This is a predatory company operating within the Veterans Affairs Council vocational training system. It is a Xiao family business, with the owner, the owner’s younger brother, son, daughter, and relatives controlling personnel and finances, so don’t expect any career development.

The owner teaches classes at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue exceeding NT$10 million looks down on the hourly wages at the Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is immediate access to soldiers who have just left the military and are still naive and unaware of the dark side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. Soldiers are easy to deceive, after all—that’s exactly the kind of person scam groups like.

As for why this company is unscrupulous:

1. Working environment: There is a morning meeting at 8 a.m. where the owner assigns tasks and work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he berates people. Clocking in is done through a cloud-based system, which means that at exactly 5 p.m. you have to clock in while at the job site or on your way back from it. That way, the company can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, pretend this doesn’t exist. For newcomers, when you return from a job site, the owner uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic remarks and stares from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs under the pretext of practice. For senior employees, it’s actually worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the owner. None of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a company sends a crew out, the foreman covers meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. You even have to pay for the boxed meals sold at the construction-site canteen, and water goes without saying—if you fill up too much water from the office, the owner will complain.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Things are much more pleasant at the job site than at the company, because returning to the company means entering an oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: naturally, they can only vent the pressure imposed by the owner on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, pay: New hires earn less than NT$30,000, with a three-month probation period. Raises depend on the owner’s mood and are NT$500 each time. Leadership positions are just as ridiculous, with only an additional NT$500. There are technicians who have worked at the company for three or four years and earn less than NT$40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays just to exceed NT$40,000. The holiday overtime pay is laughable—calculated out, it is even less than what you would make as a day laborer, at most just over NT$1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the owner closely monitors how you use them, and you have to pay for them if they break. So basically, everyone there prepares their own tools. There is one upside: when you quit, you can simply take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t the company been sued? This goes back to what I said earlier: soldiers are naive and easy to deceive. Therefore, no labor disputes have erupted yet. After brainwashing people through his classes, every few months he manages to trick another fool into joining his company. I’m writing this long post just to save one person at a time. Low-voltage electrical professionals are in very short supply in the market, so don’t let this company deceive you.

This is a black-hearted company parasitizing the Veterans Affairs Council’s vocational training system. It is owned by the Hsiao family, with the boss, the boss’s younger brother, son, daughter, and relatives controlling personnel and finances, so don’t expect any career development.

The boss of this company teaches classes at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with fewer than 20 employees and annual revenue exceeding ten million is not interested in the hourly teaching fee at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is first-hand access to those who have just left the military and, still unaware of the dark side of society, are naive soldiers.

That is how he can carry out his exploitation plan. After all, soldiers are easy to deceive—scam groups love this kind of target.

As for why it is black-hearted:

1. Work environment: There is a morning meeting at 8 a.m. where the boss assigns tasks and work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he will also yell at people. Attendance is recorded through a cloud-based system, which means that at 5 p.m. sharp, you have to clock out at the work site or on your way back from the site. That way, they can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, just pretend this does not exist. For new employees, when you return from the work site, the boss uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic remarks and stares from veteran employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do miscellaneous tasks in the name of practice. For veteran employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the boss. None of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a company sends a work crew out, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. They even charge you for boxed lunches sold at the construction-site canteen, and water goes without saying—even filling too much water from the office dispenser will get you scolded by the boss.

4. Workplace atmosphere: It is much more pleasant at the work site than at the company, because returning to the company means entering a high-pressure environment. This is also why the veteran employees here all have such terrible attitudes: the pressure imposed by the boss can of course only be vented on new employees.

5. Most importantly, the pay: New employees earn less than 30,000 per month and have a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and are 500 each time. Leadership positions are also laughable—just an extra 500. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years and earn less than 40,000 a month; they have to work on holidays to exceed 40,000. The holiday overtime pay is especially ridiculous: calculated out, it is less than what you would make doing day labor—at most just over 1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the boss keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay for any damage. So basically, everyone there prepares their own tools. There is one advantage, though: when you resign, you can take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t the company been sued? This goes back to what I mentioned earlier: soldiers are naive and easy to deceive. Therefore, there have not yet been any labor disputes. After brainwashing people through his classes, every few months he manages to trick another fool into joining his company.

