Hey.
Hey!
What are you doing right now?
Hey!
You!
Hey!
Excuse me.
Hey.
That guy took a photo of your legs.
What?
Goodness, oh, no.
You should report him first.
What?
You need to report him to the station and check the CCTV footage.
Don't you want to catch that guy?
Yes, right. Yes.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
You should be more mindful when you wear a short skirt.
You should protect your own body.
[K-Plus Asia ver.] I Hate Going to Work E07 Ripped & Synced by ordinaryguy92
(Episode 7: Are You Being Respected?)
No, it's okay. No one is here right now.
Who knows? They'll probably come by 10 o'clock at the earliest.
I'm going to get some overdue work done.
Baek–ho.
–Hello, Ms. Yoon. –What?
They got here awfully early.
No, nothing. I'll call you later.
What was that?
Since when?
Was it ever since the project began?
Do I have to report this?
No?
Wait, if I do, to whom do I report this to?
You worked hard until late at night yesterday.
Yes, we should just check the location one last time.
–I see. –The display stand––
(HR Operations)
Why? Do you know him?
He's a senior from university who's a labor consultant.
A labor attorney?
(HR Operations)
How was the private label diary received?
Yes, people love it.
It looks like our image...
...as an outdated company will improve through this––
There is no use if only our image improves. We need our sales to improve.
Yes, you're right.
One Dozen is in a serious management crisis.
Those above will make an important decision very soon.
The private label product is important...
...but that's that.
Shouldn't you find a new way to improve your sales?
How long will you be satisfied with your old system?
That's why we've been looking for...
...a low–cost plan to bring up the sales rapidly in a short period.
Okay. Make sure you come up with a plan as soon as possible.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
–Yes. –Yes.
You may go.
Mr. Kang, I'd like to have a word with you.
Yes.
Soon...
...there will be a vacancy in the Strategic Planning Department.
I'll get you a position there, so be on standby.
–Then will the Sales and Planning–– –Right.
Is there anything scandalous going on in that department?
Pardon? What do you mean?
Do any of the employees go out and do something people would gossip about?
Well, you're very ethical when it comes to such a thing...
–...so I'm not worried. –I see.
Goodness.
People say, "Trust is the mother of deceit."
It's completely absurd.
Mr. Park, why was Ms. Kim of the Production Department...
...suddenly transferred to the Managerial Department?
How would I know? She just does whatever she's told.
I mean, do you think they sent her to that department...
...to fire her with the entire department?
Did they finally begin their restructuring?
No. No, no.
What happened is this.
What? Sexual har––
Sexual harassment?
Ms. Kim was sexually harassed?
–By whom? –No.
Why won't you tell me the whole story?
Are you going to show off again?
Who did she harass?
–Sexual harassment? –This guy.
Goodness, here come the Avengers of the Sales and Planning Department.
How is everything over there?
It's a huge hit.
No one's around at the other kiosks.
Only the kiosk for our diary is busy with customers.
All right!
The Family Month promotion that M Bookstore put in place...
...worked out perfectly with our product.
Our event products were sold out within an hour.
Good! Great work from early in the morning.
Let's eat something expensive and delicious for lunch.
–Yes! –All right!
Yu–jin, you look awesome today.
Looking gorgeous and great.
I think he's just saying that...
...to add it to his thank you note.
He's right.
You should dress like this every single day.
Your makeup looks different, too.
Are you seeing a guy after work?
Yu–jin is a girl, too. She's pretty when she dresses up.
–Mr. Park. –What?
–You should stop. –Stop what?
The way you talk about her looks to her face...
...makes me feel very uncomfortable, too.
You feel uncomfortable again? Why are you always so uncomfortable?
It's not like I said something bad. I complimented her saying she's pretty.
And I wasn't the only one.
M–Mr. Kang said the same thing, too.
It wasn't the same at all.
What's the difference between him and me?
–The person. –What?
Nothing. Sorry.
Yu–jin, did I offend you?
I complimented you on your looks. Were you offended?
–Why? –It didn't feel great.
What?
Come on, Mr. Park. Mr. Park?
Don't be like that. Calm down.
Ms. Han, you know he didn't mean it in a bad way.
Don't be like that.
It's just that he is still not socialized enough.
–Socialized? –All right, now.
Why don't we do our chant to celebrate the diary's release?
Let's all do it in our seat. It's "One Dozen, One Dozen, we can do it!"
Okay, let's shout it out.
One, two, three.
One Dozen, One Dozen, we can do it!
Great work.
He's so spineless.
What? Who is?
