1. The colleagues are all nice

2. The office building is fairly new, and transportation is convenient

1. High turnover rate

2. Unpaid wages

3. The Korean headquarters has it all __^^

- Convenient transportation to the company location

- Snacks occasionally—very occasionally

That's all.

1. The manager is no longer Korean; the entire team has been replaced with a new group of Taiwanese employees. The manager, finance staff, and general manager all arrived recently. The general manager left after only a few months, leaving the position vacant for several months, and the finance staff member also resigned.

2. The one remaining manager hardly ever shows up to meetings. Their attitude toward work is not that of a decision-maker. During meetings, they constantly ask how things were done at their colleagues' previous companies, relying on others for everything.

3. The company likes hiring people without work experience, so the colleagues are all very young. The youngest I encountered was born in 1996, so the website content cannot improve.

4. Some fresh graduates do not want to write articles but like to take on tasks they cannot do. In the end, they ask the colleagues responsible how to do them. They like using random headlines, get flooded with criticism from netizens, and then delete the posts themselves out of embarrassment.

5. One colleague directly plagiarized content written by another colleague. At every meeting, they kept asking whether the concert organizer had responded, solely because they wanted to use a media pass to watch celebrities for free.

5. There were originally two offices, but they were later consolidated into one. Because the company sells products, the entire space became like a warehouse.

6. Colleagues come and go, and sometimes you do not even know who has joined or left. The company lays people off arbitrarily, telling them to leave that very day.

7. The salary does not increase; it remains the same even after the probation period.

8. The company's revenue sources are very limited. One colleague's salary was once paid late. The manager often talks about the company's unstable income, yet continues spending money on unnecessary things.

Those curious about the absurdities of society can get their fill here all at once—have fun!

1. Great colleagues who are easy to get along with

2. Other than the point above, I really can't think of anything else

- The manager is extremely subjective and self-centered. Although the company is said to be Korean-owned, they unilaterally cut off all communication channels between everyone at the Taiwan company and the Korean parent company. They insist on having things their own way and act like a dictator, leaving little room for discussion—they do whatever they want.

- No matter how hard you work at this company, even if you work yourself to the bone, the manager simply doesn't recognize it. They may even say that the results you achieved were produced by someone else. You'll just feel emotionally exhausted and may even start questioning why you're sacrificing yourself for this company.

- There is absolutely no training; you have to figure everything out on your own.

- There is no clear division of responsibilities. When you join, no one clearly tells you what your duties are, so you can only anxiously look for things to do on your own.

- When performance is good, the manager says it's because they did a good job; when performance is poor, they blame employees for not working hard enough.

- The manager attacks competitors all day long, claiming that they are violating laws in various ways, while actually engaging in the same illegal practices themselves.

- When the manager encounters a problem, they only avoid it and do absolutely nothing to help you solve it. They just frantically send stickers and exclamation marks to brush it off. At this company, you can only find ways to solve problems yourself—the manager is completely unreliable.

- The manager really loves creating the illusion that they are a good person, but behind the scenes, they have also been sowing discord among colleagues for quite some time.

This company feels like one big act, and by now nothing strange surprises me anymore. If you want to develop your patience—or if you want to come here to watch the spectacle—you can come to this company for some monster-fighting and skill-grinding practice.

- Late start time

- Convenient company location

- Colleagues are easy to get along with

- Free drinks

- The supervisor is highly subjective, and rewards and punishments are based entirely on his personal biases. He is basically an emperor in his own little kingdom.

- Other than learning how to operate the system and open the combination lock, during my more than six months at this company I received no comprehensive training at all for other editorial or related duties.

- During my first six months at the company, I was never asked to attend a meeting except for contract signing and interviews, yet I heard from other colleagues that the supervisor was dissatisfied with me. The company usually has only around 12–16 employees—why can’t a small company communicate directly? I was not even given a chance to explain myself face-to-face.

- There is no year-end bonus. Since I work away from home, I’m always worried that my parents will be disappointed when I give them a red envelope for the New Year.

1. Colleagues are easy to get along with and all very capable

2. The workplace is in a bustling area with convenient transportation

3. There are occasionally drinks and snacks (really only very occasionally, and the kind you probably wouldn't want to eat)

4. There are very few people at the company, and the office is spacious, so the boss can run around

5. The benefits are good (but later I found that they are actually about the same as those at some other companies)

The company was established two years ago, and almost all of the people who joined in the first wave have either been laid off or resigned. As a result, nearly all of the colleagues are already gone. The ratio is approximately 8:2, meaning that 80% of the people were laid off. The reasons for dismissal were generally that he had gotten tired of them or was unhappy with them—completely subjective, with no objective analysis. Watching colleagues come and go is truly inexplicably disheartening, so I wanted to share my experience at the company.

