Chapter 411 Interns are too strong (2)
Arcadia employees suffering from heavy workload.
No one dared to think of resigning due to the huge welfare benefits and unparalleled annual salary, but in fact, the working environment at this company was the worst.
Irresponsible boss and calls pouring in from all over the place.
There’s even a system where the taffy seller keeps changing things at will.
None of them were friendly to the employees, so there were a lot of difficulties in handling the work, but they were even more likely to die because of the recent incident. And to relieve the stress they receive from work, they instinctively moved to a restaurant located in the alley right in front of them after work.
[Jaesun’s Marinated Ribs]
A barbecue restaurant located near the headquarters of Arcadia Co., Ltd. The reputation that the taste is good at a reasonable price spread through word of mouth, and at some point, this restaurant became the exclusive restaurant for the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. In the restaurant, with the sound of meat sizzling over briquette fires reverberating here and there and the delicious smell wafting out, they were huddled together and chatting with each other in a lively atmosphere.
“Ugh… I really can’t do it, chief.”
“that’s right. No, those slimes weren’t even designed by us, so why are you asking us to submit a report on the related changes?”
“If that’s the case, what about us? I haven’t even created a crisis scenario or anything like that, so what does it mean to bring supplementary measures and future countermeasures in relation to that?”
“Ah… I’m busy writing research papers, so why do you want us to apply for a complaint call?”
“Boss, I’ll have a drink here. Let’s get it…..”
Employees from each department gather together to have a dinner.
“So if we really break that final scenario or something, would you give us 15% of our company?”
“Why are you asking me that? I don’t know.”
“Hey, you work on the Crisis Management Response Team. Anything to say there?”
“Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was also laughing while watching the live broadcast with us. What…” “
Hey, so that’s what the company I was collaborating with this time…”
“Reporters, one more time, my personal number If you call me, I’ll sue you for a real privacy law violation.”
“So… the manager then…”
A space of peace where you can talk about all sorts of things with like-minded motives or friends and unravel the lumps in your heart. Suddenly, uninvited guests, whom we have never seen before, appeared in a rush in a space that was like a resting place for the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd.
“Ughhhhh~. Are you here?”
“Madame! Is there room for about 10 people here?”
“Boss! Please sit here!”
“here! Please spread six servings of meat for each table and bring plenty of alcohol!”
A bunch of guys who have already been drunk from where they came from. Even if they tried not to pay attention, they had no choice but to give it to them, so they chose only what the so-called truth would do.
“hey! I’m the youngest! Sing a song coolly in front of our manager!”
“ruler! Attention everyone. Our manager will tell you something!”
“Ugh. this bastard! hey! Why are you so drunk already? do not lie down This is a restaurant!”
Uninvited guests lying on the floor and falling asleep singing strange songs that they couldn’t bear to listen to, and making a fuss with each other with excitement.
It was an instant that the eyes of the employees who were interested in an outsider who suddenly appeared in the restaurant where most of the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were stained with displeasure.
“Those people… why are they like this…?”
“I see… It looks like a dinner party, but it’s already tasted like that, no matter what time it is?”
It’s only 8 o’clock in the evening, but if anyone sees them, they look like they’ve already had a binge until dawn. And in their mouths, one word was repeated over and over again.
“Our retail store ranked first in sales this quarter among all domestic and overseas branches of KG Electronics!”
“The CEO of KG Electronics… Huh? Do you know what I said when I was a new employee?”
“KG Electronics…..”
A company that is repeatedly mentioned in a loud voice as if to be heard.
KG Electronics.
That moment when many people frown on their nonsensical behavior. Suddenly, a man with a stern look who had been drinking loudly began to argue with the table next to him.
“hey. Why are you looking at me like that?”
The dining table of Arcadia Design & Development Team.
There, an employee glanced sideways at them and accidentally met their eyes. The man who approached him and questioned him with a fishy smile as he looked at him with a stiff face and his mouth closed.
“Why are you looking at me with such bad eyes? What’s wrong with us drinking? yes?”
“When do you think I saw you?”
“What are you not seeing? They obviously made eye contact with me.”
The table cooled down in no time. While everyone was staring with stiff faces, Manager Yang Min-hyeok glanced at the man’s colleagues.
‘One… they’re all the same guys.’
All of them are watching this scene with curious eyes, giggling at what kind of interesting spectacle it is. Manager Yang Min-hyeok sighed inwardly as he saw that he had no intention of stopping his colleague, and handed over his apology as gently as possible.
“Sorry for this. It seems our staff was rude. I’ll apologize on your behalf, so it’ll ease your mood.”
In a situation where there are many other employees, Manager Yang Min-hyeok bows his head and apologizes because he doesn’t want to go to the cubicle for nothing. However, despite receiving an apology, the drunkard suddenly flashed bloody eyes and spoke sternly.
“What are you interfering with? this bastard.”
“…..”
He hardened his face when he came out hostile while swearing. However, the drunkard’s colleagues cheered as they watched this scene.
