Read the community guidelinesThe interviews were pretty good at first, and the boss was polite. Even when mistakes were made at work, it was fine and no one was reprimanded.
At first, the boss made everything sound very good.
But really, just take it with a grain of salt. After carefully calculating it, the salary actually seems to be lower than the wage required by the Labor Standards Act. The company employees are also difficult to get along with, especially a Ms. Yang, who is notoriously good at making things difficult for employees. The boss does not handle matters either, and leaves everything to Ms. Yang.
The work assigned by Ms. Yang is also not very clear (because she is extremely emotional). Of course, if an employee makes a mistake, it is the employee's responsibility. Ms. Yang also assigns work based heavily on her mood, and even bullies longtime employees relentlessly (I genuinely think she is the boss's wife, but apparently she is not). Setting these emotional issues and the lack of a complete work system aside, there is absolutely no opportunity for a salary increase in this job. Even the basic working hours are 08:00–18:00.
The lunch break is only one hour. Employees are required to take a 1.5-hour break only when Labor Standards Act inspectors come for an inspection that day. In addition, group insurance should basically be paid by the company, but the cost is indeed deducted from employees' salaries. With deductions here and there, the base salary does not comply with the Labor Standards Act. The work environment is also extremely dirty—even the bags of Lian Hwa flour are made here—and there are fleas in the factory. It is truly terrifying.
The interview atmosphere was very good at first, and the boss was also quite nice. Even when problems arose unintentionally, they were still handled through communication, and I learned a few things.
The colleagues were generally easy to get along and communicate with, except for Ms. Yang. Any mistakes were all counted against you, simply because the other colleagues had relationships with her. The boss left everything to Ms. Yang without getting involved—is this her company or whose???
Ms. Yang really likes to scold you first regardless of whether you are right or wrong, and then deal with the matter~~ Her emotional management is extremely poor.
She would verbally tell you that it was fine and that she did not want to communicate with you, but privately she would go to the boss and gossip about the matter ^^.
The salary was very low, but there was a lot of work. There were major problems with work allocation, making it very difficult to get things done.
Also, when discussing salary-related matters, the boss did not comply with the Labor Standards Act. How could the salaries given to those young employees be that low? I even suspected that I had heard incorrectly. Although the boss's tone was relatively pleasant, his words actually showed disrespect for the employees' abilities.
The office was very dirty.
