus a pile of forms to complete
At the monthly meeting, everyone takes turns reading from a script, with no real discussion or review
I don’t know what the point of the meetings is...
New hires often cannot fill the gaps; the handover period is too short for them to absorb the work. Even people who studied the relevant field may not be willing to do it, so they can only find people from unrelated fields... or hire interns during the winter and summer breaks
The manager is an impatient person and also likes to joke around with colleagues... If you are slow-paced, you may be constantly criticized for one thing or another, and eventually resign because you can’t stand it.
The manager’s scope of responsibility is extremely broad, so everyone is often looking for her...
The manager arrives at the company at 8:00 and usually leaves work at 17:00. Colleagues still need to contact her after she leaves, so you have to be good at managing your time during working hours.
If you are a new hire with questions, you may feel at a loss...
In short, I strongly advise against trying to work there. If you go, you will quickly want to leave...
