Working Environment

Working Environment in Korea

Today, there was only one presentation because the classmate who was supposed to give another presentation unfortunately had a car accident. I`m sorry to hear that and I wish him a quick recovery. Anyway, today`s topic was about “work environment”

  In my opinion, working environment in Korea has been getting better. Especially, in the mid 2000's, many companies started to have a 5-day workweek system and provide good benefits to the employees. However, I know that there still are the companies offering poor working conditions. For examples, there are many workers who work overtime everyday and get a low salary, and even they sometime lose their jobs without good reason. Of course, the growth of the Korea economy is important but I think the quality of economic growth is more important than quantitative expansion. We should improve the quality of life.

  As a fourth grader, I`ve been looking for a job these days. Needless to say, it would be great to have a job with a high salary. However, Money is not the most important thing in my life. I would like to get a job with good working environment. I mean I do not want to work overtime everyday and I don`t want to be workaholic. Spending some quality time with co-workers or friends is very important for me to make good performances. Actually, that`s not only me but also others who want to work at the company which offers good benefits and working environment.

  4. Yes. Money is not everything. And other things which are co-workers, working environment, welfare and so on can be important depending on. So i agree with your opinion.