–What? What is it? –No, it's nothing.
How boring.
So...
...when Ms. Kim of Production Department was having a get–together...
...with the employees of the factory...
...she asked one of the male employees to pour her a drink, and got demoted?
I mean, is it that weird for a superior to ask their junior...
...to pour them a drink?
Well, if she was punished...
...I'm sure the circumstance, context, and the nuance of her words were...
...a little too offensive.
I think there's a huge problem with the Korean get–together culture.
Hey.
Doesn't Ms. Yang always ask...
...Hyun–wook to pour her a drink during our get–togethers?
Hey, it's different in my case.
Hyun–wook, were you offended?
Tell me. Then I won't do it.
Oh, no. It's fine with me.
–That's nothing. –Right?
Anyway.
Be careful with what you say.
Make sure you think once more before you speak.
Be considerate of others.
Okay?
Of course.
Man.
The pretty boys of Sales and Planning.
It's great to see you two...
...standing there together.
Oh, gosh. My eyes.
I have no idea where to look.
–Yu–jin. –Yes?
If you had to date one of them, who would you date?
What?
Hyun–wook.
–Me? –Hey.
Why are you so serious?
Wait.
Yu–jin.
–Do you really like Hyun–wook–– –Excuse me.
Ms. Yang.
I've been meaning to tell you this for a while.
I feel very uncomfortable hearing you address me and Hyun–wook...
...as the pretty boys.
I hope...
...you can refrain from making such jokes.
Right.
I was just making a joke.
Why is he so serious?
That was awkward.
I want to tell her to stop, too.
Darn it. It's really awkward to get angry at her.
But it doesn't feel right...
...to stay silent.
Tenants, may I have your attention for a short while, please?
Hello, office workers.
You all must suffer very much...
...from living in this appearance–oriented country.
That's why I, Kang Yu–mi...
...brought a few products that can help you deal with your superiors, colleagues...
...and juniors who continuously say things...
...about your face, body, and judge you, saying your heyday is gone.
This is not a chance you get every single day.
Wait.
What do you have?
–Okay, look. –Sure.
Step one, you should hear a word about your looks, too.
It's the mirror that can help them walk a mile in your shoes.
Mirror, mirror. Who is the most beautiful...
Not you. It's a mirror for those people who obsess over how you look...
...when they themselves aren't even pretty.
Everyone knows that your facial features are awkwardly placed.
Why haven't you been looking handsome lately?
Goodness.
This is unbelievable.
Wow, look at you.
–Let's put this away. –Why? What?
–I feel offended. –See?
Doesn't it feel awful?
We get evaluated for so many things at work.
Do I have to get evaluated on my looks, too?
Why you little...
But if they like how they look...
–...this mirror is useless. –That's why I prepared this.
Then make sure you only tell me. A whispering telephone.
If you want to keep judging people on their looks and body...
...or anything that isn't related to work...
...then don't do it when people are around.
Make sure you whisper it only to me!
Hey, Mr. Kang...
(Example)
–What's that? –Say it into the cup.
Gosh, it has been forever since I've seen this. Wow.
I mean, what's wrong with your facial features?
You used to look fine. I'm just worried, really.
Did you gain weight by any chance?
(Yu–mi's turn is over)
–Are you done? –Yes.
(Hyun–wook's turn is about to begin)
Do you want me to listen? Okay.
You little...
Here is the last resort for those of you who cannot back down anymore.
Is one's looks more important than work? What's truly important?
It's the human signboard.
Put up a signboard of a celebrity that your superior likes...
...in your seat, and you can leave.
Hyun–wook, the report, please.
(Example)
Hyun–wook!
(Cha Eun–woo of Astro)
Yes, if everything else is the same, it's better to have a better–looking one.
What matters is that my co–worker is handsome.
(Lee Hwang with a better–looking crimson skirt)
(It's better to choose a prettier skirt even if you are Lee Hwang)
Gosh, I sound like garbage.
Why don't we only judge people...
...according to their performance when we're at work?
Here's an example.
Hey, Mr. Kang. Look at the font you used...
...for the title of this presentation. This is absolutely amazing.
You've done well.
But why did you add in this awful picture of Bonobono?
You don't get paid for your looks...
...but because of your work.
Okay?
We should just get an ordinary cream cake, right?
Are you thinking about chocolate?
What do you like?
Why do you keep ignoring me since this morning?
I decided to let everything you say go in one ear and out the other.
Like what?
Oh, because I said that I like you?
Quiet.
I didn't mean anything by that.
