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??

Your company got cute korean babes or not?

Sorry even in local Chinaman company also like this..

Top 3 biggest in equity size

Tldr

1) boss seems nice
2) cum back from holiday after new years holiday got terminate
3) boss is scumbag now

Samseng?

Yep can confirm.

Thats why angmo is the best employer.

so u terminated right? cari kerja baru tahun baru la

I want to ask also. Recently read a lot of ahem ahen manhwa.
Are those korean babes like to drink air haram and then easily get drunk?

if you're looking for serious and sincere comments, i suggest you move this to serious /k..

The bank name start with P?

Tldr 2

1) ts go repair kereta during work hours
2) boss beh song and terminate ts

Conclusion: beli lah kereta Proton aircond number 1 in the world

that's not micromanage, they simply doesn't like you.

4) I didn't know cannot sleep during work
5) I didn't know being late for work is bad
6) I didn't know taking breaks during working hours is bad

diu... u never watch any korea movie/drama? watch some before u go there

seniority is their culture, the high up do shit, u down there also cannot say anything or else prepare to get expel only, in that case u actually better monitor everywhere and fit in lol... dont bring in malaysia style there la.. mempersiasuikan malaysian haha

This means most Koreans are ular at work

Well, thats how it should be. Company pay you for you time, but you steal their time to do your stuff. Kalau dalam islam, kamu tiada konsep amanah. Want to do personal stuff, do it in your personal time. Refill gas after work cant?

People no ask you greet customer, why would you that? Be professional

Wait till you work for ikankering

ts ular manyak lattew

kennot argue with this conclusion.
for all the wrong they did, this was one right thing they did that no one can take away from them

Your employer is just making excuses to terminate you... this is not micromanage

Korean and Japan same. Crazy culture. All the bowing to show senior respect. Work late everyday, boss no go home, you no go home.

Japan and Korea nice place to retire if you have money, definitely not a place to work.

how much are they paying you

Usually when i go ular, i go to toilet.. so pipu cannot see me ular

based on my Korean friend drinking is their culture. so almost every day they will go for a drink but not all easily get drunk.

Because you're just salesman. Unless u have great customer base if not just an expense for them.

got take korean amoi pic before leave?

Different branch different culture

my client is korean
i feel you bro

even korean who work oversea cant brain how korean company work...same with japan...

good luck finding new job...

I dont belib u. 1 side stori. Ular too much. Just need to get rid of you, doesnt need any good reason.

See no 4.. farking car aircon. Can not fix off work ah. Will die or car can not move ah?

lol how to do sales if everything also have to get permission. Ke they hired u for backoffice sales work lol

I work in Korea company in Korea before.

No such issues as you mention

You know why your guys are micro manage ?

Try to reflect your self in front of a mirror.
Usually those kena mm are because their bosses don't trust them and have no faith in these people.

Think about it

Probably the boss didnt like you.
He can find any reason to terminate you.

mereka tidak suka kalau kamu buat kerja tanpa memberitahu mereka apa yang kamu ingin buat. Mereka tidak akan kongsi pengetahuan mereka kerana mereka takut ditindas. mereka juga sangat mengharapkan pujian akan kerja yang mereka laksanakan.

Budaya yang tidak sihat.

Have experience working together with a South Korean conglomerate.

Bloody micromanage and annoying - every single little thing want to do according to their way. Like even writing a sentence in Minutes of Meeting - die die want it written exactly their way even though grammar was all over the place.

They were very very hard to admit they were wrong even it was very obvious. Really putar like crazy.

Ayam current job i came on time
Boss told me no need to come so early, see other peoples also come in late
So ayam nowadays come in 1 hr late, and chow 30mins earlier

they terminated you when you were still under probation?

no m.c.
no cuti .
only sunday off.
work 12 hours a day.
min wage.

it's nothing new in malaysian companies, not just chinaman company. what TS is saying is that he never expected it from korean company. lol

is ur comapny same building with Huawei ??

anyway feedback from my friend wrking in korean company....most koreans are lazy ass but getting high paid as an Expat. They misused the budget and splurge all day long , in the end all claims from company.

dont know how to pitch for a project....but they thought yamseng and hoo haa can win a project....which is an ultimate facepalm...no proper presentation

they dont hire a person based on qualification....they hired based on how good u jilat the boss, better if u are not smart/low requirement so u dont complain much and just follow order .....

in office ....they will wear slippers and shower in office....they like to stock up alot of milo/coffee/instant noodles....till staff curi oso its ok everything just claim from company...

and many others fund abusing in marketing campaign/budget/etc.....fark up company

Jeez... don't mind me asking but are you working in Samsung Malaysia?

you are oegug-in

nuff said.

Baru tau ke.
I also work in a very big korean company in Malaysia.

korea has one of the highest suicide record.. it comes with a reason

if direct samsung mayb not that bad kot ?

if other subsidiaries companies...i heard mostly rubbish....

You join idol company ah?

Worked at samseng before, my korean boss chill je

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.

Korean and Japan are worst to work with .....

Knn i've seen Korean crazy bosses scold there staff up and down ...scold and shout at them like a dog until they cry

Korean treating staff like a piece of crap

Ya kah?
I heard from my neighbour's uncle's boss's daughter's boyfriend that the branch managers all one kind one and velli the powderful, like little napoleons. All same same.
Maybe I kena tipu lah

Ur boss got tiu u until like dog???

