Really, what's the point.

Are you serious?

[endo]

I'm totally serious. I'd like to see what other people are doing and earning.

It will make looking for another job easier in terms of putting a value to yourself in regards to other posters answers.



We can't form a bloody union in this country. So the best and only way to determine ideal work conditions is unfortunately on an internet message board.


I realize some will not want to divulge personal information like this. And that's cool. But for others a thread like this could really help out.

You have had good intentions with this thread endo but I would never post so much details about my work, pay and such.

Most of the people here are pretty decent but there is a hard core group of freaks who know nothing of decency and who would not bat an eyelash about using the information that would be posted to harrass a person.

It would be wise of you to edit the information you just posted.

Man, korea is a weird place!

[agoodmouse]

Asking a man how much he earns is like asking about his wife's bra size.
