Well, my stories is about working in a Korean company is totally depressing & stressful.

I tot i found a jewel getting into a korean company, big company... but later on to find out that it is another chapter of horror movie.

At first, everything seems fine, Korean boss seem friendly, slowly to learn up from scratch, office environment is small & clean. Many perks (snacks, coffee machine, supplements, etc) and each lunch makan good good Boss belanja.

But the nightmare is , actually each day you are living a testing trial period. monitor you without saying. I'm a proactive salesperson, that's what i should do as a sales.

On the 1st day of new year work, come back office and received a sudden termination. Saying i'm not suit to his korean culture style working. Fine.....
but when explaining the rather unreasonable answer to me, I'm shocked on how different our working style is...

1) Cannot late a single day.... not 10 mins( even with given notice earlier due to unusual heavy traffic)
2) Cannot yawn and feeling sleepy during work. (tiu, looking at monitor all day squeezing brain not lethargic?? , besides, not that i directly sleep !!)
3) Priority of consent is important, ALWAYS DO GET consent/ approval before doing your things. Even if it is a new year greeting emails to customers.
4) Even in chatroom, there is a case where i go out take things from customer, on the way back office & my car aircon spoil no gas, i just needed 10 mins to stop by workshop to refill gas.. i notify it and take pics send in groupchat, BUT this is an offence... Said why does not consult him 1st to get approval before refill. Not to simply notify and think it is ok.
5) the manners in treating him like a very big boss is similar in Japan.. hierarchy seniority is very important in korean culture. the respect you must show to them is very important. the salute and so on...
6) they don't trust ppl easily, always keep u in the dark... as a sales, but not expecting me go out market visit and expect me can get all info sitting in my chair, funny...

this is simply toooo micromanage. Hire me in such high salary to do clerical job meh? I'm confuse....

you all encounter this kind of funny behaviors Korean company / korean boss culture??  Is it that hard to deal with??

I've worked in my company for more than a decade. Never have I been late before due to unusual heavy traffic. I go to work 1.5hrs earlier before working hour.

Well, my stories is about working in a Korean company is totally depressing & stressful.

I tot i found a jewel getting into a korean company, big company... but later on to find out that it is another chapter of horror movie.

At first, everything seems fine, Korean boss seem friendly, slowly to learn up from scratch, office environment is small & clean. Many perks (snacks, coffee machine, supplements, etc) and each lunch makan good good Boss belanja.

But the nightmare is , actually each day you are living a testing trial period. monitor you without saying. I'm a proactive salesperson, that's what i should do as a sales.

On the 1st day of new year work, come back office and received a sudden termination. Saying i'm not suit to his korean culture style working. Fine.....
but when explaining the rather unreasonable answer to me, I'm shocked on how different our working style is...

1) Cannot late a single day.... not 10 mins( even with given notice earlier due to unusual heavy traffic)
2) Cannot yawn and feeling sleepy during work. (tiu, looking at monitor all day squeezing brain not lethargic?? , besides, not that i directly sleep !!)
3) Priority of consent is important, ALWAYS DO GET consent/ approval before doing your things. Even if it is a new year greeting emails to customers.
4) Even in chatroom, there is a case where i go out take things from customer, on the way back office & my car aircon spoil no gas, i just needed 10 mins to stop by workshop to refill gas.. i notify it and take pics send in groupchat, BUT this is an offence... Said why does not consult him 1st to get approval before refill. Not to simply notify and think it is ok.
5) the manners in treating him like a very big boss is similar in Japan.. hierarchy seniority is very important in korean culture. the respect you must show to them is very important. the salute and so on...
6) they don't trust ppl easily, always keep u in the dark... as a sales, but not expecting me go out market visit and expect me can get all info sitting in my chair, funny...

this is simply toooo micromanage. Hire me in such high salary to do clerical job meh? I'm confuse....

you all encounter this kind of funny behaviors Korean company / korean boss culture??  Is it that hard to deal with??