The owner of this company teaches at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue of over ten million would not be interested in the hourly teaching fee at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is first-hand access to those simple, newly discharged soldiers who are still unaware of the dark side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. Soldiers are easy to deceive, after all—scam groups love this kind of target.

As for why this company is unscrupulous:

1. Work environment: There is a morning meeting at 8 a.m. where the owner gives instructions and assigns work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also berates people. Clocking in is done through a cloud-based system, which means that at 5 p.m. you have to clock out while you are still at the job site or on your way back from it. That way, the company can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, treat this as if it doesn’t exist. For new employees, when you return from a job site, the owner uses various forms of emotional pressure, sarcastic remarks and watchful behavior from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs under the pretext of “practice.” For senior employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the owner. None of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a regular company sends a work crew out, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. You even have to pay for the boxed meals sold at the construction-site convenience store, and water goes without saying—if you fill up too much water from the office, the owner will complain.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Being at a job site is much more pleasant than being at the company, because returning to the company means entering an oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: the pressure imposed by the owner can only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: New employees earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the owner’s mood and are 500 each time. Even taking on a leadership role gets you only another 500. There are technicians who have worked at the company for three or four years and earn less than 40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays just to exceed 40,000.

For experienced workers, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the owner, none of which is counted as overtime.

That way he can carry out his exploitation plan. After all, soldiers are easy to deceive—scam groups like this kind of target the most.

As for why it is unscrupulous:

1. Work environment: There is a morning meeting at 8:00 a.m. where the boss assigns tasks and work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also yells at people. Clocking in is done through a cloud-based system, which means that at 5:00 p.m. you have to clock out while still at the job site, or on the way back from the job site, so that overtime pay can be avoided.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, assume this does not exist. For beginners, when you return from a job site, the boss uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic remarks and glaring from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do miscellaneous tasks in the name of practice. For senior employees, it is actually worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the boss; none of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a company sends a work crew out, the foreman covers meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing—even the boxed lunches sold at the construction-site canteen are charged to you. As for water, don’t even ask; if you fill too much water from the office dispenser, the boss will lecture you.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Being at a job site is much more pleasant than being at the company, because returning to the company means entering a high-pressure atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: naturally, the pressure imposed by the boss can only be taken out on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: New hires earn less than NT$30,000, with a three-month probation period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and are NT$500 at a time. Even supervisory positions get only an additional NT$500, which is ridiculous. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years but earn less than NT$40,000 a month, and they still have to work on holidays to exceed NT$40,000. The holiday overtime pay is also laughable—calculated out, it is less than what you would earn doing day labor, at most just over NT$1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the boss keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay for any damage. So people there basically prepare their own tools. There is one benefit: when you resign, you can simply take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t the company been sued? This goes back to what I said earlier: soldiers are easy to deceive and naïve, so no labor dispute has broken out yet. After brainwashing people in his classes, every few months he manages to trick another fool into joining his company. I’m writing this long post simply hoping to save at least one person at a time. Low-voltage technicians are in short supply in the job market—don’t let this company deceive you.

This is a predatory company operating within the Veterans Affairs Council’s vocational training system. It is a Xiao family business, with the owner, the owner’s younger brother, son, daughter, and relatives controlling personnel and finances, so don’t expect any career development.

The owner teaches at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue of over 10 million would not be interested in the hourly teaching fees at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is first-hand access to those who have just left the military and are still naïve about the darker side of society.

That way he can carry out his exploitation plan. Who wouldn’t be easy to deceive? Military personnel are exactly the kind of people scam rings like.

As for why this company is unscrupulous:

1. Work environment: There is a morning meeting at 8:00 a.m. where the owner assigns tasks and work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he berates people. Attendance is clocked in through a cloud-based system, which means that when 5:00 p.m. arrives, you have to clock out while still at the job site or on your way back from it. That way, they can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, just assume this does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a job site, the owner uses various forms of emotional blackmail, as well as senior employees’ sarcasm, stares, and peer pressure, to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs under the guise of practice. For senior employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the owner—none of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a company sends a work crew out, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. They even charge you for the boxed meals sold at the construction site’s canteen. There is no need to mention water—if you fill up too much water from the office, the owner will complain about it.

