Modern equipment, packaging a traditional industry with new thinking

The boss is very good at providing perks, such as snacks or coffee

The salary is just okay

I dreamed that the boss had once owed an engineering contractor money for a project

When the other party came to collect the debt, the boss even found excuses to cut the price

Now the other party is upset and wants to find people in the industry to make this public. I wonder when the boss will find out

The boss really should pay attention to his volume when talking on the phone

I also dreamed that there was an office romance, and that all the good-looking women with great figures would catch the boss’s eye

Before you knew it, you’d become the other woman, and even the main partner would know

Is he playing around a little too much? 😋

I heard that some former colleagues had also been owed wages

It didn’t happen while I was employed, but it still makes me wonder whether there might be something wrong with the finances

However, seeing the boss constantly changing cars—he has a Supra, Tesla, and Benz

The company must be making a lot of money, then. Mm-hmm

Everyone is welcome to come join us~~~🤑🤑🤑

I can't think of anything worth mentioning, so I'll skip this one 🤪

There have already been plenty of complaints above, so I'll bring up something fewer people have mentioned.

If your company takes on renovation projects, it needs to have specific licenses.

Only one of the designers under the company needs to hold one; otherwise, you can't call yourself a renovation company.

However, this company is unlicensed yet still takes on light renovation projects through its website. Not long ago, someone reported them, and the owner paid to settle it. Then they went on a big rant about certain former employees. To this day, they're still unlicensed and refuse to change.

They can owe suppliers money and also haggle with others over prices. Once they manage to haggle the price down, they claim their business skills are excellent—is this a joke?

Owing money is one thing, haggling is another, but who knows whether they actually pay honestly afterward. When cash flow is bad, do they just patch things up?

I really wanted to leave a one-star review on Google, but the owner would definitely spend time arguing with me, which is incredibly tiresome. They kept saying they were going to buy the place next door to expand the business and open an Instagrammable shop. How many of those have you actually completed now, boss? 🥰🥰

I'm not a moral crusader, but I can't stand working under a company that doesn't follow regulations. So I quit, hehe.

One thing you can be sure of is that you won't go hungry. Here, you get:

The boss's pie-in-the-sky promises, with embellishments

Certain colleagues who are really good at making mistakes and slacking off

Gossip about the company in small group chats after a release

The blame your supervisor refuses to admit they want you to take

Inspirational chicken-soup posts in the company group chat

And the water that had gotten into your brain when you interviewed for this company

At least when I was working here as an assistant, going hungry was never a problem.

Also, a certain supervisor is very fierce and highly favored by the boss. The above is something I dreamed about.

The boss is truly unbelievably obsessed with saving face.

Anyone who opposes him gets verbally attacked—employees, vendors, and family members alike.

The ones he attacks the least are probably his favored X̷͇̙̗̞͙̥͖̝̱̮̀́̽̽̋͗̈́́̚̚X҉͙̦̠͈̲̜̣̫͌̊̀̈̉Ẋ̶͚͉̩̜̝̬͚̫͔͇͉̞̖̬̋͒͌̊̅.

For example: On 6/30, a Mr. Chang merely shared his experience visiting the place on Google.

The boss immediately jumped in and attacked him, saying that his comments were full of hatred.

?????? Is this persecution complex making you think everyone is out to deal with you?

Or have you made countless enemies outside and started getting scared?

The next day, 7/1, two nonsensical comments immediately appeared to add five-star ratings.

Boss Chien, you really don't need to be so afraid.

If you run a business sincerely and honestly, people won't hate you.

Besides, you said even earlier that you knew people inside Google.

So presumably those hateful one-star reviews will disappear before long, right? 🤐🤐

No comment; all I can say is that this company has only made it this far thanks to the help of many good people.

But some people do not know how to appreciate it, burn their bridges, and continue living in their own lies.

