Their most important task was managing deposit merchandise at the window.
But shockingly, the to start with thing I realized as before long as I started off doing work was ‘how to cook rice’.

“I purchase side dishes each month, and the employees prepare and try to eat the rice. But the female team have often organized the rice.”
It is claimed that women of all ages who perform in the risk-free ended up responsible for cooking and planning the food in time for lunch.

“The lady who took the lead cooks the rice, and considering that 4 men and women ate it, set a few cups of rice, change the h2o, and cook right until what time…”
It was crucial to verify the specific amount of people and put together foods ‘in advance’ on time.

“I have to prepare dinner in advance of 11am. If it truly is time, I will cook breakfast beforehand, and if the supervisor and the president are there, I am going to talk to him if he’d like to take in.”

He said, ‘It would seem appropriate for the human being who wears the towel to wash it’.
On the other hand, the respond to was unforeseen.
[○○새마을금고 차장(여성)(녹취)]
“Can you tell the male staff members, ‘Do your laundry since of what you wrote?’ You can wash it at house or hand clean it.”
As you simply cannot power male staff to clean towels, the ‘younger’ informant has to perform harder and give guidance.
[○○새마을금고 차장(여성)(녹취)]
“There are only two girls in this compact place of work. I can go over it all by myself. But which is not accurate. The hierarchy of the place of work is there.”
He brought out phrases that could audio terrifying to the informant.

The informant described that the manager, who was less indignant, even threw a water bottle on the flooring.
The informant said it was “hard to breathe” owing to the significant strain.
Just after much dialogue, I questioned the supervisor in charge for an interview.
Nonetheless, what came again to the informant was ‘treat your manager extra seriously’.

“Because if you definitely do it, everything will get the job done out. Get the job done daily life is not quick.”

When instructed to post a ‘notice of the rationale for non-attendance’, the informant wrote in element the principal’s present status and harassment.
Right after getting the letter of explanation, the chairman corrected it with a pencil and requested to ‘delete’ the content relating to the boss’s offensive language.

‘Let’s use the boss’s anger as a nutrient for self-growth’
‘Growing a shocked expression or staring with out a word when having an purchase is seen as an perspective that you don’t want to consider an order’
I asked why they ended up handing out these guidelines to their workers.
[○○새마을금고 이사장]
“I failed to do it, I copied it from another booklet. The man or woman who wrote the material is to blame, not the copying. I gave it for instructional uses.”
I acknowledge I gave it to you, but I didn’t write it myself, so it can be not a trouble.
The controlling director who was current was also of the view that there was ‘something to learn’.

Initial, the informant asks for a bank loan and gives the revenue to the customer.

Bosses also put stress on their workers to pay back money, expressing they required to make improvements to their general performance.

“The staff made the decision to fill it with 100,000 received every single. No matter what happens, the personnel have to secure these. But there are staff who did not hold it, so make an computerized debit of 100,000 .”
When the reporters went to the manager who made the remark and questioned why he was executing it, this rationalization arrived back again.
[○○새마을금고 상무]
“It is really not that we have to make improvements to our general performance. Even so, it’s not to that extent simply because we’re placing force on it.”
