Overall company:
1. Work is unevenly distributed, and job responsibilities are also assigned unclearly.
2. There is insufficient manpower, so one person has to handle the work of multiple positions.
3. Benefits and salaries are low; overtime is not paid, and working overtime is routine.
4. Lunch breaks are unpaid, yet employees who take a half-day leave in the morning are required to return to the company before the lunch break ends.
Regarding management:
1. The preference for men over women is extremely serious. Whenever something happens, the women get scolded, even if you believe you had absolutely no knowledge of it; they will still scold you.
2. They are emotional and irrational, and sometimes suffer from severe memory lapses. For example, they may tell you that they no longer need something, then a few days later ask, “Where is that thing from before?” When you tell them that they said a few days ago that it was no longer needed, they start losing their temper and say, “When did I ever say that?” They also frequently shift responsibility.
3. They often make unreasonable demands. When there is so much work that it cannot all be completed, they will continue assigning you other employees’ (male employees’) work, saying that those employees are busy and you need to help. When you cannot finish it, what are you supposed to do? Work overtime.
4. Whenever you take leave or clock out, they start sending you messages nonstop.
5. Everything has to be sent by Gmail, as if Gmail were a chat app.
6. Sometimes they assign you work just before the end of the day and require you to finish it that same day.
7. The company strictly prohibits using mobile phones, yet whenever they go on business trips, they love sending messages....
8. The two supervisors have different opinions and ideas. When one says that something has passed their review and you show it to the other, you immediately get severely reprimanded. However, the supervisor who said it passed review will instantly pretend it has nothing to do with them or immediately side with the other supervisor. (It makes you wonder who you were just speaking to. Was the claim that it passed review just something you imagined hearing?)
9. When an employee resigns, if the employee does not fight for their own rights and benefits, the company will pretend not to know anything.
10. Whenever the two supervisors privately discuss and decide to change work procedures, they do not inform the employees. They simply make the decision themselves and quietly implement it (as if they assume everyone will somehow know). As a result, employees are unaware of the change and are immediately blamed when they handle things using the previous method....
11. Sometimes they interfere with lunch breaks. (The lunch break is only one hour, and after finishing the work, only 20–30 minutes remain for rest.) At times, employees are required to eat and work at the same time during lunch.
12. They have previously required employees to travel for work on holidays without paying overtime, expecting employees to sacrifice an entire day off.
13. They have repeatedly altered employees’ leave without authorization. For example, when an employee applies for personal leave, they may be forced or have their leave unilaterally changed to annual leave.
Overall, this company has low salaries (although they are above the legally mandated minimum, they are really only slightly above it), high demands, a lot of overtime, a lot of work, many rules, and expects one person to handle multiple roles.
Other than the decent environment and the abundance of places to eat nearby, there are absolutely no advantages.
The legal affairs manager is emotional. She appears to have your best interests at heart, but privately she is always taking advantage of people. When I resigned, I still had unused annual leave. I said I wanted to take leave, and she asked whether I could take it later, saying I could earn more in the meantime. But now accounting tells me she never intended to give it to me.
The debt management supervisor gets upset whenever someone disagrees with her and constantly looks for trouble.
The job posting stated that there would be year-end bonuses and bonuses for the three major holidays. After nearly two years, I only received a year-end bonus in the first year, and only received a holiday bonus once.
No overtime pay.
The turnover rate is extremely high.
There have never been any salary raises.
The pay is low.
For just over NT$20,000, they expect you to handle everything.
If you cannot do the job well or cannot handle it, they say you are unsuitable for the position.
They most often say that you can easily be replaced, but when you resign, they say you are very important and can do everything.
If you point out that the workload is too heavy, they call you a “strawberry”—someone who cannot endure hardship.
Simply appalling.
