90 – 90. Project (5)
Is this the right way to do it?
I accessed the site as instructed by secretary Kim Chae-yoon.
And download.
Did you say that it is an internal messenger that only our group uses?
But why isn’t this program installed on Seo Woo-jin’s laptop?
Even though I search through my memories, I can’t find anything about this messenger.
Ah..
This guy has never worked..
“No matter how conglomerate he is, the character settings were done too haphazardly.”
I was so dumbfounded that I almost laughed.
Still, if you are a member of a chaebol family, you should have set your life to doing the bare minimum, but what is this?
This is the height of complete incompetence.
In light of that setting, it is understandable that Managing Director Seo Woo-seong goes wild when Seo Woo-jin (and therefore me) tries to do his job.
If he stays still, he will eat it all, but he will be anxious because his younger brother will twitch.
But what, now it’s not just flinching, it’s going to be squirming?
If Director Hwang Jae-ha catches the evidence, you are now a complete loser!
Just as I was thinking that, the download was completed.
“Oh? “I thought it would be tedious since it is only used by Seohwa Group. The design is good, and the interface looks smooth.”
A messenger that looks neater than expected.
I received it this time because of the video conference, but I received it because I thought it would be better to use this messenger within the company rather than chat or phone when talking to secretary Kim Chae-yoon or assistant manager Kim Yun-seon.
Wouldn’t it be more natural to have an in-house messenger approach that feels a bit more business-like?
After playing with the messenger here and there, I really liked it overall.
But the problem is…
The point is that I am not writing properly.
Yesterday, secretary Kim Chae-yoon showed me her messenger and explained in detail?
Why am I like this?
Is there a stone in your head?
When I thought about it, Secretary Kim Chae-yoon’s messenger was customized from the basic module to make it easier for her to use, and the messenger I just downloaded was like a completely new product, so it felt a little different from Secretary Kim Chae-yoon’s messenger that I saw yesterday.
hahahaha..
I haven’t been able to call secretary Kim Chae-yoon since Saturday morning.
But I can’t ask you to come to my officetel and set things up.
Hmm?
Is this okay?
Instead, the downside is that if you say something wrong, you may be immediately criticized by society and kicked.
“Let’s give it a try.”
I whined to myself and familiarized myself with the company messenger as much as I could.
After clicking for about 10 minutes, I felt like I was getting a general feel for it.
Okay.
Now let’s check how the laptop cam illuminates me.
It’s a cam, but it’s your first time meeting, so it’s rude to show the other person at a dark angle, right?
Anyway, the preparations have been roughly completed.
Now all you have to do is make a conversation.
Let’s see…
It’s 7:30 in the morning right now, so it would be around 4:30 in the afternoon in Mexico time.
It’s a time when you don’t want to work, so you might be annoyed if you request a video conference, but what can you do?
No matter how much I think about it, there is no time for a video conference other than this time.
If this is the case, I have made a lot of concessions.
“Director Kim Chan-oh’s status is online, so I can call right away, right?”
Managing Director Kim Chan-oh seemed to be present.
Of course, you have to log in to the company messenger when you come to work, and if you don’t touch the computer for a while, a message automatically pops up saying you can’t communicate.
If you go to work outside, you have to set the status as ‘working outside’ before leaving.
Failure to comply will be grounds for disciplinary action.
Seohwa Group employees in Korea do not touch their products too harshly, but their overseas branches are strictly controlled.
The head office has mandated the use of messengers to manage overseas employees, and since disciplinary action may be taken if the messenger status display is not clear, training in that area is made clear.
Isn’t that true?
How do you manage your employees when you are abroad?
Of course, each overseas branch also has people in charge, so it is stipulated that they should manage the employees, but what do you do if the people in charge are idle?
So, after considering fairness, the location is confirmed through messenger and managed company-wide.
Of course, executives are also included in that scope.
And as if it were natural, there was a backlash.
I understand.
The moment you become an executive, you become a contract worker, but on the contrary, it also means that you become a person with omnipotent power within the company.
Those who have just become executives take the messenger use policy for granted, but the problem is always the same.
People who had held executive positions for more than five years were vehemently opposed to the messenger policy, perhaps because they did not like the hassle.
So what happened?
The contract was canceled immediately.
As a result of monitoring, a manager with 3 years of experience in the human resources department at the head office found that an executive at the French branch had been away for too long and was investigated.