My korean pipe supplier diu his subordinate like no tomorrow. His employees see me also bow like the japs. I also curious

question is how much your boss paid you...then can decide if it is worth the shit

Their novel is enough to teach people their working culture.

I don't see the company got problem but you.

You watch alot of kpop and drama, but don't get their culture?

Your English is just terrible.

Now, please state out the celery they give

1) Not samseng punya company... other la, i'm in representative office handle malaysia business and asean side. U could have gauge my salary liao... ain't clerical work kecik salary.

2) yes, they do abuse the perks n fund. I no need worried for lunch and heavy expensive meal here as he always pay for everything. Wear slipper in office, YES u r correct.

3) terminate under probation. just come in and ask me no need come liao.

4) yeah i do believe is he doesn't trust me at all too. Communication breakdown as well as they always keep me in dark about company progress or even the sales pricing... How ironic as a country manager.

5) Yes, you can't correct them , especially with other peers around... they need muka. ALOT.

6) my entitlement isn't fair as well, 10 days annual leave, plus initially saying that my salary inclusive of all payment of the EPF & socso. That means i have no EPF & SOCSO contribution... i argue cannot, i must follow malaysian labour law.

7) they do scold ppl macam doggie, as not following their way of working style.

Congrats TS

OK... So bila nk expose the name of the company?

so i take it you are sales manager for the region, meaning there are people that report to you. maybe your boss expects you to just read those reports and make a report out of that report?

yeah i know it's stupid without first hand input from the ground.

How much you get paid in this company?

have you seen the china, china company??

Fuck man.. scary as fuck too. Why asian companies gotta be scary places to work at?

jeez..

standard /k salary 20k









divide by 10.

TS jobless now?
Any compensation received from the termination?

To TS, its not that Korean company is strict but Malaysia company is too tolerance.

1. You eat your breakfast during office hours
2. Come late 15 minute still acceptable
3. Aunt/Uncle/nephew/cousin sick also can get EL.

Thats the reason they gave high pay...

Work with arabs in middle east is better. Work like slaves but salary/benefit like CEO.

ts kena conned by korea company, enough say..hahah

ask them pay you out
- 1 month per year service
- late notice (pro-rate it )
- balance AL

hosay, TS will get pocket money for CNY liao

when they come here to work, they are truly mind blowned..

pm company name

TS
If you are the boss of the company, you ok or not if most of your employees acting like you

All above..... tak mau expose la, market small only. i have my principal... i just wanted to rant and also hear more feedback from u all only jek...

I'm the country sales manager, but i don't have subordinates. I only handle the malaysia distributor sales, and making sure they repeat their order each month. My whole office only comprise of 4 people. very small group... I'm now on alot of paperwork basis , but it is still a fucking boring job without me having any authority nor chances to go out market visit understanding the trend and info gathering.

No compensation as it is under a 3 months probation.

and another rule forget to explain, NO MC on same day you apply. Gotta inform earlier on any MC otherwise everything else is just tipu MC for him......
Sick come to work 1st and he will observe your condition before granting you any permission for the MC at panel clinic.

China's companies i haven't encounter yet la, mind to share also..???

lucky that you're terminated.

probably the best decision by getting terminated

yep, maybe it's good. as i really can't suit their working styles... such crazy rules.... I'm a lenient guy. I don't control over my subordinates in such strict rules. happy staff , happy environment.
it's not that i allow them to be this manner, but provided they don't get over the board with illogical nonsense reason or abuse the chances i've given to them la. Ultimately, i just want you to work properly and getting the job done right.

Going everything by the book is not my working style. U r not robot.

I value a more positive work ethic and vibrant environment. Being micromanaged from each perspective is not healthy. I believe in leveraging each one’s strength to bring out the best effective working modal to benefit the company. But first, we need to acknowledge that everyone is different in their own best way. Then we can build a better team from there.

Shit I am watching those k drama i also scared to join k company

They treat the boss like some kind of medieval Lord.

chinaman company lagi teruk! my staff mc asked me call him ask why mc and tomorrow call doctor check the mc izzit true and what sick

I've seen Samsung Malaysia (principal) advertising Marketing manager positions repeatedly on Jobstreet last year and the year before that.
When I asked my creative agency (who is also handling Samsung account), she said staff turnover is high due to staff cannot tahan.

Same as the work attitude

If you got Ebola need him to see you

‘Make sure you cough in his face as proof you sick

If Malaysia leave system is crazy, i wonder what he thinks of Europeans leave system.

this one is called being professional bro, east asian style. not micromanaging. you need to be extra discipline working for an east asian company.

ouh great, i see good candidate to join my company. welcome to apply.

Discipline is one thing. If NOT EXPLAINING or JUSTIFY your reason is totally unacceptable la. Are u totally committed discipline yourself???
Tiu, talk cock.

Don't be a jerk boss pls, Tq.

Samseng kah?

“Professional” is delivering work on time and at the expected quality. Not die die show face in the office for the sake of it only.

Lol i worked in korean company for 5 years in Pasir Gudang Johor and i dont need to get the consent of ny boss every damn time.

Bodo repair car during working hours ...

why do you think korewans and japanese people like to work in malaysia?

tbh, thier work culture not for human one.

if you're not the boss you're basically kuli. there is no such thing as cincai. if they ask you to eat shit then you better eat shit.

but you are a boss oh. like a leader, kena fired . your subs see u ma very malu later?
