Only for executives? Sounds like a good move actually.
The shit trickles down. I foresee Saturday morning meetings for their direct reports, etc until everyone works 6 days, or signal themselves as disloyal non team players.

#13Ugh - the “burning platform”. Is it ever used authentically? Does it ever go well? I do believe that its typically inauthentic use is mostly self-defeating – people can smell inauthenticity a mile away.
Perhaps it's not even a test but a kind of warning that layoffs of managers will happen regardless. Given that, what would game suggest as an optimal playing strategy?

#15I hate Koreans for doing this to other Koreans. I will never ever get over how koreans basically turned the whole country into hell joseon and there is no escape. Korea would be a much better place if they allowed themselves some slack.
South Korea doesn't have the privileges that Canada and Finland both have of friendly adjacent neighbors and natural resources, which provide opportunities when Nortel and Nokia respectively stopped succeeding in the marketplace.
That being said, there have been terrible knock-on effects from this societal policy. Brutal work culture, low birth rates and much more.

It's a pity managers see themselves as "up". They should see themselves as below the engineers and accountants and whatever. Managing is a supporting role if done properly. The boss mentality is corrosive.

Relatively high household and govt debt levels + anaemic growth causing central bank to lag on increasing rates to the level that the market sees as worthy of the risk.
Am I close? It's the AUD model but I figure it's close.