It's like saying, "I like the smell of coffee.
I like this weather."
It's just something like that, so just treat me like you did before.
Don't feel too conscious of me.
I do not feel conscious of you, not at all.
Okay, that's a relief, then.
Let's go with the strawberry cake.
Excuse me?
I told him...
...that I am not interested in him, and I want him to stop.
I put my foot down...
...and told him. He probably understood, didn't he?
Yu–jin...
...never particularly said that she hates me.
It looks like she is probably a little interested in me, too.
What?
The honorary what?
The Honorary Equal Employment Inspector.
It's the Honorary Inspector for short.
An Honorary Equal Employment Inspector works for victims of discrimination...
...and sexual harassment, to see if any laws were broken due to...
Anyway, it's a person who works to realize equal employment...
...by fulfilling the duties laid out...
...by the Minister of the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
And you're asking me to do this?
That was Ms. Kim of Production's job––
Oh, right.
We have to appoint a new honorary inspector...
...and I recommended you.
Why did you recommend––
Because you have the highest performance among all female assistant managers.
Can you come closer and tell her?
Should I? I'll do that.
Goodness, I should do that.
Okay.
The world is all stirred up because of the Me Too Movement and all...
...so this job...
...just has a fancy name, but you don't have too many things to do.
Go to the anonymous bulletin board on our website from time to time...
...read a few of the entries that are up there...
...and just make a comment according to the manual.
Only report the entries that look like...
...it can cause some trouble to Human Resources.
But you have...
...only about one or two things that you must report in a month.
–So don't be too burdened. –Wait.
By any chance...
...what if I saw something?
For example...
...what if one of my superiors could have been sexually harassed...
...by someone who is from another company?
Did that happen?
Well...
–It's just an example. –Don't mind that.
Just maintain that board. That's all.
The victim will report it themselves, isn't that right?
How can we help them if they didn't file a report?
–Right? –Yes.
Just skip over the petty trouble that you can see every day at work...
...and just filter out those cases...
...that can cause some trouble.
Make sure those above won't get too concerned.
Anyway...
...work in a way that will not put One Dozen in disgrace.
Sure, okay.
Don't be too burdened, Ms. Han. Just do what you always have done.
You can do it.
–You can. –You can do it.
I can.
Are they telling me to report the cases or not?
Honorary Equal Employment Inspector?
Why is the title so long?
The title sounds fancy, but what I actually do is...
...a moderator's job.
What did you just say?
What?
We're going to create an internal brand team.
No, before that.
What did you say about the production line...
...for the diary that we collaborated with One Dozen?
What? That we'll ask them to hand it over as it is?
You need to choose your words better.
You aren't just asking them to hand it over.
What you mean is that you'll take their production line...
...and keep it for our company as soon as our contract expires.
That's life.
Oh, right. About the CEO of that bamboo fabric company...
...your old senior.
They didn't need to think again before they said they'll sign with us...
...saying that they trust you.
–Senior Manager. –All we did was release a diary.
If we let One Dozen have all the good parts...
...how are we going to improve our performance?
(Performance: Employee evaluation)
What's with you?
I'll put you in charge of the Brand Team...
...so take it and make it work.
You won't get another opportunity like this. You know, don't you?
Oh, and about One Dozen...
...I went to a gathering yesterday and heard that...
...there will be a huge change very soon.
Have you heard anything?
(HR Operations)
(List of displaced personnel from restructuring)
(List of displaced personnel by department)
May I have your attention?
Great work in writing...
...the proposal for third quarter's sales amongst your busy schedules.
Yu–jin and Mr. Jung's ideas seemed pretty similar.
Let's go with that one.
Oh, launching our products in online select shops?
Yes, that.
Yu–jin and Ji–won, you two can work on that.
What?
Oh, that was my idea. Why are you asking them?
Mr. Jung, you already have a lot of projects going on...
...so you can just keep that going.
Yu–jin and Ji–won...
...write up your first draft and ask Mr. Park to approve it.
–Sang–wook. –Yes?
You can develop the project with them and report back to me...
–...by tomorrow. –Yes.
What? Tomorrow?
And about the request for cooperation from M Bookstore.
–Ms. Han, are you in charge? –Yes.
I organized the details and sent them to everyone's email.
If we can help it...
...make sure we do everything that they ask us to do.
Yes.
If they want us to be at an event, make sure we're there.
If M Bookstore refuses to sell the private label projects...
...you know that only we'll be negatively affected.
–Yes. –Yes.
Don't just answer me halfheartedly.
Do a better job!
