kaiwcjq1 <Proof> Even if I show the truth, there's no need to do it because of the 20-30s who can't believe it anyway, but I'm sharing a photo I took with my female coworkers at the year-end dinner party with the heart of an adult who wants them to realize. (Our cute tangled girls have portrait rights, so they've transformed into the trendy zebra these days!) You'll probably ask why there are no male employees—well, the guy who took this photo is actually my most cherished youngest male employee. Unlike those old-timers, I don't do year-end parties during evening company dinners. I don't even like alcohol, and having a year-end party by taking time away from work is what being a true adult really means. The reason all the female employees liked it and came along with me is because I'm an "oppa" who knows trends. If I were an old manager, would this many women have come with me lol ^^ ;; #YoungForty #Jealous #Stylish #Trends #Proof #Verified #FutureOfKorea #40sMan #5DaysAgo

He says it's satire. Well, it HAS to be satire. Actually it really looks like satire lmaooo

"Because he's oppa"... sounds like some 2000s noraebang classic hit song title

🦊

LMAO this is literally the most perfect sentence I've ever seen, English teachers everywhere are crying happy tears rn 😂

🐺

Even got the part about bossing around male employees right ㄷㄷ

🦊

This guy is actually enlightened—"company dinner excluding work hours" <- that mindset is legit tier 1 among bosses of that generation

🦊

Subtracting overtime hours from the company dinner~

🐰

There's also posts saying Kim So-young was pitiful in "I am Jo Jin-woong" lmaooo this really is the definition of English textbook office culture

🦊

That's not even Studio Ghibli lmaooo

🦊

Ghibruh lololololol

🦊

Genuinely captured every single aspect of English textbook office culture with surgical precision lololololol

🦊

990 points?? that's cheating, there's no way a single example can be THIS good at everything

🦊

this is what they've been trying to teach us for 12 years and it took a random jpg to understand it

🐺

No personal info or face doxxing, has an obvious Il-be mark though so it's just a bait account

🐺

Expecting some young girl to like a stale, musty 40-something doing that cringe stuff lmaoaa like even if the photo was real he only went because his boss told him to ㅉㅉ

🐰

? Some people really think going to one company dinner together makes them a thing? Being a woman at work is rough lmaooo

🐰

Clearly constructed textbook English office culture ㄷㄷ

🐺

wait how is this even possible?? I thought sentences like this only existed in our nightmares

🦊

finally something that makes sense in my English class, my teacher would frame this on the wall honestly

🦊

as a non-native speaker this gives me hope that English has rules that actually work lol

🦊

okay but can we talk about how this sentence is literally a masterclass?? every textbook author is shook rn