As a result, we received information that he was away all day without revealing what kind of work he was doing, and it is said that he contacted the executive to ask for an explanation.
Of course, what comes back are swear words and insults that are difficult to put into words.
‘Where is the topic of exaggeration!’
‘Know who I am!’
‘A guy who doesn’t even have blood on his head!’
The above words are really pure words, and there are worse things to say, but I won’t bother saying them.
Anyway, what would the manager do after hearing such humiliating remarks?
Of course, I reported it to the audit office, which of course launched an investigation and reported it to my grandfather, the chairman.
As mentioned earlier, the result was termination of the contract.
There is a story that the executive received 10 times more abuse than the manager.
I don’t know because it’s impossible to confirm.
Is Chairman Seo good at swearing?
Next time, I’ll have to make an opportunity to swear.
“Then let’s take a walk.”
I clicked on Director Kim Chan-oh’s ID and started a video conference.
From Noble mtl dot com
A new screen was created, and the message ‘Waiting for video conference’ blinked.
However,
“You’re not receiving it right away?”
Approximately 30 seconds had passed since the video conference call was made, but it was not answered.
The screen on the other side does not appear right away when I place a bet, but I have to ‘accept’ for it to appear, so I have no choice but to wait.
Did you go to the bathroom?
If you leave the messenger for more than 15 minutes, the status changes to ‘Away’, so it does not change even if you are gone for a few seconds.
“You can wait for about 10 minutes… Huh?”
While he was talking to himself, Managing Director Kim Chan-oh must have pressed the accept button and the dark window began to brighten.
– Ah, hello. Director Seo Woo-jin.
Managing Director Kim Chan-oh opens his mouth on the monitor in an embarrassed tone.
He was a person with a very natural look, from his hairstyle to the way he wore clothes.
He didn’t know if he felt that way because his eyebrows were slightly drooped.
“Hello. Managing Director Kim Chan-oh. Nice to see you. “My name is Seo Woo-jin.”
– Yes, yes! Half, half, half! Nice to meet you. This is Kim Chan-oh.
Director Kim Chan-oh is choking and clearing his throat, perhaps because he is surprised or because he spoke suddenly.
It would be more appropriate to be surprised, right?
Was it because you were surprised that I didn’t receive the video conference request right away?
I didn’t contact you to harass you, so why are you freaking out?
I took a moment to check the image reflected on the monitor around Director Kim Chan-oh.
A typical office appearance.
There were some differences in style, such as the wallpaper, type of desk, and chairs because they were made in Mexico, but it was a place that had a strong feel of a typical office.
As an executive, it is natural to have a personal office and to have an independent environment, but…
What can I say?
What is this strange sense of discomfort?
– Oh, I didn’t tell you in advance, but congratulations. I recently heard that you will be appointed as the general manager of the Mexico branch.
Although no proper personnel appointments have been made yet, Executive Director Kim Chan-oh knew.
Then the story will be faster.
“You couldn’t have told me in advance because it hasn’t been announced yet. Anyway, you said you already knew, so please be kind to me in the future.”
When I accepted it warmly, Managing Director Kim Chan-oh started flattering me with excitement.
– I think it is a natural process. I heard that it was Director Woojin Seo who pushed for the merger and abolition of the Guatemala branch. I think you did all of this because you are very interested in the Mexican branch.
At all? It’s not because of the Mexican governor, but because of the main character, Baek Seong-hoon.
But let’s say so for now.
“From a long-term perspective, I think South America will be a great stepping stone for our group. That’s why we chose Mexico, which has marketability, as our beachhead.
– That is a wise statement. The reason I applied and was assigned to Mexico was because I thought there was a hidden potential in the Mexican market.
…?
I didn’t go because I wanted to.
I ended up going there by chance.
I went without saying anything, but as far as I know, I went because they told me to go.
Perhaps because he was an executive, he seemed to have a knack for putting himself on the map.
I’ll stop talking nonsense here.
Let’s get to the point.
“It’s good to hear that we have the same thoughts. From now on, I plan to focus on the Mexico branch. So what I want to tell you is…”
I started talking about the project I heard about from Assistant Manager Kim Yun-seon.
It’s not that deep, just a general overview?
However, after hearing the story, Managing Director Kim Chan-oh’s expression became increasingly stern.
– …Wouldn’t that be a bit unreasonable?
…?
What, is this a rebellion now?
