Pet sick leave and bereavement leave
1. At first, they tell you they want A, but after you finish it, they say they wanted B and then blame you for making it A.
2. The bosses are a married couple, which means you effectively have two bosses to answer to.
3. The work atmosphere is easily affected by the bosses’ personal emotions.
4. They often ask you to complete things within unreasonable deadlines, then make major revisions or change the plan, so you frequently end up doing work for nothing.
5. The bosses’ pets are very noisy and unruly, but you absolutely cannot scold them because the bosses will get angry.
6. The bosses’ thinking is too far-fetched: one wants to be treated like a princess, while the other often thinks they are the big boss and that everyone should support and help them.
No clocking in or out, and a 7-hour workday.
But this has already changed, so probably not anymore.
1. It is a husband-and-wife-run business, and they often disagree. Employees never know whose instructions to follow, often resulting in work being done for nothing.
2. The bosses are unable to make decisions. Things are frequently changed: they may approve outsourcing something today and then want to revise it the next day. After outsourcing, they may still request changes more than 3–5 times, leaving both employees and vendors overwhelmed.
3. The bosses bring their dogs to work. The dogs bark loudly for no reason, loud enough to be heard downstairs, and the bosses do not discipline them. Employees cannot hear clearly when communicating or holding meetings with vendors. The dogs are also allowed to urinate and defecate anywhere, and employees often step in it and have to clean it up. Although the interview stated that employees could bring pets to work, in practice only the bosses are allowed to do so.
4. They are extremely arrogant and believe that only their products are the best. They think everyone else steals their concepts and frequently criticize and mock other vendors, putting employees in very awkward situations.
5. They think they are a big deal and that every vendor should make them the top priority. They often pressure vendors to deliver things at unreasonable times, and even when it is impossible, they force vendors to squeeze in rush orders. If that is not possible, they assume the employee lacks ability. They are basically a blacklisted customer among vendors.
6. They pressure vendors to ignore food manufacturing process regulations and simply produce the products within the required timeframe. This results in quality problems throughout the entire batch. They then aggressively question the vendors about what happened and pressure them to accept deductions. They also made the entire office smell horribly of spoiled food, which employees then had to clean up.
104.com.tw → “Benefits exceeding those required by the Labor Standards Act, including: pet sick leave, pet bereavement leave, and pet adoption/childcare leave.”
You can’t even finish all the work, so of course these benefits are impossible~ (Even when a dog is sick, the boss will say, “You can bring it to work and take care of it.” If the dog is unwell, why can’t you stay home to care for it?)
If I really had to name something, it would probably be severance pay—but I think a smart person like you wouldn’t want to collect it.
Summary: Do not join this company under any circumstances, unless you believe that work is supposed to exploit you. This position covers copywriting, customer service, advertising, photography assistance, public relations, events, website back-end operations, Facebook page management, and event planning.
1. The stated working hours are 9:00–18:00, but the work is absolutely impossible to finish. After joining the company, I almost always worked until 10 p.m., or even into the early morning, and I also worked from home on holidays. Starting work early does not mean you can leave early. The boss constantly changes decisions, and things may not even be used after you finish them—wasting employees’ time and then saying that time is very precious.
2. They may only want employees who are good at flattering others or who are extremely obedient. If you have too many opinions of your own, you may even be told that you act too much like the boss and be dismissed.
3. The boss gives the impression that he thinks he is the only ethical company left in the world and is unable to acknowledge the strengths of other vendors.
4. They want employees to improve but are unwilling to train them. They will also find ways to make you do more work, tell you to pursue further education on your own, and say that the cost is not expensive at all. (Then why not provide a subsidy?)
5. They clearly lack empathy for employees, yet constantly repeat the word “empathy.”
6. There is too much to say, so I won’t go into detail.
