Read the community guidelinesMost of the colleagues are very nice.
Everyone orders lunch and drinks together.
We try to help each other as much as possible at work.
There are three holiday bonuses.
Basically, it is a small family-run business.
The boss:
He is more or less responsible for R&D.
He jumps from topic to topic when speaking, and almost no one can understand what he is talking about.
He often fails to get to the point and sometimes says things incorrectly.
He has a great many ideas, beyond what the employees can handle,
and he will overturn things he has previously thought of (and that have already been implemented), resulting in having to rethink and redo them.
The boss's wife:
She is responsible for everything.
Many matters require consulting her and having her make decisions.
However, she has a great deal to deal with, so people often have to queue up and chase her for answers.
She does not keep track of what matters she still needs to respond to employees about, so employees have to follow up with her themselves.
Sometimes it takes one or two weeks to get an answer or a quotation.
She tends to exaggerate when speaking, so you cannot take everything she says at face value.
The second daughter:
The boss sent his daughter to the United States to establish a brand company,
with the intention of making the company look like an American brand.
She was scheduled to return to Taiwan in July 2019 to take over as head of the international trade department.
Although she has worked at other companies, we seriously doubt her work experience and abilities.
The environment is not particularly good. The sheet-metal factory is right next to very tall weeds, and there are many mosquitoes and a lot of dust.
The boss often says, “Although we do not have an XX machine and therefore do not count as a factory, we are a factory, not a trading company.”
However, the company currently has no factory registration certificate.
As a result, it cannot pass customer factory inspections. The latest development is that they are looking for a location and may have to move.
The year-end bonus is in the four-digit range. The boss's wife should know that the year-end bonus is very small, yet she mysteriously attached a letter.
In the end, the gist of it was simply, “Let us weather these difficult times together.”
Everyone actually works very hard,
but the workload is too heavy, and it is impossible to hire enough people. The boss's wife also readily dismisses people she does not like.
There are often staff shortages in different areas, so employees frequently have to take on the work of other positions.
It is a small company, after all—everyone ends up doing a bit of everything.