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Mr. Jung
No. Not now. Not right now.
It's Mr. Jung's birthday today. We prepared a surprise for him.
You can...
You can join us.
Mr. Choi.
I really thought I was going to get beaten up.
What's with him today?
I guess his superiors were harsh on him.
What are we going to do now?
What do you think? We can always start over.
Congrats.
Light up the candles again.
Come on, hurry up and light them up.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Mr. Jung
Happy birthday to you
–Happy birthday! –Happy birthday.
–Thank you. –Goodness.
Happy birthday, Mr. Jung.
When did you prepare all this?
Mr. Kang told us in advance...
...that we should celebrate together since it's your birthday.
We all prepared this gift together.
I hope you like it.
It looked like your fountain pen was a bit too old.
You'll sign a lot of important papers in the future...
–...so you should use a good pen. –What is this?
What is the watery thing I see in your eyes?
Teardrops? Are you crying?
–Come on, I'm not. –My gosh.
You are crying.
Come on, man.
You're making me cringe. Don't cry.
–Something got in my eyes, that's all. –Come on.
Don't cry.
What is it? Is something going on?
Yes, it's Mr. Jung's birthday today.
So we're hazing him.
I see.
Congratulations, Mr. Jung.
Thank you.
Let's go eat lunch.
–Sure. –Come with us, Ms. Yoon.
Oh, may I come, too?
Yes, of course.
Mr. Kang said he'll buy us something expensive...
...to celebrate the launch. Let's go.
–Let's go. –What do you like?
Let's go.
–Let's eat that when we come back. –Okay.
With coffee. Let's go.
–Let's go. –You're such a great singer.
Aren't you coming with us?
Yes, I have a lunch box.
And I have some work to do, too.
You can go ahead.
Is that so? Then should I get you some coffee on the way back? Americano?
–Sure. –Okay.
Hey, Mr. Kang.
Yes?
Have you been...
...troubled with anything lately?
Troubled? Like what?
Well...
Nothing. Never mind.
–Enjoy your lunch. –Sure.
Americano.
Yes.
I get it. I understand why he can't say anything.
How can he tell his junior that he was sexually harassed?
And it's him, Kang Baek–ho.
He's a man of pride.
("I hate hearing this remark," "Comparison by a female superior")
What is this? He said there aren't that many entries.
Darn it, I got fooled again.
Everything that people at work say is a lie.
"I hate hearing this remark."
(I hate hearing this remark)
"My superior keeps asking me if I work out, that I'm looking great.
And she says a guy is all about his lower body strength..."
What is this?
Why is he writing this on this board?
If you hate it that much, tell her to stop.
Control C.
(I hate hearing this remark)
Control V.
Next.
"Comparison by a female superior."
"A female superior lines up the male employees...
...and compares them as she talks about their looks.
It really hurts my pride...
...and it's unbearable."
What? Is this Hyun–wook?
Even today, she made me...
...and my junior stand there and asked another employee...
...who she would date among us.
It felt...
...absolutely awful.
Poor Hyun–wook.
"My superior always has something to say whenever I put on a skirt."
He probably thinks it's a compliment...
...but I want to stitch his lips together.
I really want him to stop paying attention to me altogether.
Why won't they tell them off themselves?
Nothing will change even if they write this here.
What's this?
"Is it a crime to be weak?"
I have a physical constitution where I sweat a lot when I eat.
But people make fun of me asking if I can fulfill my duties as a man.
I had a prostate exam.
There was no problem.
What is this?
Why do I sweat whenever I eat?
I don't get it.
My goodness.
Really?
May I talk to everyone?
Jin–ju.
You should have just come with us.
I think my stomach is about to pop because we went to a buffet for once.
That's nothing new. It always looks like it's ready to pop.
–What? –Anyway.
What do you want to say? Is something going on?
Are you all aware that I was appointed as the Honorary Equal Employment Inspector?
Yes.
That's why...
...I am not going to let it slide whenever I hear you saying something...
...about their looks and outfits to their face.
Yes, exactly.
The person who says it may not mean anything by it...
...but the person who hears it can feel like it's sexual harassment.
Goodness, what a bother.
Is it because of what I said to Yu–jin this morning?
No one is saying a word. Why are you creating trouble?
Everyone else feels uncomfortable now because they have to be mindful of you.
Other than that...
...please stop making your juniors stand around to make a joke.
Especially asking another person which one of them she would date.
I mean...
...we can make a joke as we work in an office, can't we?
If you say this is sexual harassment and that is sexual harassment too...
