what i wanted to tell my fellow korean co-workers...

my friend carol have put it into words (i found it on her blog), just what i wanted to tell my fellow korean co-workers...

staying late consistently is nothing to be proud of. it means
(a) you are being overworked,
(b) your project is mismanaged, or
(c) you don't make life outside of work a priority.

the work culture here in seoul is that work hours are stretched and stretched, and lasts over 10-12 hours, well that includes relaxed dinners and some drinks (occasionally).
but!! i want my free hours after work!!
