Totally agree with etops777. Fact is every organisation has its own working culture. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. No one is forcing you to stay, and I am sure CAL will not have any problem finding your replacement. Don't ever bite the hand that feeds you, be grateful.
However what promped me the most to post this reply is the fact you openly critised a place/country, calling TPE is a dump. Don't forget you are a guest in Taiwan. Just in case if you are stuck with the bonding agreement with CAL, enjoy yourselve there, have a good time. Fact is every country has its positive and negative sides to it. I advise you not to waste your time looking at negative points Taiwan has, but rather spending your time to explore and understand the positive sides this country can offer.
