You would be made absolutely miserable, be assigned the most menial of tasks with ridiculous deadlines, tasks that are often largely made up and of no benefit to the company. Your boss might call your parents or your spouse and shame you, might even insult you to your face. If that doesn't make you fall in line and you finally decide to jump ship, you may be ridiculed publicly, potential employers will be contacted and told about your "work ethics", making it really hard to be employed again. You'll essentially be shunned for the foreseeable future, which in SK is generally not culturally acceptable. It's pretty harsh, but it's also important to note that this is not a culture based on individual interest.