...then what do you expect me to do if everything is sexual harassment?
Mr. Park.
Were you never offended because of someone's meaningless joke?
–Never. –You were too. You know.
I'm sure you've heard...
...that you need to man up over things that are no big deal.
My gosh.
Seriously?
Ms. Han is right about that.
It doesn't hurt to be careful.
Okay.
I'll be careful from now on.
Are we good now?
Happy now?
(Farmers plow the field)
(And people scratch and win)
Yeong–mi!
Scratching a little itchy spot...
...can turn it into a big blister.
Is "scratching" really that bad?
Scratching the skin can lead to scars...
...or a secondary infection.
However, there are times when you must scratch your skin.
It's when you have a yellow scab on the skin.
It consists of dead skin tissues.
Hence, you have to get rid of the scab.
And you must scratch hard...
...for the new skin to grow from the inside.
Scratching doesn't make the wound worse.
In fact, it enables new skin tissue to grow.
(Scratching can often lead to...)
The blisters caused by "scratching" various social issues...
...instead of turning a blind eye to them...
...have enabled us to open this new era.
The same goes for those who started the Me Too movement.
Socially speaking, such an act of scratching...
...can create conflict.
However, a society without any conflict...
...is practically dead.
In that sense, the act helps us build a healthy society.
I think that the act itself...
...is essential in our society.
Yu–jin, remember the thing I talked to you about earlier?
Send it to me on the messenger now.
Sure.
Gosh, Hyun–wook.
Never mind.
I'll do it.
I'll just take care of it.
Well, shouldn't we have our team dinner this evening?
I mean, we finally launched the diary. It's a very special day.
They say most workplace sexual harassment incidents...
...take place when alcohol is involved.
So shouldn't we try to refrain...
...from going out for dinner and drinks together often?
Jeez.
Come on. Why is everyone being like this?
Okay, fine.
Since it's my birthday today, I'll treat you guys.
How about we just grab a beer together?
All right. Who's in?
Who wants to join me?
Just one?
Everyone is so tense...
...because of someone.
–Here you go. –Thanks.
You seem out of it. What's going on?
What?
You seemed distracted even when we were eating.
Did something happen?
No, it's nothing. I'm just...
...a little tired.
Rumor has it...
...that One Dozen might be restructuring soon.
Are things okay in your department?
The higher–ups promised me something when they transferred me to Sales.
They said they won't lay off anyone in Sales and Planning...
...if we meet the goal for the first half of the year.
And you believe them?
I thought...
...I knew my company well.
But I'm not sure now.
Even though it's been eight years.
What does...
...the company mean to you?
Why do you guys never speak up right away?
Well, we can't show that it irks us.
They're our superiors whom we see every day.
What about you, Yu–jin?
I can see that it bothers you. How come you never say anything?
In my case...
...I'm just not sure if it's right to get angry...
...over something like this.
With some of the remarks...
...I'm not bothered by them when I hear them.
But I find them offensive later on.
Both of you frustrate me so much.
Aren't you learning anything from the newbie?
He clearly expresses his dislikes and opinions.
He speaks up whenever he needs to, so no one can walk all over him.
Why do you put up with that?
Why?
If you look like pushovers, don't you think it's your fault?
Try to speak up right on the spot from now on.
Say, "Don't do it. I don't like it."
I'd like to do that, but...
But what?
It's...
Oftentimes, it's easier said than done.
You probably don't understand because you're not in my situation.
All right. Let's take a coffee break.
Did something happen?
What's up with this vibe? You guys weren't like this before I left.
It's because there's a vigilante in our office.
Well...
I'm...
...a victim of what?
I saw everything.
I saw Ms. Yoon...
–...sexually harassing you. –Sorry?
She was touching your back.
And I also saw her...
...blowing air into your ear, I saw the whole thing.
Oh, that.
You saw it?
I know that M Bookstore has the upper hand, but don't you think it's so wrong?
–No, it's not–– –I was going to turn a blind eye...
...and not meddle in it, but I can't let it slide.
The M Bookstore project.
All of us worked so hard for it, you know.
Later on, if people say that we got the project...
...because Ms. Yoon was interested in you––
Wait, hold on.
Listen to me first. So you're saying...
...I was sexually harassed by Ms. Yoon?
Gosh.
Come again?
Your hair?
That's right.
She was just trying to get all the hair off my shoulders.
How come your hair is falling out? Are you under a lot of stress?
–Yes, I sure am. –Hold on. Let me get them off for you.
You've gotten so much gray hair as well.
I've always had a lot of gray hair.