I won’t repeat what was mentioned earlier, but I’ll add a few things I know:

1. The boss borrows money from coworkers, saying they don’t have time to withdraw money, and never writes receipts.

2. They misjudge quotes and then make the designers negotiate with vendors themselves, while they walk away singing.

3. They constantly forget the things they have promised.

4. They take credit for achievements and make employees take the blame for mistakes.

5. They often make things up and lie, leaving employees to silently swallow it.

What someone mentioned earlier about senior employees being driven away was probably this kind of situation.

I don’t know the details, but it feels like they set up that veteran employee to force them out, without showing even the slightest consideration. It’s terrifying.

6. If you look at their website, it may seem very professional and beautiful, so let me point out one more thing.

Their projects featured on Happiness Space were actually done by other design companies.

They only sell furniture, yet market themselves there.

7. You cannot leave a review below five stars on Google, otherwise the boss will personally jump in and argue with you.

8. They heavily promoted on Facebook that they would have new partners in July and resume producing programs.

All I can say is, give it a rest. That script and camera work were really ⬛.

There was also content sarcastically targeting employees—what exactly are they trying to do?

9. They post about how good their performance is and how busy they are with projects, mentioning Da’an District one moment and Xindian the next, and so on.

Yet they rarely update their social media. Even the company next door promotes what it does more seriously than you do.

Are they really doing so well that they have no time, or are they getting so few orders that they have nothing to post?

As mentioned in the earlier comments, to those of you who are still considering it... run while you can.

The location is excellent, and it is considered an emerging industry.

It should be said that this thing already existed; someone simply packaged it (to use the boss’s wording).

The environment looks quite good, but after a while you may feel that it was not very well planned.

If I really had to talk about the advantages, apart from the people mentioned above, I can’t really think of any.

First of all, I’ll respond point by point to the comment from a certain fake-resignation employee—

-

“This is just a job!”

Yes, it is a job, but do you know how many people’s lives depend on it?

After becoming adults, people may spend 60 or 70 percent of their time working. Why should they put up with being mistreated?

-

“While employed, you provide labor and the boss pays your salary. If you feel that the balance is unfair, then leave.

Once the resignation has been agreed upon, the matter is settled.”

Come on—Jack Ma, one of the boss’s favorite idols, once said that people leave their jobs for no more than two reasons: the money isn’t right, or they feel wronged.

Settled? What exactly is settled? How many people actually part ways with the company on good terms?

Some people were even directly forced out on baseless charges. When they came back to claim their rights, they were repeatedly brought up and cursed at in front of successive coworkers.

Were they wrong? Perhaps. But what is wrong with protecting yourself?

If the salary and other rights were properly provided and no one felt wronged, why leave?

-

“Why not look forward and think about what could be done better, instead of continuing to stay here and spit?”

Please go say that to the Tianyan Tong team, as well as the tens of thousands of netizens who have left comments and shared their experiences here 😊

Have you ever considered that while other people spend five minutes leaving a comment, they may also be improving themselves?

They may even be more capable than when they were at this company—they just don’t show it outwardly.

Are people not allowed to talk about the shortcomings of their former company? Not allowed to expose wrongdoing?

What is this, China, North Korea, or the Qin dynasty?

-

“There really is no need to attack other employees.”

Go tell your boss that. Isn’t he the one who is best at attacking employees and vendors?

-

“What I’m trying to say is, can you let it go? Big brother and big sister.”

This is my life. It's my own FK LIFE.

I don’t need you to direct it. Thank you for your concern 💓

-

-

I can only say that what someone said in an earlier comment was right:

Where there is no wind, there can be no waves; where there is no fire, there can be no smoke.

Job seekers, there are quite a few soft-furnishing companies in the Greater Taipei area, so please think carefully.

Joining them will encourage an unhealthy workplace environment, and more importantly, it will hurt you yourself 🙏

After seeing all this, I believe there are no pros, lol.

The boss is too narrow-minded.

You can tell just by looking at the boss’s previous replies, including the content and the replies to the reviews.

The boss is very confident.

