Chuseok Bonus: What is it really?
A can of tuna? A tuna set? A Spam set? A soap set? A pair of socks?

Workers on average will receive 80 percent of their regular salary for the holiday, down 6 percent from the previous year. Companies picked sluggish business as the main reason to drop the value of their holiday bonuses, the KEF said. |

I got a ton of seaweed and a ton of peaches. Really nice thought, but seaweed doesn't really get my goat. Apparently it's the really expensive stuff as well. |

All the Korean teachers got big boxes of fruit but I didn't get so much as a "enjoy your holiday." Wonder if it's because they get paid less for more work? |

Even slaves get more than us. I got grape seed cooking oil (expensive) and a large box of dove products . No cash..bu t then you can expect much from a hog-the-won school. |