1. The boss is Korean and his Chinese is not very good, so there is a deep communication gap with colleagues. He often cannot understand the contents of proposals, but then takes the concepts and ideas for himself. By the time you realize it, your work has already been presented to headquarters as his own proposal.

2. Fairness is extremely inconsistent. The extent to which he plays favorites and protects his chosen employees is so obvious that almost everyone can see it.

3. He secretly looks at notebooks left on desks. A colleague was once laid off because they had written something in their notebook. If a computer is left unlocked without a password, he will log in and look through it. He also regularly checks colleagues' personal pages and social media platforms such as Instagram. Once, during a meeting, he directly displayed a colleague's social media account and criticized it.

4. I don't know whether this is a feature of Korean workplace culture or something else, but he likes to investigate competitors and then anonymously attack them on their social media. He once directed colleagues during a meeting to defame another competitor on PTT. He even sent false information to Korean media and asked them to report it. One colleague's boyfriend is Korean, and he asked the colleague's boyfriend to help as well. The purpose was to provoke a mass reaction among Koreans in Taiwan and get Korean media to report defamatory information about the competitor.

5. Although he is a manager, he apparently has nothing else to do and spends all day packing shipments to look busy. He also fabricated facts and told the person in charge in Korea that he worked so hard packing shipments because none of the Taiwanese colleagues could understand Korean. In reality, the orders are all in Chinese, and the error and return rates for shipments handled by him are actually the highest.

6. He is indecisive, constantly changes his mind, and is incapable of serving as a decision-maker.

7. He does not like hiring colleagues with work experience and prefers high school graduates, so the depth and quality of the writing cannot improve. He also does not like hiring managers to lead the organization because he is afraid they will take his job or discover how incompetent he is. Age discrimination is very serious. With an inexperienced manager leading the company and employees' growth, everything is just like blind men trying to figure out an elephant.

8. There is no year-end bonus. He says that, as a foreign company, employees receive a share of sales, but no one has received any so far. As a result, the difference in annual salary is actually quite substantial when compared with other companies.

9. After a colleague resigns, he investigates the former colleague's new job and then slanders them in the office.

10. He often talks about how Taiwanese people supposedly work this way or that. When he feels like it, he writes sarcastic emails to everyone. When he wants to cause trouble, he digs up work proposals that were submitted months ago and shoots them down. Sometimes emails arrive on weekends and in the middle of the night. Apparently, only those who send emails on weekends and in the middle of the night are considered to be working (usually the favored employees).

All in all, there is actually much more...

I really feel quite exhausted.... Just spending all day guarding against whether the boss is going to mess with you is exhausting enough.

If you are fortunate enough, you can still come for an interview and see for yourself,

but I can only say that it's not over just because you make it through the probationary period. Good luck!

1. Most of my colleagues are very nice, and most of them are quite young (the youngest was born in 1995).

2. It is very easy to take leave.

1. The manager is Korean. Although they can speak Chinese, communication is extremely difficult. They pretend to understand things they do not, so it is basically impossible to communicate. If you express an opposing opinion, you will be targeted and pushed out of the company. Once the manager dislikes you, you can expect to be dismissed. (I have not been at the company long, but I heard that more than ten people have already left, even though the company was established only about two years ago.)

2. Moreover, the entire company is structured around having no managers, so in effect you have no opportunity for promotion. You just work as an editor until you die.

3. The starting salary is NT$35,000, with few requirements. As long as you do not have much work experience, you are fine. (The manager likes people with a blank slate, so those with a lot of work experience are actually less likely to get hired.)

4. There is no year-end bonus, so the salary is actually relatively lower than at other places.

5. The manager has very clear likes and dislikes and is extremely unfair toward people they like. You will see many unfair things at this company.

6. The manager keeps saying that the company is not making money and is losing money, making everyone anxious, while constantly wasting money on unnecessary things.

7. The manager is very good at sowing discord: speaking badly about B in front of A and criticizing A in front of B.

8. Apparently, there is a major boss above the manager. They seem useless and unable to do anything, and the manager often curses them.

9. Projects you create will first be rejected by the manager, and then taken over by the manager, who will claim the credit as their own.

10. The manager really likes reporting other media outlets, while also engaging in illegal activities themselves.

11. The manager is very calculating and never scolds people to their face, but manipulates things behind their backs. You need to be careful, because once the manager dislikes you, there is no going back.

12. If you are lucky enough for the manager to like you, they may call you a “junior manager” (that is what the manager means), but your salary will not increase, and you will have to do a great deal of pointless work. Whenever something goes wrong, you will be the first person they call in to scold.

13. During a meeting, I once heard the manager ask a colleague’s Korean boyfriend (who was not an employee of the company) to help send an email to a Taiwanese TV station reporting that a certain media company was using Korean material, simply because they wanted to bring that media company down.

14. There is too much to say—it really cannot all be put into words. If you are an obedient, meek person, you might consider coming here to be abused.
