VIP Class Notes (Nemo)[W]

I worked in a Korean company for 1year. Worked as an assistant of the general manager.
Looking back at it, it was a good experience but wasn’t a good memory.
There is a big difference superior and subordinate culture between China and Korea.
In my current company, I usually finshed work on time, just nine to six.But in Korean company,I never
back home before the general manager finishied his work. Most korean think if you finish your work earlier than
superior , he thinks you are disloyal to the company. Then you will get less opportunities of promotion.
I also translated chinese-Korean. When the general manager was speaking dirty words, I didn’t translate it into Chinese. Mostly I was in an embarrassing situation.
