I like your writing style lush.. It's interesting to hear from one of the few people (percentage wise) not teaching in Korea.

Keep it up!

Good to hear how things are on the office side of things. I'm used to work-study and chef work where things are stricktly by the hour, so even the little bits of "not working but can't go home time" I have at my hagwon took some real getting used to.

as interesting as your work stories are to some, i have to agree with tsgarp and say it's not different in large firms in any country. most large firms have too much staff and there are always new recruits and people being forced out. as well, the amount of work the staff has to do is always in flux.

and, as much as your situation describes the typical large firm, it does not describe korea in any enlightening way. i work for a large firm here and am always busy. i'm usually the first in and one of the last out. i do not have days where i can slack or take it easy. it was no different when i worked in new york. "same same" everywhere, just people speaking a different language.

as much as you try to paint a picture of your situation being so unique and interesting, it really isn't. there are many foreigners working in seoul in the corporate world. they just don't happen to frequent this site.

if your going to put your stuff up for people to read, you have to be willing to accept criticism. otherwise your just in it to appease yourself on your agrandization.

I liked it well enough... I personally found it nice to read something about working in Korea NOT in an English teaching job. I also found it quite refreshing compared some of the other current threads... but unfortunately I did not have the time to study it and reflect on its literary value and how it will stand up to the test of time... I just read it and enjoyed it.