4. Workplace atmosphere: It is much more pleasant at the job site than at the office, because returning to the office means entering an oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: the pressure imposed by the owner can only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, pay: Newcomers earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the owner’s mood and amount to 500 each time. Leadership positions are also laughable—just an extra 500. There are technicians who have worked at the company for three or four years and earn less than 40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays just to exceed 40,000. The holiday overtime pay is particularly ridiculous: calculated out, it is less than what you would earn doing day labor—at most just over 1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the owner keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay for any damage. As a result, people there generally prepare their own tools. There is one benefit: when you resign, you can simply take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t the company been sued? This goes back to what I mentioned earlier: military personnel are easy to deceive and naïve, so there have not yet been any major labor disputes. After brainwashing people through his classes, every few months he manages to trick another fool into joining his company. I’m writing this long post simply hoping to save one person at a time.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue exceeding NT$10 million looks down on the hourly teaching fees at the Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is to gain first contact with those who have just left the military and are still naïve about the dark side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. Who doesn’t know that soldiers are easy to deceive? They’re exactly the kind of people scam rings like most.

As for why it’s exploitative:

1. Work environment: There is a morning meeting at 8:00 a.m. where the boss assigns tasks and work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also berates people. Attendance is recorded through a cloud-based system, which means that at 5:00 p.m. you have to clock out while still at the work site or on your way back from the site. That way, the company can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, assume this doesn’t exist. For newcomers, when you return from a work site, the boss uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcasm and intimidating looks from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs under the pretext of “practice.” For senior employees, it is actually worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the boss—none of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a company sends a crew to a work site, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing; it even charges you for boxed lunches sold at the construction-site convenience shop. There is no need to mention water—even filling up too much water from the office can get you reprimanded by the boss.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Things are much more pleasant at the work site than at the company, because returning to the company means entering an oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: the pressure pushed down by the boss can, of course, only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, pay: Newcomers earn less than NT$30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and are NT$500 each time. Even supervisory positions are a joke—just NT$500 more. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years and earn less than NT$40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays to exceed NT$40,000. The holiday overtime pay is ridiculous: calculated out, it is less than what you would earn as a day laborer—at most just over NT$1,000.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation scheme. After all, soldiers are easy to deceive; scam groups love this kind of target.

As for why this company is unscrupulous:

2. Overtime pay: Basically, assume this does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a worksite, the owner will use various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic comments and stares from veteran employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs in the name of practice.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Things are much more pleasant at the worksite than at the company, because returning to the company means walking into a low-pressure atmosphere. This is also why the veteran employees here have such terrible attitudes: the pressure imposed by the owner can only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, pay: Newcomers earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the owner’s mood and are 500 each time. Promotion to a supervisory position is equally laughable—just 500 more. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years and still earn less than 40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays to exceed 40,000.

For veteran employees, it is actually worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get scolded by the boss—none of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a regular company sends a work crew out, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. You even have to pay for the boxed meals sold at the construction-site canteen, and water goes without saying—if you fill up too much water from the office, the boss will complain about it.

4. Workplace atmosphere: It is much more pleasant at the work site than at the company, because returning to the company means entering an atmosphere of depression.

None of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a legitimate company sends a work crew out, the foreman covers meals and water. This company provides nothing at all.

1. Work environment: There is a morning meeting at 8 a.m. where the boss gives instructions and assigns work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also berates people. Attendance is clocked through a cloud-based system, which means that when 5 p.m. arrives, you have to clock out at the work site or while returning from the site, so that the company can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, assume this does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a work site, the boss uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic remarks and stares from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs in the name of practice. For senior employees, it is actually worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the boss; none of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a legitimate company sends a work crew out, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. They even charge you for the boxed meals sold at the construction-site canteen, and water goes without saying—if you fill too much water from the office, the boss will complain about that too.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Being at a work site is much more pleasant than being at the company, because returning to the company means entering an oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes. Naturally, the pressure imposed by the boss can only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: Newcomers earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probation period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and are 500 each time. Leadership positions are just as ridiculous, with only another 500. There are technicians who have been at the company for three or four years and earn less than 40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays to exceed 40,000. The holiday overtime pay is laughable—calculated out, it is less than what you would earn doing day labor, at most just over 1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and makes you buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the boss keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay for any damage. Therefore, people there basically prepare their own tools. There is one benefit: when you resign, you can simply take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t the company been sued? This goes back to what I said earlier: soldiers are easy to deceive and naive, so there have not yet been any major labor disputes. After being brainwashed in his classes, every few months some fool gets tricked into joining his company. I am writing this long post simply to save at least one person at a time. Low-voltage electrical professionals are in very short supply on the market, so don’t let this company deceive you.

