An expat who's lived in Korea for ten years compares Italian and Korean workplaces. In Italy, companies pay you and you do your job, nothing more. In Korea, employees are expected to sacrifice for the company's survival, especially in crisis.
I feel that in Italian companies, they really care about your own situation, whereas in Korea, it's more the company has its own situation, you have to adapt to that. So if the company right now is in a crisis, if I were in Italy, I would be like, that's your problem, not mine, right? As long as you give me my wage, I'm fine. But in Korea, it's more the company has a problem, we all have to work together, we have to sacrifice for the company.
