Read the community guidelinesDuring the interview, they said the salary was 32,000, with a 5% monthly salary adjustment, and the year-end bonus would increase by one month for each year worked. The working hours were 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and employees were not encouraged to work overtime. They told me to come to work on Monday. Okay.
But when I got home, two days later, a girl speaking with a foreign-worker accent called me and said they had already hired someone. WTF? If you're going to mess with someone, don't do it like this.
The environment is clean; it is an office building.
Basically, the boss and the boss’s wife have absolutely no respect for employees. They use all kinds of insulting language and are extremely self-righteous—especially the boss’s wife. Whenever there are problems or issues of responsibility concerning the company, they always evade them and claim not to know anything. There are an excessive number of miscellaneous tasks—so many that you don’t know what position you applied for—and then the boss will still blame you for doing nothing but miscellaneous tasks? Even more outrageous is that, no matter how long you have worked there, if the company incurs a loss, the boss will still make you pay compensation. As far as I know, it is at least NT$2,000–5,000. Overtime pay is also extremely difficult to claim. They make things sound very nice, but in reality it is a disposable-worker company that specializes in bringing in and exploiting newcomers.
None
1. During the interview, they paint an overly rosy picture, telling you how great the benefits are, how reasonable the owner and the owner's wife are, and how excellent the company's products are. In reality, none of this is true. If the owner and his wife argue, they take their anger out on the employees, and the products they sell also have a very high failure rate.
2. There are no holiday bonuses, year-end bonus, or overtime pay. They may even tell you to clock out first and then continue working. If you take a photo of the clock-in/out attendance record, the owner will scold you and tell you to delete the photo, and so on. Of course, there is also no Labor Insurance or National Health Insurance; they will tell you to join a trade union for coverage, which is illegal.
3. They will tell you there are performance bonuses, but in reality the percentage is pitifully small. What is more, when calculating the number of people sharing the performance bonuses, they include the owner and his wife. For example, if three employees generate a month's sales, the bonus is divided among five people rather than three. Yet the owner and his wife contribute nothing at all. Sometimes, when you ask about matters only they would know, such as shipping logistics, the owner simply brushes you off and continues scrolling on his phone and playing mobile games. If you ask his wife, she will angrily scold you and tell you to figure it out yourself. In the end, after working desperately to generate sales for an entire month, you may receive less than 3,000, and even with the base salary, the total may be less than 30,000.
4. The job advertisements list positions such as graphic design assistant and packing staff, but in reality there is absolutely no distinction. Even if you are a graphic designer, you still have to pack and ship orders, and the work you do may be completely unrelated to the position for which you originally applied.
The work generally includes haggling with e-commerce PMs online to secure promotional campaigns; downloading product images for the entire company's catalog from mainland Chinese websites, modifying them yourself, changing the text to Traditional Chinese, and uploading them; and, when customers ask whether the products are from mainland China, giving evasive answers to deceive consumers.
In the afternoons, you have to manually fold boxes, insert flyers, wrap packages, and so on, all by yourself. The electronic products they purchase have undergone absolutely no safety inspections; they simply replace the packaging with packaging labeled “Made in Taiwan” and sell products that were originally made in mainland China. They are also often out of stock but require you to lie to e-commerce PMs and consumers by saying that items are available. When problems arise, employees are made to bear the responsibility themselves. They have no credibility whatsoever.
On top of that, every day you have to clean the entire company—the floors, windows, toilets, and so on. If the owner has guests visiting, you also have to make tea and coffee, buy drinks, and put on a welcoming smile.
The main point is that this still is not everything. Even these tasks alone are all assigned to one person, and sometimes every problem that occurs over the course of a day has to be handled entirely by you alone.
Finally, I strongly advise everyone: if you do not want to be treated like a slave, do not apply to this company under any circumstances.
