The Legend of 15 Years Parental Leave...
원본 (Korean)
Translation + Context
FT = ForbiddenTome — tap to see Korean slang explained

A teacher who gave birth to three children, but after the first pregnancy, has never actually gone to work even once (returning on the last day of vacation, taking leave the day before vacation starts, repeating the cycle). She kept taking annual leave, sick leave, infertility leave (even though she gets pregnant easily, she just applies since it's paid leave lol), prenatal and postnatal leave, and maternity leave. By the time the first kid hit middle school 2nd grade, she never actually worked.... But during vacations she repeated returning + taking leave, annual leave, and sick leave, and the third child's 3 years of parental leave counts toward her total tenure, so out of 15 years, she managed to rack up 9-10 years of actual service (civil service pension tenure recognition years). She worked 5-6 years before marriage, so after returning she only worked 1 year, and once she hits the pension payout amount of 200, she's planning to take another 4-5 years of spousal dependent leave abroad following her husband, then retire... Looks like she's planning to take the kids to America and send them to college under special overseas Korean provisions (can skip the hellish domestic college entrance exams and get into SKY + med school easily). Both her husband and her family are loaded.... What's kinda ridiculous is how she's using this system—10 years ago this would've gotten massive hate, but now that she's back at work and had 3 kids, it's like everything is forgiven and the education office and schools are all calling her a patriot and applauding.... ㅋㅋㅋ When people call this out, the response from higher-ups comes back saying that the country spent money raising women and sending them to college, so compared to those spinster female teachers who didn't have kids and brag about how great they are, these parental leave teachers who raised 3 kids are way more beneficial to the nation...... Funny how life is all about timing—this person gets treated like a hero, while those unmarried women who dutifully paid their taxes are treated like dead weight.

This is exactly why welfare policies need to be super careful—don't blame the person, fix the exploitable system
Having someone in your department on parental leave is lowkey infuriating
LMAOOO the comments are killing me 💀 Some salty old ladies in there are absolutely unhinged it's hilarious
Parental leave counted as career—YES. Military service counted as career—NO. This world's unfair.
Public sector counts military service though
finally someone gets it!! parenthood is a full job and should be treated like one
People like this are the same as welfare fraudsters imo
Abusing the system to milk taxes while crippling one school's operations... and they call that patriotic??
Nah for real she's a patriot? Someone needs their head checked
Fertility leave though?
Fertility leave my ass lmaooo 'oh the baby just isn't coming' so you can just apply for it?? HAHAHAHA People don't even know there are actual criteria for infertility diagnosis—this post is pure fiction
Teachers get transferred every 4-5 years so no one could monitor one person's 15-year track record anyway, and fertility leave isn't something you just apply for whenever. Honestly this post falls apart under scrutiny lol
Patriot my ass ㅋㅋ This scumbag abused the system to milk taxes while raising kids—a total demon. Hope she and her family get in a car accident and end up in hell. Low birth rates? Creating fair systems to weed out parasites like this actually helps the nation more. Instead we have people like this getting called patriots, then during election season the election commission cracks down with 200 suspension notices ㅋㅋ
Pretty clever ngl
15 years of leave and only worked 10? How is that even possible??
nah this has to be fake, no government is actually this cool to parents
wait 15 YEARS?? that's literally longer than some people's marriages lmao
As a parent in the US getting 6 weeks I'm literally crying reading this 😭 which country is this??
honestly 15 years sounds excessive but also... imagine actually being there for your kids without the stress
This is the kind of policy that would actually fix society but go off I guess
Ok but who's paying for this and why isn't my country doing it 💀
