Read the community guidelines- Clocking in and out via a mobile app is required, which is quite convenient
- Flexible working hours; this system is genuinely practical (super convenient)
- The atmosphere between departments is harmonious (I really think it resembles the flat organization described in the 104 job posting)
- Overtime pay is provided in accordance with the Labor Standards Act (I’ve observed that colleagues also apply for overtime, and there doesn’t seem to be anything unusual)
- The job content is more or less what I expected (there are many miscellaneous tasks; it’s a small company, so that’s normal)
- The workplace has excellent natural lighting, and the comfort of the space gets full marks (the restrooms are also perfectly fine to use)
- The company is not large, so it’s understandable that many tasks may overlap or slightly cross into other fields
- You can tell that the company is working on improving its systems, but the progress is rather slow
- The benefits could use some improvement (although everything was explained clearly during the 104 interview, I still hope there will be things like holiday bonuses)
The company has implemented the 104 system for structured management. Everyone has to clock in and out, and HR has also taught us how to use the system. I heard the workplace has moved as well; it’s now a fairly spacious office, and there are no longer the restroom issues mentioned by netizens before. The colleagues get along reasonably well—there just aren’t any strange people, that’s all!
There’s a childcare center downstairs, so you’ll encounter many babies when commuting to and from work. People who don’t like children might find it pretty irritating?
Encourages participation in work for different positions and tasks beyond the scope of one's job duties
Plenty of learning opportunities
Ah, my company, you’re truly amazing! You’re practically a model for violating the Labor Standards Act—how proud you make me feel!
*Not clocking out after work is such a wonderful thing! What could be better than letting employees decide their own departure time? After all, who needs a balance between work and life?
A responsibility-based system is truly wonderful! After all, who needs overtime pay?
*Having job duties that don’t match what was described in the interview is truly wonderful! After all, who needs a job that aligns with their expertise and interests? That would only make you feel comfortable and fulfilled—how could you work hard then?
There’s a big platform here for you to show off.
People who quietly get their work done won’t be noticed; they’ll only be questioned about whether they’re not working hard or have no achievements.
People who are very good at showing off are valued even if they have no real accomplishments.
That’s how brutally cruel—and plain and unadorned—the workplace is.
Also, the boss forms little cliques and pits employees against one another, leaving people unable to understand what is going on or make sense of it.
You have to take off your shoes when you arrive at work.
Every week, someone brings fresh flowers into the office (so you can admire them); professional flower arranging.
There are so many things that I couldn’t finish writing them all. If you just want the key points: “If you want to hone your skills, you can come here; if you want to cultivate your mind, you can also come here; and if you want to experience a lack of systems, you definitely should come.”
There is an endless amount of work. One person is expected to do the work of a hundred, and work has to be pushed forward even on holidays. Messages come in regardless of whether it’s a holiday or late at night.
Some people are very good at passing off work. Even when something is clearly their responsibility, they can keep pushing it off until they have nothing to do and spend the whole day chatting about gossip, or say they are too busy and have no time. Yet these people can still thrive and be happy here (if you want to survive well, remember to learn from them).
The company has no systems, and the salary structure is impossible to understand. You don’t need to clock out after work, so you can leave as late as you like; you can even live at the company.
Communication is extremely inefficient, and meetings last for hours. Matters often end without a conclusion or keep going back and forth. There are also many people with volatile emotions: when they are unhappy, they start yelling or become online keyboard warriors.
If you want to experience it, you are very welcome. This is a suitable place to hone your skills and cultivate your mind.
- Flexible working hours (clock in, and once you have completed 8 hours, you can leave directly)
- The workplace is located in an apartment, so the environment is relatively simple
- Capsule coffee machine (limited to one cup per day)
- Double-door refrigerator, microwave, and steamer
- No overtime pay
- The company’s systems and policies need improvement
- One person is expected to do the work of ten thousand (handling everything under the sun; at times, I wondered whether I was a philanthropist)
- The position explained to you during recruitment is not what you actually do once you start working (the actual scope of work was so much broader than initially discussed that I cannot put it into words)
- Pre-employment training period = being sent straight into battle without being given time to adapt to the company culture or become familiar with your own responsibilities
- Lack of a sense of security when using the restroom
- Workplace hygiene is handled by employees on a rotating basis (not sure whether this is temporary??)
1. You clock in when you arrive at work, but you don’t need to clock out.
2. There’s no risk of forgetting to clock out.
3. Sacrificing your own health for the sake of the seniors’ health is a noble thing.
The restroom door lock often breaks, so using the restroom with trepidation is part of everyday life.
The benefits are visible but not felt.
?
Some people don't shower, and the entire company smells sour and foul.
?
Some people don't shower, and the entire office reeks of sour body odor.
No need to clock in or out for work
Toilet paper is available
The supervisor is a sexual harasser
He touches people inappropriately and is disgusting
Very good at emotional blackmail
All talk and no action
Lacks ability yet was parachuted in
First place in taking credit and shirking responsibility
Passes the buck whenever something happens
Takes all the credit when things go well
Pretends to be busy all day
Doesn't even shower, and his breath stinks
The理念 is very good, and the original intention is good; it is hidden within a residential building.
There are no benefits, and they are very petty. It seems that American-style freedom means having no freedom at all. They are prone to emotional manipulation, so you need to be psychologically very strong to work there. Do they think they’re still studying at school?
There is a very high chance that you will end up doing work completely different from the position.
It is also an opportunity to learn :)
Violates the Labor Standards Act
1. Not clocking out after work
2. No overtime pay—it's a position of responsibility!
3. No bonuses for the three major holidays. Don't even compare it to a foreign company; it's not even as good as traditional industries.
4. Benefits are only available if you happen to get lucky.
One person is made to do the work of many; capable people are overworked :)
The shared facilities are very dirty and uncomfortable.
The job description written in the interview materials and on the platform is for reference only; you will definitely be doing more than that.
Don't be surprised if you end up doing a different job.
None
Please think twice ^^ This company’s benefits are extremely poor: no overtime pay, no clock-in system, no bonuses for the three major festivals, etc.
The information on 104 is just for show.
Open-plan workspace, straightforward colleagues with no infighting, clear division of responsibilities, flat organizational structure, everyone reports directly to the boss
The company is in a relatively remote location, so you definitely need your own transportation
