Read the community guidelinesThe document-processing position is suitable for people who like stable routines and enjoy this kind of work, but it may feel relatively tedious and boring to some people. It is more suitable for those who can sit for long periods. There is performance pressure, but it is a suitable challenge, and meeting the targets gives you a sense of achievement.
Because you deal with paper rather than customers, you can focus on meeting your own performance targets. Relations among colleagues are pleasant and peaceful, so I really like this job.
It feels good to do simple work and strive together with everyone. I like it very much. During the interview, I said that I liked working as part of a team, so deciding whether to resign has been a real inner struggle for me.
Because this is a regional issue, all I can say is that I was relatively unlucky to encounter this kind of supervisor. If you are planning to work in southern Taiwan, you may encounter a sharp-tongued female manager (although she was also transferred down from northern Taiwan…).
She speaks very directly and does not listen to explanations. At first, I thought she was simply someone who had a foul mouth but handled things very efficiently. In reality, however, communication between the staff and her also sounded strained, and she would chat behind my back while I was working, which greatly affected my ability to concentrate.
She happened not to like me, so she would constantly nag me and dismiss my efforts. I resigned because I did not want to continue suffering her psychological workplace bullying. I broke down twice in just two months, meaning I was subjected to this mental torment an average of once a month, and I could not process it.
If you join this company and happen to encounter her, please do not act too enthusiastic, and do not talk too much with your colleagues, or she will keep an eye on you. For work-related matters, it is faster to ask senior colleagues; if you ask the female manager, be prepared to get snapped at. When asking her something, be precise and do not use a single imprecise word. If you are as inarticulate as I am, you will immediately be singled out.
Because this company operates in the same manner as a government agency, the leave-request procedures and the online courses required by government agencies are somewhat tedious. This was not a drawback for me, but it was too much trouble for another person who resigned. For your reference, you are required to complete a certain number of hours of training on your own after work.
She does not often come into the office. On days when she is absent, everyone is part of a team with a very good atmosphere; after she comes into the office, everyone is on tenterhooks. The day before I resigned, she said in front of the entire office that I had said inappropriate things to new employees, causing the company to be unable to recruit people. I was already used to her nitpicking me, but being labeled as someone who said inappropriate things was extremely upsetting. If she targets you, consider whether you can withstand her unfounded assumptions and verbal torment. She is very good at making disparaging remarks. Even senior colleagues are often scolded, and it hurts to see them like that every time.
If you feel that you are not mentally strong enough, or that although you are mentally strong, you cannot accept the older-generation workplace mentality, pay close attention when you start: see whether the supervisor initially makes grand promises, and whether her words at work later become barbed. If you notice these signs, you may have encountered her, and you can start looking for your next job. You do not deserve to be nagged and verbally attacked by her until you suffer a mental breakdown.