They think they are great at handling things, but little do they know that the way they handle things makes employees shake their heads.

The boss greatly overestimates their abilities.

They think they know a lot about design and engineering, but just looking at the company’s renovation project shows how poor the boss’s abilities are.

The boss has no class.

To put it bluntly, they’re just a rich, not-so-Taiwanese +9—and even less loyal than an 89.

The boss is very stingy.

On the day of the year-end banquet, they suddenly said that anyone who had been there for less than two years would not receive a full month’s year-end bonus.

Really great, huh? Who would still feel like eating at the year-end banquet? LOL

The company is large, and its location is very clearly skipped over.

The area and transportation are both good, although people who live far away still have it pretty tough.

But I heard there used to be a veteran-level senior employee from Keelung.

Commuting is fairly convenient for me, but I guess I should just wash up and go to sleep.

.

The equipment is pretty good, and the benefits are decent too.

There are all kinds of snacks and drinks—even alcohol.

There’s also time that is directly kept in the drawer, and people post Stories every now and then 😂

As for the products, the quality of the partner factories is also pretty good.

At least most customers are satisfied—pay attention to my wording: most customers

The boss has too bad a temper and scolds anything that doesn’t suit him.

Although the people before me have already said this, I still want to emphasize it once more.

.

The boss often emphasizes that a startup company is bound to have gaps in its structure.

It’s been more than seven years already—does he still have the nerve to call it a startup company?

I heard that in the past, designers were required to get clients to leave five-star Google reviews.

If a review wasn’t five stars, or even contained criticism, the boss would personally fire back and keep attacking until the other person deleted the comment.

A Ms. Lin who was dissatisfied with a product she bought (or maybe that was her surname—I forget) left a comment, and the boss wrote a thousand-character response explaining why she didn’t take legal action against them.

Wow, is this how you do business? Can’t you communicate properly?

.

And then, every so often, there are some comments that look obviously fake.

Things like “the editor replies very quickly,” simply posting a photo, or saying something meaningless—probably just to wash the rating from 4.9 stars back up to 5 stars.

They absolutely cannot accept criticism and require employees to ask their friends to help fabricate reviews.

A business owner who claims to make a living through Google—does Google know you’re playing with it like this? 😏

.

Finally, regarding what someone mentioned earlier about the boss complaining about former employees: it is absolutely true.

Although I don’t know them at all, and as the previous colleague said, many people keep their mouths tightly shut,

one older sister still secretly revealed the general situation to me.

After hearing it, I was simply dumbfounded, so I started considering resigning.

I don’t want to end up being framed and forced out by the boss one day when I’m no longer useful either.

To that long-serving senior employee: you’re truly pitiful.

You worked like a beast, yet your colleagues were afraid you were the boss’s confidant, so you must have been seriously isolated.

How can this kind of workplace culture possibly be open and healthy?

And they still have the nerve to say in interviews and on their website that this is a place where talent gathers 😒😒

.

I advise friends who come here to investigate this company on Tianyancha:

What they say on 104—that if you’re very self-disciplined, you’ll live very comfortably—is all lies.

Only if you win the boss’s favor (with good looks, a good figure, and by showing cleavage) will your hard work be valued.

Everyone else is just a disposable chopstick of a different grade.

To use that meme of the Black man holding up signs: Run, now.

.

Lastly, I want to express my respect to that senior colleague. I don’t know the full story either, but I heard you were treated terribly.

I heard that benefits such as overtime pay were obtained through your efforts.

If I ever get the chance, I really hope to talk with you and learn how to survive in a bad workplace environment 🙇🏻

The company is fairly large, seemingly around 90 ping.

Whether the design looks good is a matter of personal opinion, but it’s true that they’ve invested a lot of money and thought into it ✨

The equipment is pretty good too; at least the 3D software doesn’t lag much.

The furniture placed around the office can also be used for sleeping or working—you’re not told that you can’t touch it.