Really? I'll pluck this one for you.
Don't. It can cause more to grow back.
Oh, really?
Even so, it's a bit odd.
Anyone would've gotten the wrong idea.
Yes. You're right, indeed.
You should...
...firmly tell Ms. Yoon to be careful from now on.
I mean, you have a girlfriend.
–I'm single. –Pardon me?
I lied...
...because everyone kept telling me that I should date Ms. Yoon.
Then by any chance...
are the two of you...
Oh, yes.
So are you two seeing each other?
Oh, well...
I guess I can say we're testing the waters at the moment.
"Testing the waters"?
Yes, please don't tell anyone.
Is it really true though?
I feel like you're lying again.
Ms. Han, I have to stop by M Bookstore later today.
Why don't you come with me and call it a day?
You should go home and get some rest.
–Okay. –Good.
I will do that.
By the way, are you two really seeing each other?
–Yes, we're... –It doesn't seem like you are.
We are casually seeing each other.
You and Ms. Yoon?
Yes.
I can't believe it.
They're seeing each other?
It's crazy, right?
And he lied about having a girlfriend...
...to protect Ms. Yoon.
My goodness.
All of this was happening behind our backs.
Does it mean they're getting back together?
What do you mean?
What?
Were they in a relationship in the past?
Sorry?
Oh.
Yes, probably.
Are you sure? How did you know?
I overheard their conversation by chance.
Gosh, unbelievable.
My goodness.
I don't like this feeling.
Did she approach us with the project...
...with an ulterior motive?
Keep it to yourself.
It's a secret.
I'm coming. I know.
–I'm coming. –Gosh.
How do I feel?
(Lee Yu–jin, Sales and Planning)
Shall I say it's like being dumped by the same guy twice?
When Mr. Kang said he has a girlfriend...
...and today.
Right now, this moment.
Gosh.
Yu–jin.
About the thing Mr. Choi asked me to do...
Can you get it organized?
You know that I'm not good at things like that.
But in exchange...
...I'll treat you to dinner.
How about after work today?
What kind of food do you like?
Pasta?
If you don't like pasta, how about we go for steak?
–Ji–won. –Yes?
I'm not that easy.
So...
...you'd better not get cheeky with me.
Is this what it feels like...
(No Ji–won, Sales and Planning)
...when your heart flutters?
Mr. Kang, the meeting will start shortly. What should we do?
Gosh, where did all the cars go?
I knew this would happen, so I called one in advance using an app.
What about the key though?
There.
(Unlock)
(Let emergency vehicles pass first)
–Ta–da. –Oh, my.
Mr. Kang, you're so organized.
Thank you.
That box is heavy, so this is perfect.
–Thank you. –Get in.
Thank you.
All right, then, if any issues arise in the future...
...feel free to contact Ms. Yoon anytime with your feedback.
She's one of the most influential people in this company.
Right. We'll definitely do that.
Oh, right.
How about you guys at One Dozen...
...take turns and check the stores?
You'd like us to oversee the stores?
I feel like One Dozen is neglecting what goes on at the store level.
That's just my personal opinion, so don't take it to heart.
No, sir. I'll talk to my team about it.
Okay. Then let's do that.
Okay.
Oh, Ms. Yoon. Did you prepare the thing I mentioned?
Oh, yes. I'll go bring it now, sir.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
–Excuse me for a moment. –All right.
Assistant Manager Han Jin–ju, right?
Yes, sir.
You look great.
Pardon me?
You must exercise regularly. I do too.
What kind of exercise do you do?
I do Pilates, sir.
My gosh, I knew it.
I used to do yoga in the past.
Isn't it uncomfortable to have a male supervisor?
No.
Not at all, sir.
I can tell at a glance that you're not the girly, friendly type.
Gosh, you scare me.
I bet many people tell you that you look cold.
How are you going to work in sales?
Smile, okay?
You're a woman, so you need to smile more.
Only then will your supervisor enjoy your company.
Look at Ms. Yoon. Doesn't she look so friendly?
Oh, yes!
My gosh.
(One Dozen Intranet, Reporting a sexual harassment case)
(Re: Am I the only one who's bothered by this?)
My superior always has something to say whenever I put on a skirt.
He probably thinks it's a compliment...
...but I want to stitch his lips together.
I really want him to stop paying attention to me altogether.
There are times when some remarks...
...that I let slide at work upset me when I get home.
I hate myself when that happens.
I feel like a loser for not being able to speak up.
Am I too sensitive?
(Re: Am I the only one who's bothered by this?)
