Seoul girl gets stationed in Gyeongbuk .jpg Anonymous
Water Resources Corporation reality check hits different When I got transferred from Seoul to some mountain village in Gyeongbuk and had a rough time at work, I cried a bit, and then I got this KakaoTalk in the middle of the night... all bright-eyed like, "Hey Deputy Manager, how are you? Did you have a good commute home? I know it's not proper etiquette to contact you during your personal time, but as your senior at work, I wanted to say something so I'm reaching out." 7:10 PM
When I found out that Peach Deputy was a Seoul native, I was really worried. I thought it wouldn't be easy for someone who lived surrounded by convenient facilities and cultural centers right at their fingertips to work out here in the mountains. funfun_smile_good As for me, I'm also a weekend husband with my wife and kid living in Gyeonggi-do, so I feel the stark difference between my home surroundings and the area around the company every Monday morning when I commute. Deputy, you must feel it even more.
I get that you had starry eyes, but you knew when preparing to join our company that you wouldn't always be able to work in the city, right? Also, the fact that you applied to the Nakdong River branch instead of the Han River branch means you desperately wanted to join us regardless of the work location. funfun_smile_good But sir/ma'am, it's all your choice. Knowing full well that you could work out in the mountains like this, why didn't you apply to our Nakdong River area branch?
Sparkling eyes, uh peach—the director chose everything, and saying things like that within the department is wrong behavior. Also, you can't use gender or tears as weapons. The department head isn't free enough to accept all of the director's tantrums, and there are many people working in much more remote rural areas than this branch. From now on, never say such things again. I sent you a gift card, so I hope you'll have a nice weekend, treat yourself to something delicious, and refresh your mood. I'm sorry again for this evening, and I'll see you next week.
Using gender + tears as their weapon lmaooo

This isn't the first or second time boomers have squeezed tears out of women to get them favors—just look at the Foreign Ministry and Ministry of Gender Equality
The messed up part is sweet young female bosses ask male coworkers "what were YOU doing while she cried?" and talk shit to them
why is this even a take?? people love Seoul regardless of gender, this is so weird
Using tears to get transferred out is genuinely the S-tier method at state-owned companies.
There's also the whole "I'll kill myself" declaration
Seoul really does hit different though, I get it 🤷♀️ also why is the water company involved in tourism now
Life hack from women-only online communities: if you just close your eyes and cry out loud once in the office, young male bosses panic and swap your workstation with a male coworker's—though they say it doesn't work on female bosses. Sweet young bosses << the GOAT of destroying workplace culture
For real not sure why they act so sweet when they're not even gonna get anything extra just for making a fuss lol
Because they have this stupid fantasy that it might work. Legit a collection of idiots.
FYI there are actually Seoul women who think they'll literally die if they go south of Gyeonggi. Men will relocate for a good job, but women would rather stay in Seoul as temp workers than take a permanent gig at a major company in the provinces
Probably because they take less responsibility…if I worked at a major corporation I'd obviously go anywhere—Baengnyeong Island, Ulleung Island, overseas, whatever—as long as the pay's good
By the way, the Ministry of Gender Equality has zero reason to be in Seoul, but they squeezed their way in and stayed there lmao. Male civil servants who got booted to the provinces without being able to squeeze their way back are the real dummies lol
The Korea Water Resources Corporation randomly mentioned is sending me, what does water have to do with anything 💀
lmaooo not the water corporation getting dragged into this 😭 but honestly Seoul is genuinely beautiful, can't blame anyone
I'm a guy and I went absolutely feral over Seoul too, this post is giving gender bias vibes ngl
As a woman who visited Seoul last year... yeah this tracks, I've never been so obsessed with a city before
the way they snuck in the water corporation tag is hilarious, clearly a sponsored post trying to hide it lol