There’s a scooter you can ride to buy lunch or coffee 🛴

There are bonuses, overtime pay, and so on, and the salary system is reasonably well planned.

And then... hmm, I guess that’s about it.

The previous comments already said everything I wanted to say—what’s left for me to talk about? 😂😂

The main issue is that the boss really needs to improve their emotional management; they get angry at the drop of a hat.

They can get angry about big things, small things, or even things that have nothing to do with you.

Also, you’d better have a high SQ talent stat.

They say they’re going to work on new projects, but never do; I never know what they’re so busy with.

They say they’ll adjust the schedule, then ask you to please come in and help out on Saturday.

They say quality control and such can just be handled by the warehouse staff, but there aren’t any colleagues specifically assigned to deal with it.

If there aren’t enough people, just hire more—not have everyone running around frantically like headless flies 😵‍💫

I don’t know the details, but the boss often bad-mouths several former employees.

They talk about how terrible and awful those people were, bringing up things from who knows how many years ago just to keep beating a dead horse.

When I asked the current employees at the time, they all kept tight-lipped. Was it really that serious? It was baffling.

If you happen to see this (judging from the comments below, the boss does come by to check), I hope you’ll take some advice for the company～～

Stop talking about how much you’ve studied and how much you know—what really matters is actually doing the work.

Stop showing favoritism toward certain employees. Everyone else is a person too; we’re all just working for a paycheck.

Why do some people get berated like dogs, while others get chauffeured around in a Tesla with all the VIP treatment?

And stop bad-mouthing former employees too; no one knows whether those stories are true or not.

It can mislead employees into hating people they don’t even know, which is honestly quite uncomfortable to watch.

If you say you want to make big money, then show the drive and effort needed to make big money instead of only caring about appearances.

Work harder and stay grounded. Maybe you’ll be able to open a branch soon. Keep it up～～🤞🤞🤞

The content of the previous reviews is basically 60% worth considering.

Just take a look at the photos of the company environment on their 104 page and you’ll know.

The content of the previous reviews is basically 95% worth considering.

As a certain comment said: “There’s no smoke without fire” 🌊

Whether it’s true or not, friends, compare the reviews carefully and make your own judgment 😌

The company environment is beautiful.

The restroom is very clean.

You can sleep on the sofa during the lunch break.

The colleagues are easy to get along with.

Everyone has dual monitors, which is pretty great.

There are afternoon snacks every Wednesday.

There is a coffee machine, microwave, and snack table.

There are lots of activities, such as watching movies, riding bicycles, playing badminton, group meals, and more~

The boss asks employees to buy bananas—maybe he’s a monkey, because he gets angry when there are no bananas.

The boss asks employees to buy Louisa Coffee for him, even though it’s just downstairs.

The boss asks employees to make protein shakes for him—maybe he’s still a baby drinking milk.

The boss will suddenly announce a meeting and hold it right away, showing no respect for the employees.

The boss also holds meetings during lunch breaks.

The company has many activities and group meals, but the meals have a spending limit. If you spend more, you have to pay extra—it must be pretty poor.

The boss directly curses at employees using profanity. His emotional management could definitely use improvement.

- Absolutely never change the content of employment contracts; every change is better than the original terms

- Absolutely never delay payments to vendors; asking employees to front expenses is also impossible

- Absolutely never leave a pile of matters undecided, only to make a decision at the last minute and then claim that you made the decision and hold you responsible

- Absolutely never have the boss constantly change what they say, leaving you forever unclear about the conclusion (equivalent to being unwilling to take responsibility for their own words)

- Absolutely respect gender equality and never deliberately hire a larger number of attractive young women

- Absolutely face negative attention candidly; never make baseless complaints, impersonate employees to leave comments, or threaten people with legal action to delete comments

- Absolutely honor agreements with others and never violate them

- Absolutely never cut a vendor’s costs because of their own mistaken quotation, causing the vendor to suffer a loss

- Absolutely never make mistakes—the number-one soft-furnishings brand in Taipei, after all