(Workplace sexual harassment issues must be dealt with in the workplace.)
I completely understand why you couldn't speak up right then and there.
("Three Eyes")
Good evening, and welcome to the global talk show, "Three Eyes."
Tonight, we'll be talking about a very difficult topic.
Workplace sexual harassment.
Let's get started.
(Three Eyes)
As always, welcome back to the studio.
Niddy and Blair, it's good to see you.
–It's good to be here again. –Hi again.
Assistant Manager Han Jin–ju tends to be...
...outspoken and straightforward.
But when she experienced sexual harassment herself...
she couldn't say anything.
–She actually held herself back. –Right.
Do you know of any similar cases that happened in India or Australia?
How do people usually deal with something like that?
I actually see many campaigns these days.
Let's say a sexual harassment incident takes place now.
As the third party who is not involved in the incident,
I should say something. That's what the campaigns are about.
The victims are usually alone when such incidents take place.
The situation would be so much better if someone helped her.
–But people usually don't want to step in. –Right.
–They don't want to get involved. –Then it turns into a bigger problem.
In India's case, there's the POSH Act.
POSH stands for Prevention of Sexual Harassment.
The law states that everyone has the right to complain.
All victims of sexual harassment have the right to complain.
Also, if the workplace has more than 10 employees...
...it must form a community...
...and it has to have a female leader.
The government created this policy.
However, problems arise...
...when the workplace tries to cover it up so that the employees can't complain.
Let's say a sexual harassment incident took place.
The company may try to cover it up so that it can't reach government agencies.
–The law exists, but... –The legal framework exists.
But it's not functioning properly yet...
–...because of employers'... –It happens a lot.
–...attitude or mindset. –Exactly.
–It's just not there yet. –That's right.
I think the employer must be held responsible...
...when things like this happen.
–Yes. –That's right.
There was a toy manufacturer...
–...called Toy Quest. –I see.
An employee of the company was sexually harassed by her co–worker.
And she took legal action.
And the victim in this sexual harassment case...
...ended up receiving about 13 billion won.
But among the 13 billion won...
...only about eight percent was from the employee who had harassed her.
She received the rest from her employer...
...who let an unacceptable situation take place.
–They paid her as a penalty. –My gosh.
–That's amazing. –I think employers should be required...
...to pay monetary penalties...
–...because they need to realize... –That's right.
...they should pay more attention to the issue.
That way, they'll feel the urgency of the issue and the need to change.
–That's right. –Without that...
they'll just move their employees around.
–It won't be about the culture. –Totally. Right.
The work environment is created by the company.
–Exactly. –If the employer thinks it's okay...
...no one will complain and if the situation doesn't change...
...such incidents will inevitably continue to take place.
"Will I be able to work...
...without having to worry about being sexually harassed today?"
Creating a better work environment comes first.
You brought up such an important point.
We hope such incidents take place less often.
And we also hope all of you can come up with ideas to prevent them.
We hope Korea can become a country where sexual harassment...
...can be prevented and dealt with properly...
...when it does take place.
Then good night and good luck.
(Good night and good luck)
Why is Jin–ju taking the day off?
She didn't say anything yesterday.
Maybe she's mad at us because we gave her a hard time yesterday.
Ms. Han isn't like you.
Why would she be mad? She's not a kid.
Oh, today is Friday.
What's everyone doing after work?
Woo–young, how about we have your belated birthday party today?
Gosh.
I'd love that.
Mr. Kang.
Please join us.
Sure.
Then the first round is on me.
Nice!
Hey, newbie. You'd better join us today.
Are you going too?
Goodness.
Hey, Yu–jin is obviously coming.
Yu–jin isn't like you.
She always listens to me.
You're the one I'm curious about. What is it?
Do you have important plans or something?
If Yu–jin is going...
...I'll tag along too.
Okay! Why did it take you so long to say that?
By the way, what should we have for dinner?
Beef.
Beef!
(The Layout of the Past Season's Diary)
(Assistant Manager Han Jin–ju)
Are you serious?
Yes.
Why are you telling me about it just now?
You should've told me right away.
It's not my fault that I couldn't tell you right away.
He's the one who's at fault.
Right.
I was going to let it slide...
but I thought I should tell you.
I thought long and hard all night.
–I'm glad you told me. Let's complain–– –No.
I don't want to turn it into a big deal.
So she wants him to apologize to her personally?
With the project in progress, making it public won't do us any good.
Ms. Han said just an apology will be enough.
"I'm sorry. I'll be careful from now on."
–She doesn't want to make a big deal–– –No.