This is a rotten company parasitizing the Veterans Affairs Council’s vocational training system. It is a Hsiao family business, with the boss, the boss’s younger brother, son, daughter, and relatives controlling personnel and finances, so don’t even think about any career development.

The boss of this company teaches at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue exceeding ten million is not interested in the hourly teaching fee at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is first-hand access to those simple-minded soldiers who have just retired from the military and do not yet understand the dark side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. Soldiers are easy to fool, after all—that’s exactly the kind of person scam gangs like.

As for why it’s rotten:

1. Working environment: There is a morning meeting at 8 a.m. where the boss gives instructions and assigns work; sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also curses at people. Attendance is recorded using a cloud-based system, which means that as soon as 5 p.m. arrives, you have to clock out at the worksite or while on your way back from the worksite. That way, they can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, pretend this thing doesn’t exist. For newcomers, when you return from a worksite, the boss uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic remarks and stares from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs in the name of “practice.” For senior employees, it’s actually even worse, because after returning to the company, you have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get berated by the boss. None of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a legitimate company sends a work crew out, the foreman covers meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. They even charge you for the boxed meals sold at the construction-site commissary. As for water, don’t even get me started—if you fill up too much water from the office, the boss will lecture you.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Things are much more pleasant at the worksite than at the company, because returning to the company means entering a pressure cooker. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes. The pressure imposed by the boss can, of course, only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: New employees earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and are 500 each time. Even taking a leadership position is laughable—it only adds 500. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years and earn less than 40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays just to exceed 40,000. The holiday overtime pay is particularly ridiculous: calculated out, it is less than what you would earn doing day labor—at most just over 1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the boss keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay for any damage. So, basically, everyone there prepares their own tools. There is one advantage: when you resign, you can simply take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t it been sued? This goes back to what was mentioned earlier: soldiers are easy to fool and naïve. As a result, no labor disputes have broken out so far. After brainwashing people through his classes, he manages to trick a sucker into joining his company every few months. I’m writing this long post just hoping to save one person at a time. Low-voltage technicians are in very short supply in the market, so don’t let this company deceive you.

This is an unscrupulous company operating within the Veterans Affairs Council’s vocational training system. It is a Xiao family business; the owner, the owner’s younger brother, son, daughter, and relatives control personnel and finances, so don’t expect any prospects for advancement.

The owner of this company teaches classes at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue exceeding NT$10 million looks down on the hourly teaching fees at the Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is immediate access to those who have just left the military and are still naïve about the dark side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. Who wouldn’t think soldiers are easy to fool? Scam groups love this kind of target.

As for why it is unscrupulous:

1. Working environment: There is a morning meeting at 8 a.m. where the owner assigns tasks and work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also berates people. Attendance is recorded using a cloud-based system, which means that at 5 p.m. you have to clock out at the worksite or while you are on your way back from the worksite. That way, the company can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, pretend this doesn’t exist. For new employees, when you return from a worksite, the owner uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic comments and looks from veteran employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs in the name of “practice.” For veteran employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the owner. None of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a company sends a work crew out, the foreman covers meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. You even have to pay for the boxed lunches sold at the construction-site canteen. And as for water, don’t even ask—if you fill up too much water from the office, the owner will lecture you.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Things are much more pleasant at the worksite than at the company, because returning to the company means entering a high-pressure environment. This is also why the veteran employees here all have such terrible attitudes. Naturally, they can only vent the pressure imposed by the owner on new hires.

5. Most importantly, the salary: New hires earn less than NT$30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the owner’s mood and are NT$500 each time. Leadership positions are just as laughable: an additional NT$500. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years but earn less than NT$40,000 per month, and they have to work overtime on holidays to exceed NT$40,000. The holiday overtime pay is particularly ridiculous; calculated out, it is less than what you would earn doing day labor—at most a little over NT$1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the owner keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay for any damage. So people there basically prepare their own tools. There is one benefit, though: when you resign, you can simply take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t anyone sued? This goes back to what I said earlier: soldiers are easy to fool and naïve. As a result, there have not yet been any labor disputes. After brainwashing people in his classes, he manages to lure another fool into his company every few months. I’m writing this long post simply to save one person at a time.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue of over ten million would not consider the hourly pay at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center worthwhile.

