|
Can someone confirm the following -
이 사 (ee sah) = VP? Or Senior VP? Or neither?
대표이사 (deh pyo ee sah) = President? CEO?
And if the 이사 person is your direct boss, how would you refer to them formally in Korean? 이사님 (ee sah neem)?
Would you always call the President 사장님 (sah jahng neem)?
Thanks. |

So my immediate superior is an 이사 - do I refer to her as 이사님 when I'm not calling her by her English name? |
