Allegedly,
The entire company is controlled by a certain senior executive who is not the owner. Under the guise of management, all they do is exploit employees, using threats to force people to obey and do as instructed. I heard that recently, because of the pandemic, the entire company was once again forced to take annual leave. Those who had not worked there long enough to have annual leave could take it in advance. The only exception was that certain senior executive, who did not have to go to the company or apply for leave, so it had no impact on them. Everyone in the company is extremely fed up with them.
Also, that senior executive is involved with a female employee under their supervision. The executive has a wife, and the employee has a husband. The boss knows about this but does not seem to intend to deal with it.
Lunch boxes are provided; it is very suitable for people who want to coast toward retirement
A company with absolutely no systems whatsoever. People who do no work are completely at ease, while those who do work face a severely uneven distribution of responsibilities. There is no overtime pay and no year-end bonus. Last year, I received only one NT$1,000 bonus for the entire year, for the Mid-Autumn Festival; the boss is an extremely immature adult. Basically, meetings consist of listening to him talk by himself. Any positive opinion that does not align with his intentions is viewed as hostile; there are not many people in the company, yet the various departments have formed all kinds of cliques, and they love gossiping about one another. It is a company that is rotten from the top down; it is full of relatives and cronies—just look at those who do no work yet live well. Although the types of work are categorized, do not expect to receive any professional respect. The veterans only talk about the old days and praise themselves. Anyone considering an interview should think carefully. Just last month, employees were forced to take their annual leave (if the company makes employees use annual leave, it does not have to report it; those without annual leave or who did not want to use it were forced to take unpaid leave, and were even told that if they were dissatisfied, they would be laid off). Basically, there is hardly any business left; they are merely struggling to keep up appearances.
You can tell how this company views professionals just by looking at the qualifications required for the job posting
You get a salary and lunch, work regular hours every day, and have a lot of freedom in what you do. There isn't much to do, which is also a kind of hidden benefit~
If you're expecting benefits, there won't be any—for example, an annual bonus—because the company hasn't made a profit and is actually losing money.
Chinese lunch boxes are provided.
It is a company with very little structure, and it has not held an annual company banquet for several years. This year, there was suddenly no year-end bonus, and the boss did not explain the situation to everyone in advance, leaving those who urgently needed the money completely stunned and unsure how to make arrangements. In the end, he still chose to avoid the issue and said nothing at all about there being no year-end bonus.