4. Workplace atmosphere: It is much more pleasant at job sites than at the company, because returning to the company means entering an atmosphere of pressure. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: the pressure imposed by the boss can, of course, only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, pay: New hires earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and are 500 each time. Leadership positions are ridiculous too—only an additional 500. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years and earn less than 40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays to break 40,000. The holiday overtime pay is laughable: calculated out, it is less than what you would make as a day laborer, at most just over 1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the boss keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay if they break. So people there basically prepare their own tools. There is one benefit, though: when you resign, you can just take them all with you.

7. Why haven’t they been sued? This goes back to what was mentioned earlier: soldiers are naïve and easy to deceive, so no labor dispute has erupted yet.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue exceeding NT$10 million looks down on the hourly teaching fees at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is immediate access to those who have just left the military and are still inexperienced about the darker side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. Soldiers are easy to deceive, after all—scam operations love this kind of target.

As for why the company is unscrupulous:

1. Work environment: There is a morning meeting at 8 a.m. where the boss assigns tasks and work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also berates people. Attendance is clocked through a cloud-based system, which means that at 5 p.m. sharp you have to clock out while still at the work site or on your way back from it. This allows the company to avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, assume this does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a work site, the boss uses various forms of emotional manipulation, sarcastic remarks and stares from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company to do odd jobs under the guise of practice. For senior employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get scolded by the boss. None of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a company sends a work crew out, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Things are much more pleasant at the work site than at the company, because returning to the company means entering an oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes. The pressure pushed down by the boss can, of course, only be taken out on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: Newcomers earn less than NT$30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and are NT$500 each time. Leadership positions are equally laughable, with only an additional NT$500.

The owner teaches classes at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue exceeding ten million would not look twice at the hourly teaching fees offered by a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is first-hand access to those who have just been discharged from the military and are still naïve about the dark side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. Who wouldn’t be easy to deceive when it comes to soldiers? Fraud rings love this kind of target.

As for why it is predatory:

1. Work environment: There is a morning meeting at 8:00 a.m. where the owner gives instructions and assigns work; sometimes he also curses at people when he is in a bad mood. Clock-in is done through a cloud-based system, which means that at 5:00 p.m. you have to clock out while still at the job site, or clock out on your way back from the site. That way, they can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, assume this does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a job site, the owner uses various forms of emotional blackmail, as well as sarcastic remarks, intimidating stares, and peer pressure from senior employees, to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs under the guise of “practice.” For senior employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the owner—and none of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a company sends a crew to a job site, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing.

4. Workplace atmosphere: It is much more pleasant at the job site than at the office, because returning to the office means entering an atmosphere of constant gloom. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: the pressure imposed by the owner can only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: New hires earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the owner’s mood and are 500 at a time.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, pretend this thing does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a work site, the boss will use all kinds of emotional manipulation, sarcastic remarks and stares from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs under the guise of practice. For experienced employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company, you have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the boss—none of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a regular company sends a crew to a work site, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. You even have to pay for the boxed lunches sold at the construction-site commissary, and water goes without saying—you can even get lectured by the boss for filling too much water from the office.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Things are much more pleasant at the work site than at the company, because returning to the company means entering a tense, oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes. The pressure imposed by the boss can, of course, only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: Newcomers earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probation period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and are 500 each time. Leadership positions are also laughable: +500. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years and earn less than 40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays to exceed 40,000. The holiday overtime pay is particularly ridiculous—when calculated, it is less than what you would make doing day labor, at most a little over 1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the boss keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay for any damage. As a result, people there basically prepare their own tools. There is one upside: when you resign, you can simply take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t the company been sued? This goes back to what I said earlier: soldiers are easy to deceive and simple-minded, so no labor disputes have erupted yet. After brainwashing people in his classes, every few months he manages to trick another fool into joining his company. I am writing this long post simply hoping to save at least one person. Low-voltage electrical technicians are in high demand, so do not let this company deceive you.