- Absolutely never prevent designers from showcasing their abilities; supervisors will definitely give them the freedom to try

- Absolutely never quote the wrong price and then pressure vendors to accept a lower cost

- Absolutely take responsibility; supervisors will never shift their own mistakes onto subordinates or take credit for subordinates’ achievements

- Absolutely never have any strange office romances between supervisors and employees

- Absolutely never ask employees during working hours to handle a supervisor’s personal errands

EX: making a protein shake

- Absolutely never be subjected to sexually harassing verbal attacks, such as remarks about who is too fat, who has large breasts, who dresses provocatively, and so on

- Absolutely subsidize employees’ parking fees

- Snack cabinets are far too lame—you can simply store alcohol in the office and pick it up to drink during work, with a small table fully stocked with alcohol for entertaining guests

Other aspects

- Absolutely never say one thing and do another

- Absolutely never have supervisors remotely monitor employees’ work through surveillance cameras

- Absolutely never require employees to come to work during officially declared disasters (natural disasters, epidemics, or human-caused disasters)

- Absolutely never demand things beyond an employee’s capabilities and then reprimand them

None of the above has ever happened at this company—if anything sounds familiar, it is merely a coincidence

I haven’t seen any obvious shortcomings; it’s a perfect company.

If there is a shortcoming, it must be that your eyes are afflicted by karmic obstacles.

Recently, our company has repeatedly received malicious reports from former employees. Is there a construction business license?

You can check for yourself (simply enter the responsible person’s name and the company name):

https://cloudbm.cpami.gov.tw/CPTL/cpt0602m.do

On a job-search and workplace-review website, we suspect that malicious negative reviews were left by former employees who had resigned, and we are pursuing legal procedures. Before the comments are removed from the platform, job seekers are asked to make their own judgments and remain neutral!!!!!!

The environment is comfortable

The space is large

The environment is beautiful, but the salary and benefits do not measure up. The interviewer seemed not to know much about the Labor Standards Act?

I unintentionally overheard the interviewer making very personal comments about the body and appearance of a previous interviewee.

It actually felt quite bad.

I asked the current employees for their opinions.

They only said to be careful and think it through carefully?

It felt like they were very afraid of being controlled by the boss?

Later, I ran out of time and didn't dare ask more questions.

Other than that, the work environment is probably comfortable.

Our company has been maliciously smeared by a former employee, anonymously defamed, and subjected to interference with its business reputation. After persuasion proved ineffective, this case entered judicial proceedings on 2021-09-11.

I am the person in charge, Jian Wei-en, and I bear legal responsibility for every statement I make.

I would like to say a few words to “Ms. Chiayi Li,” a former employee who voluntarily resigned on June 18, 2021.

It was difficult to establish this company and get it to where it is today. Whether regarding division of duties, work rules, training in concepts, salaries and bonuses, or the profit-sharing system, everything was regulated and clearly explained upon joining, and we have continuously improved employee benefits.

When you applied for the job, we also clearly told you that we seek innovation and change and adjust to respond to the market—that every day here is a war!

If you want to work peacefully in a stable, unchanging enterprise, this place will not be suitable for you! You agreed and also signed a labor services agreement.

This is a company that improves and corrects its shortcomings every day. Everyone works hard to move toward our goals, and you were once part of it.

At the same time, we respect every employee by giving them the greatest possible degree of freedom at work, and we update our partners as much as possible about the company’s current situation and goals.

I often say that a company is like a sports team: everyone is responsible for their own position, and together we move toward a common goal.

Perhaps one day what you want will be different. It may not entirely be the company’s problem; perhaps your goals have changed. It is that simple. You can change battlefields and start again, and we will also offer our blessings!

Ms. Li, during your employment you held an important position in the company and had the highest level of authority. You were highly respected, developed by the company, and given the most resources. As the person in charge, I placed extreme trust in you. I only asked you to improve your work processes and your attitude toward vendors, colleagues, and customers, to act reasonably, and to cooperate with company policies in addressing new tasks and development needs. Who would have thought that this would not suit you?