You obviously don't know him well enough.
To him, apologizing to her personally...
...is nothing different from making it public.
Either way, he'll be humiliated.
Of course, I'm not saying what he did is right.
But you see...
If you provoke him now...
...you may lose more than what you'll gain.
I'm not asking you for a personal favor now.
I'm notifying you as One Dozen's sales and planning deputy manager.
If he says that he can't apologize to her...
–...I'll–– –Okay.
I'll try talking to him first.
I'll try to persuade him, so don't turn it into a big deal.
What? An apology?
Yoon Hee–soo, have you lost your mind?
You did something you shouldn't have done.
Dear Lord, please forgive this man.
He does not know what he did wrong.
Hey, I told you not to speak in that weird language in front of me!
It's not like this is the first time.
I knew this would get out eventually.
I told you not to do things like that, sir.
How can I do my job when my supervisor keeps doing such things?
I just gave her a few words of advice, that's all!
That girl... What's her name again? Han Jin–ju?
Call her. Tell her to come here right now!
What are you going to do if she posts a voice recording on social media?
A voice recording? Of what?
What do you think?
A recording of everything you said to her yesterday.
She recorded the conversation using her phone.
You must be extremely careful with such things these days!
If that goes viral... Gosh.
She's willing to let it slide...
...if you apologize to her.
What will you do?
Darn it!
Jeez, for goodness' sake.
Gosh, darn it.
It was a lie, of course.
There is no recording.
He knows it's wrong, so he feels guilty.
Because of this...
...he'll stay away from anything related to One Dozen for the time being.
My manager is actually a coward.
Ms. Han.
Where is Ms. Han?
She took the day off.
Call her and tell her to come in immediately.
What's the matter, sir?
Those in Internal Affairs are going bonkers.
They're saying she made a complete mess.
I asked you to have her go through and organize the anonymous posts.
I never told you to report all of them to Internal Affairs.
What exactly did you tell her to do?
–It wasn't me who–– –I told her to do it, sir.
I told her to report every single thing.
I was the one who instructed her to do so.
This is really not good. Gosh.
–Why make a big deal out of–– –Well...
Why don't you sit closer?
Oh, shall I?
I mean, you're making a big deal out of nothing.
I read them all, and they're nothing serious.
Whether it's a serious problem or not is up to the victim to decide.
Also, if more people actively participate in the forum...
...the employees will be more careful.
If they feel that the company is paying close attention to the issue...
...they'll be more careful with what they say and do.
Also, I looked into it and found out...
...that there's a training program for honorary equal employment inspectors.
May I apply for it?
Since I've been given the title...
I'd like to do a good job.
I am sorry about the other day.
I will be careful from now on.
Why didn't I report him myself?
(Han Jin–ju, Sales and Planning)
Well...
Because I wasn't sure...
...whether or not the company would protect me.
Hence, I want to try creating a better work environment.
A workplace that respects and listens to all complaints and opinions...
...no matter how small and insignificant they seem.
"I completely understand why you couldn't speak up right then and there."
From now on, we'll try to come up with proactive preventive measures...
...through sexual harassment prevention training and lectures.
It's completely normal that you are bothered by it.
And it's okay...
...to be even more sensitive.
We spend the most time out of our day with our co–workers.
And maybe that's why we usually choose silence.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful from now on.
However, silence isn't the answer, and we know that.
Being able to say that you're uncomfortable and that it's wrong.
And admitting and accepting it.
If you truly want to be a good colleague...
...how about you start with that?
(List of displaced personnel from restructuring)
(Department, Name)
(Kim Young–geun – "Reminiscence")
–Submit the displaced personnel list. –Yes, sir.
What will you do? Will you leave the company?
This was obviously leaked.
We can take legal action against One Dozen.
I leaked information about our new product?
That is absurd.
If it's true, fire him immediately.
They're determined to fire me.
If he doesn't leave, I'll have to leave the company.
We won't change our decision.
Thanks for all your hard work.
I'll see you sometime soon.
(Episode 8: The 101 Reasons the Company Lets You Go)
What will you do if you're unfairly treated at work?
I will point out what was wrong about the way I was treated...
...and ask the person to apologize to me.
If I let it slide once...
...someone else may experience the same thing.
Of course, I'll handle it the same way when I see someone in that situation.
But there will be times when you won't have your way.
Well...
At such times, I'll consult a superior whom I can trust...
...or report the incident to the department in charge.
Even if I experience unfair treatment...
...there won't be any problems if I deal with it according to the protocols.