This is a black-hearted company parasitically operating within the Veterans Affairs Council’s vocational training system. It is a Hsiao family business, with the boss, the boss’s younger brother, son, daughter, and relatives controlling personnel and finances, so don’t expect any career development.

The boss of this company teaches classes at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with fewer than 20 employees but annual revenue exceeding ten million is not interested in the hourly teaching fee at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is first-hand access to those soldiers who have just left the military and are still unaware of the dark side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. After all, soldiers are easy to deceive—scam rings love this kind of target.

As for why this company is unscrupulous:

1. Working environment: There is a morning meeting at 8:00 a.m. where the boss assigns tasks and work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also curses at people. Attendance is recorded through a cloud-based system, which means that once 5:00 p.m. arrives, you have to clock out at the work site or while you are on your way back from the site. That way, the company can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, assume that this does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a work site, the boss uses various forms of emotional manipulation, sarcastic remarks and stares from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do odd jobs under the guise of “practice.” For senior employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the boss. None of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Generally, when a normal company sends a work crew out, the foreman covers meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. You even have to pay for the boxed meals sold at the construction-site commissary, and there is no need to mention water—if you fill too much water from the office dispenser, the boss will lecture you.

4. Workplace atmosphere: Working at a site is much more pleasant than being at the company, because returning to the company means entering an atmosphere of oppressive tension. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: naturally, the pressure imposed by the boss can only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: New hires earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and amount to +500 each time. Leadership positions are equally ridiculous: +500. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years but earn less than 40,000 a month, and they have to work overtime on holidays to exceed 40,000. The holiday overtime pay is especially laughable; calculated out, it is less than what you would make doing day labor—at most just over 1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the boss keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay if they break. As a result, people there basically prepare their own tools. There is one advantage: when you resign, you can simply take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t the company been sued? This goes back to what was mentioned earlier: soldiers are easy to deceive and naïve, so there have not yet been any major labor disputes. After brainwashing people in his classes, every few months he manages to trick another fool into joining his company. I am writing this long post simply hoping to save at least one person at a time. Low-voltage technicians are in very short supply in the market, so don’t let this company deceive you.

This is a predatory company parasitic on the Veterans Affairs Council’s vocational training system. It is a Xiao family business, with the owner, the owner’s younger brother, son, daughter, and relatives controlling personnel and finances, so don’t expect any career development.

The owner teaches classes at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue exceeding ten million does not think much of the hourly teaching fees at the Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is to come into contact at the earliest opportunity with soldiers who have just been discharged and are still naïve about the dark side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. Soldiers are easy to deceive, after all—scam groups like this kind of target the most.

As for why this company is unscrupulous:

1. Working environment: There is a morning meeting at 8:00 a.m. where the owner gives instructions and assigns work; sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also berates people. Work attendance is clocked in through a cloud-based system, which means that at 5:00 p.m. you have to clock out at the job site or while on your way back from it, so that the company can avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, pretend this thing does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a job site, the owner uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic remarks and stares from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do miscellaneous tasks under the guise of “practice.” For senior employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the owner—none of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a company sends a work crew out, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. You even have to pay for the boxed lunches sold at the construction-site shop, and water goes without saying—if you fill up too much water from the office, the owner will complain about it.

4. Workplace atmosphere: It is much more pleasant at the job site than at the company, because returning to the company means entering an oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: the pressure imposed by the owner can only be taken out on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: Newcomers earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probation period. Raises depend on the owner’s mood and are 500 each time. Even leadership positions are laughable—only 500 more. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years and earn less than 40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays to exceed 40,000. The holiday overtime pay is ridiculous: calculated out, it is even less than what you would earn as a day laborer, at most just over 1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and makes you buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the owner keeps a close eye on how you use them, and you have to pay for any damage. Therefore, people there basically prepare their own tools. There is one upside: when you resign, you can simply take them all with you.

7. Why hasn’t the company been sued? This goes back to what was mentioned earlier: soldiers are naïve and easy to deceive, so no labor disputes have erupted yet. After brainwashing people through his classes, every few months he manages to trick another fool into joining his company.

It is a Hsiao family business, with the owner, the owner’s younger brother, son, daughter, and relatives controlling personnel and finances, so don’t expect any opportunities for development.