You were unwilling to accept guidance from supervisors and insisted on working according to your own methods. You spread rumors and false statements, and your work attitude deteriorated in the later period. These matters do not need to be discussed.

Before resigning, you violated work rules and caused actual losses to the company in connection with certain cases. When supervisors and colleagues asked about it, you were unwilling to respond. Skipping this part,

let us speak directly about what you did after resigning and how it affected the company and me.

1. You deliberately approached senior employees of our company and induced them to take screenshots of important group-chat messages containing internal company information, financial information, and other materials.

2. You induced current employees to use our company’s resources for your own profit-making activities outside the company.

3. You spread rumors and sent text messages to multiple current employees telling them not to come to work.

4. You posted false comments about our company on major job-search platforms.

I will simply mention these few points; I will not describe the others one by one.

Anonymous reviews on major job-search platforms are your freedom, but I would also like to use this platform to say to you: If this company was really so terrible and caused you so much harm, why did you stay here for nine months? Was I controlling you? If there were illegal matters, why did you not pursue legal channels?

1. Why did you incite so many current employees to resign, yet no one listened to you?

2. You used the LINE messaging app multiple times to send messages to our current employees. Why did they not respond to your messages?

3. You called the company several times. Why did they not answer your calls?

Ms. Chiayi Li, please think carefully about the harm caused by everything you have done to us today.

“I firmly believe in the cycle of cause and effect; when the time comes, it will surely return to oneself.”

I tolerated you for more than a month. I also sent a 200-character message to hear your concerns and asked people connected to both of us to persuade you.

I intended to reconcile with you, but it was useless... Ms. Chiayi Li would not accept it. Then we will see each other in court!

Anonymous posting online may mean you do not have to take responsibility; with the keyboard in your hands, there is nothing I can do!

Jian Wei-en, aka Tao Yuanming of Xindian 2021-09-11

1. Because resources were scarce when the company was newly established, I, as the person in charge, did not fully understand the rights and interests of both employers and employees. Simply put, I did not understand the law and thought that verbal agreements with employees would be sufficient as long as both parties reached a consensus. Little did I know that much of the content violated Taiwan’s great Labor Standards Act!

Everything was fine during the period of employment, and there were hardly any problems.

When it came time to resign, you wanted to argue over everything, and suddenly nothing counted—the Labor Standards Act was paramount!

Thank you to the anonymous reviewer, who may be the former employee who voluntarily resigned, Ms. Chiayi Li, for teaching me how to conduct myself, helping me understand the principles of society, and broadening my horizons. I am grateful to you and wish you all the best.

As for the Labor Standards Act, no problem.

All right, we will definitely comply.

We also immediately hired professionals to draft a new labor services contract and review it for any provisions that disregard employee rights and interests or violate the law.

Working hard

The company needs to seriously address its own problems. We should part ways amicably.

The company is very close to the MRT station, about a 5-minute walk.

The office is bright, large, spacious, and very clean!

The departmental layout provides more personal workspace,

so it is less likely to be affected by other people's work.

Everyone has a dual-monitor computer.

The exhibition area is integrated with the office, and the space is centered around a sense of design.

Overall, the office atmosphere is very good~

Whether bosses or employees, everyone has a background related to design.

Communication is smooth, and ideas can be shared and discussed with one another!

As a startup, the company currently does not have a complete set of systems and is discussing and improving them with lawyers.

-

There are suspicions that former employees may have maliciously left negative reviews on a job-seeking and workplace review website. Legal proceedings are currently underway. Before the comments are removed from the platform, job seekers are advised to make their own judgment and remain neutral.

The company has clear goals and annual plans, and managers are willing to spend time communicating with employees to ensure everyone is aligned.

The boss is easily soft-hearted and keeps giving colleagues who repeatedly make mistakes chances... It feels a bit excessive.
