the wise korean guy

An insight of korean life from my ex-boss, HD:

Korean companies like Samsung, LG has really good employer welfare. They even pay for the kid's University tuition fees. There is a downside nevertheless, their overall salary is lower, higher work load and stress level and long working hours.

Korean businesses are actually very efficient like the Japanese. The order of furniture is delivered within the same day.

It is actually true that parents will give money to their kids for plastic surgery. Not as exaggerated as we think, it is usually some simple double eyelid operation.

Korean New Year falls exactly the same day as Chinese New Year and they too, give money to their children, not in angbao but in the form of a white envelope. They usually stop giving them once they reached university. They give white envelopes in any other occasions: weddings, funerals, birthdays etc.
