When I work for the Korean company, I usually worked from 9 to whenever. If the GM finish the work, then I should finish my work, that’s one of the culture in Korea company. Even if you are finish your work, but GM doesn’t finish his work, you cannot go home. It means you are loyal to the company. Most of the company do this. I don’t know why he has so much work, sometimes he just watch news. Weekend, if he want to go to business trip, I have to go with him, he never asks us for our opinions, just notice us to go with him. At that time, I just think I should do that work for just experience. In my resume, I didn’t write about this Korean company.

My current company is a Taiwan company. I usually work from 8am to 6pm. I don’t want to work overtime, so I like start work early and finish my work. I think our GM is a 007, her Skype is usually online, she send the message to her, and she answers even in the midnight. I think she figure out the problem with the European agent. She’s 44, she still haven’t had baby. I heard her husband is older than her, so it’s impossible. Her goal is just make money and make her company bigger.
