Disclaimer: I really don’t want to speak ill of anyone, but this company truly made me furious!

In the ten years since entering the workforce, I have never encountered or heard of a company this outrageous!

1. Low starting salary: Your company’s machine products start at at least 1,500 metric tons. As a warehouse administrator, using an overhead crane to lift processed parts weighing over 10 tons was an everyday task. I paid for my own overhead-crane license, and I gained my lifting experience at my previous machinery factory. The other warehouse administrator had never used an overhead crane, and was even afraid to use one and unwilling to practice, simply because he was older than me and had the difficult responsibility of raising a child. His starting salary was higher than mine. My mother is disabled and needs a caregiver, and my family still has rent to pay—was I not having a difficult time too? Later, this warehouse administrator crashed the overhead crane into and damaged parts, crashed a delivery truck into and damaged the company’s front gate, and crashed a forklift into my motorcycle. The great section manager then did not dare let him use the overhead crane, so all the lifting work became entirely my responsibility! Even more outrageous: three months later, he received a salary adjustment just like me, and his salary became the same as mine.

2. There were completely no designated storage locations: Finished products almost never had part numbers, so we could only identify them by looking at drawings and recognizing their shapes. I labeled the part numbers clearly, one by one, during my first six months of employment. Every supervisor involved in on-site assembly would also use a condescending, streetwise tone to mock you for being new and not knowing anything. They would often take advantage of the warehouse administrator’s absence from the second floor by not filling out material requisition forms, making no records, giving no notice, and secretly taking small parts away. Then, when it was time to conduct inventory, the section manager would question whether you had been taking inventory at all.

3. The warehouse was on the second floor, but the warehouse administrator also had to go downstairs to the first floor to receive deliveries: After the company finally, with great difficulty, got rid of the other warehouse administrator who crashed into everything, only one person remained in the warehouse. I reminded the section manager that during interviews, a new hire could be asked to operate the overhead crane once for the supervisors to see; at the very least, they should be able to assist with lifting lighter parts. Yet they simply refused to hire anyone. One person had to work like an idiot: halfway through issuing materials on the second floor, if someone delivered goods to the first floor, the on-site assembly staff would call upstairs and tell you to go down to the first floor to sign for them, because the company required receiving deliveries to be the warehouse’s responsibility and the people on the first floor were not allowed to sign for them. After you signed for the delivery and went back up to the second floor to start issuing materials, another delivery might arrive on the first floor at any time and require you to sign for it again. I estimate that I walked more than 10,000 steps a day.

4. After more than six months of employment, I was not allowed to take annual leave: To save on caregiver expenses, I applied for a 1922 assessment and asked a social worker to come to my home to evaluate how much caregiver support could be subsidized. My mother was not accustomed to the unfamiliar face of the new caregiver. When she felt unwell and needed to go to the hospital, someone had to care for her. I took two hours or half a day of annual leave, alternating with my older brother to care for my mother. I was even afraid that the company supervisors would not believe me, so I paid to obtain a medical certificate to show the supervisors of the relevant departments. However, as soon as I arrived at the company, they did not give me an opportunity to explain or present the certificate. Section Chief Hsu of the Assembly Department slammed the table and greeted me with profanity: “Young people take leave all the time, making it so troublesome for the site to collect materials.” Section Manager Wu of the Maintenance Department said: “Don’t you know that warehouse administrators at Jingduan are not allowed to take leave?” Another section chief (I forgot their surname) said: “F*** your sister, now we don’t even know whether the materials have arrived. The chairman is asking me about it!”

5. Finally, when I resigned, Section Manager Hsu still demanded that I complete a handover. Yet when the other warehouse administrator was driven out by you, he simply abandoned the work and left me to clean up the mess. Then you were still able to convert his unused annual leave into salary for him. When I insisted on resigning and informed the finance manager (a company shareholder) of the on-site supervisors’ public insults and threats against me, I never expected that the section manager would discuss with senior management how to deduct my wages. For two consecutive days, when I went to the company, they refused to process my resignation, then treated those two days as unauthorized absences and used an exorbitant daily wage to deduct all of my unused annual leave. I was so stunned that I was speechless!

Summary: I reported the company to the labor bureau for deducting an employee’s wages without the employee’s consent, and it was confirmed that a penalty was imposed. I was the one who filed the report, and I am not afraid of you seeing this. I have kept all the evidence of every one of your “great” supervisors’ verbal bullying, public insults, and threats against me. If you want to sue me, I will see it through to the end!

　　I hope everyone applying for warehouse administrator positions can see my account. Please, do not let anyone else who needs a job become a victim. Please!
