Hm, seems quite oppressive. Westernization of the Korean work ethic is emotionally appealing, but who's to say what works best for them... I imagine that the mores regarding vacation time and amount of time worked will be very slow to die, and people who violate these norms (justly) will be punished socially.
- ddoolin 11y agoAnecdotally (~4 years), the vast majority of Koreans I've met detest the work culture here. Whether it works best or not will not be the deciding factor, I'd think. Many of the strict changes will likely be from the start-up world that make their way up as they are doing now. However, you're probably right particularly regarding vacation time and time worked. I've worked and have friends working at start-ups that, while are relaxed about other parts of company culture, still remain fairly antiquated when it comes to those topics.