The owner of this company teaches at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, the owner of a company with nearly 20 employees and annual revenue of over ten million would not care about the hourly pay at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is first-hand access to those who have just retired from military service and are still innocent and unaware of the darker side of society.

That way, he can carry out his exploitation plan. After all, soldiers are easy to deceive, and this is exactly the kind of person scam syndicates like.

As for why the company is unethical:

1. Work environment: There is a morning meeting at 8:00 a.m. where the owner assigns tasks and work. Sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also berates people. Attendance is recorded through a cloud-based system, which means that as soon as 5:00 p.m. arrives, you have to clock out at the work site or while on your way back from the site. This allows the company to avoid paying overtime.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, pretend this does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a work site, the owner uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic remarks and stares from veteran employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company and do miscellaneous tasks under the pretext of practice. For veteran employees, it is actually even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get scolded by the owner—all of this is completely excluded from overtime calculations.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a legitimate company sends a work crew out, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. You even have to pay for the boxed lunches sold at the construction-site convenience store, and there is no need to mention water—if you fill up too much water from the office, the owner will even complain about it.

4. Workplace atmosphere: It is much more pleasant at the work sites than at the company, because returning to the company means entering a tense, oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the veteran employees here have such poor attitudes: the pressure imposed by the owner can only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: Newcomers earn less than NT$30,000, with a three-month probation period. Raises depend on the owner’s mood and are NT$500 each time. Leadership positions are equally ridiculous, with only an additional NT$500. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years and still earn less than NT$40,000 a month; they have to work overtime on holidays to exceed NT$40,000. The holiday overtime pay is laughable—after calculation, it is even less than what you would make doing day labor, at most just over NT$1,000.

6. Tools: The company does not provide basic tools and expects you to buy your own. Although there are shared power tools, the owner closely monitors how you use them, and you have to pay for any damage. As a result, people there basically prepare their own tools. There is one advantage, though: when you resign, you can simply take all of them with you.

7. Why hasn’t the company been sued? This goes back to what was mentioned earlier: soldiers are easy to deceive and innocent, so there have not yet been any major labor disputes. After the owner brainwashes people through his classes, every few months another fool is tricked into joining his company. I am writing this long post simply hoping to save people one at a time.

This is a predatory company parasitizing the Veterans Affairs Council vocational training system. It is itself a Hsiao family business: the boss, the boss’s younger brother, son, daughter, and relatives control personnel and finances, so don’t expect any prospects for development.

The boss takes classes at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

Basically, a company boss earning over ten million a year with fewer than 20 employees is not interested in the hourly pay at a Veterans Affairs Council vocational training center.

What he wants is first access to those who have just left the military and, still unaware of the dark side of society, are simple and trusting soldiers.

That way he can carry out his exploitation plan. Soldiers are easy to deceive, after all—scam rings love people like that.

As for why it is predatory:

1. Working environment: There is a morning meeting at 8:00 a.m. where the boss gives instructions and assigns work; sometimes, if he is in a bad mood, he also berates people.

2. Overtime pay: Basically, treat this as if it does not exist. For newcomers, when you return from a worksite, the boss uses various forms of emotional blackmail, sarcastic remarks and stares from senior employees, and peer pressure to force you to stay at the company, supposedly for practice but actually to do odd jobs. For senior employees, it is even worse, because after returning to the company they have to fill out all kinds of forms, submit official documents, and get yelled at by the boss; none of this is counted as overtime.

3. No meals provided: Normally, when a legitimate company sends a work crew out, the foreman provides meals and water. This company provides absolutely nothing. You even have to pay for the boxed meals sold at the construction-site convenience store, and as for water, don’t even ask—if you fill too much water from the office, the boss will criticize you.

4. Workplace atmosphere: It is much more pleasant at the worksite than at the company, because returning to the company means entering an oppressive atmosphere. This is also why the senior employees here all have such terrible attitudes: the pressure imposed by the boss can, of course, only be vented on newcomers.

5. Most importantly, the salary: New hires earn less than 30,000, with a three-month probationary period. Raises depend on the boss’s mood and are 500 each time. Leadership positions are also laughable, with an extra 500. There are technicians who have been with the company for three or four years but earn less than 40,000 a month, and they have to work overtime on holidays to exceed 40,000.