“Hey. Our Minsik really has one temper.”
“Hahaha. Since ancient times, a man must have spirit to do business!”
“We don’t have money, don’t we have Gao?”
A group of people who rushed right away, bowed their heads and apologized, and even applauded with excitement at a situation where it would not be enough even if they dragged their fellow employees.
Director Yang Min-hyeok, who was sitting still, dumbfounded as he watched the appearances of those who could not be understood with his common sense, suddenly felt a strong force come into his neck.
“uh? What are you! did i ask you X rice that doesn’t even seem like a handful.”
“This person…!”
A drunkard who suddenly rushes in and grabs himself by the collar and shakes him roughly. Surprised by his sudden action, his colleagues and several Arcadia employees approached and tried to stop the fight, but it backfired tremendously.
“These bastards…? Guys! Are they flocking there in droves?”
“hey! Who are you to touch this deputy?”
“I’ll show you the spiciness of KG Electronics! Come on!”
Cudangdangtang. Clink.
The restaurant became a mess due to a gang fight that broke out in an instant.
Food such as meat and side dishes are scattered on the floor, and pieces of broken bottles and bowls are flying all over the place. And the vivid photos of all those scenes were accidentally taken by a reporter who was enjoying a meal there, and decorated the newspapers and news the next morning.
[Employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. having a gang fight after drinking. Discipline is serious.]
* * *
Normally, the media and companies are close to a symbiotic relationship.
Companies who want to write articles in a tone favorable to them. It was common for them to maintain amicable relationships by providing reporters with information that could be used for gathering, and also by hanging advertisements on paper, and benefiting from both sides, but Arcadia was an exception.
[We do not accept requests for interviews at all. For inquiries, contact the Public Information Department.]
[I don’t know. I don’t know. You don’t know!]
[How did you get my number and call me? Do you really want to sue?]
[You know this is not an interview, it’s just stalking…?]
Arcadia Co., Ltd. is a company with global influence and is receiving the attention of all media.
That’s why even a single decent article has an enormous ripple effect, so reporters trying to find something to steal are wandering around, but they didn’t show any favors at all.
The employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. keep their mouth shut and do not provide any information.
That’s why this gang fight incident was a large-scale controversy that appeared in an instant, and all kinds of media outlets clung to it, chewing, biting, and tasting it repeatedly.
[At around 8:00 yesterday evening, there was a report that the executives and employees of Arcadia, a world-class virtual reality company, had a gang fight in a restaurant. The owner of the restaurant explained that there was a quarrel with customers at other tables during a peaceful dinner. The traces seen in the video show how fiercely the fight took place.]
-The restaurant owner’s heart was broken like a broken wine bottle.
– Arcadia Co., Ltd. Unusual employee abuse issue?
– Controversy over the morality of Arcadia employees.
And thanks to that, it went directly to the ears of President Lee Mi-yeon, who was drinking morning coffee.
“Did you see the news today, Executive Director?”
“yes. I saw.”
As if he had already grasped all the circumstances, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han responded immediately to President Lee Mi-yeon’s answer. He started to explain the situation in as much detail as he could, as if he didn’t want to offend her, who had been hysterical and irritated recently and had reached the limit of sensitivity.
“So… you mean it happened when the design and development team accidentally got into a fight with drunken people they didn’t know at a dinner party?”
“yes. Related information has already been confirmed through employees in other departments. All of them said they did nothing wrong.”
“….is it so….?”
A situation where it is clear that the other side is at fault no matter who hears it. That’s why President Lee Mi-yeon had a slightly uncomfortable expression, but in relation to him, he did not make any more of an issue.
“I understand that the fight was just a trivial drunkard’s dispute… How could such a trivial incident even get published like this?”
“A group of reporters happened to be eating at the restaurant. It was so late in the evening, so I thought it was strange, so I looked it up separately, but he said he was one of the reporters who often wandered around the company building for coverage.”
A situation where he was accidentally caught by a hyena that was wandering in search of news. There was no particular problem, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon warned as if she didn’t like this situation, where people were already talking about Arcadia on TV and news articles.
“Well… I can’t help it with what happened, so I’ll move on this time, but tell me to refrain from drinking parties or drinking parties near the company for the time being. In the future, if the act of creating controversy and ruining the company image recurs in this way, I will not stand by.”
“All right.”
President Lee Mi-yeon coldly glares at her, as if asking her to try it one more time. Then, he said in passing to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who lowered his head in disappointment.
“So the opponents you fought with are the KG Electronics personnel?”
“Yeah… I can figure it out by something like that.”
It’s not a problem between companies, it’s a quarrel between employees. He had no intention of protesting about it, but Lee Mi-yeon, the president, muttered lightly, clicking his tongue without thinking about it.
“Looking at the employees, I can tell what the company is like without even looking at it. I understand, so go and work.”
That’s how KG Electronics got stuck with a lot of hate.
As a company, to the executives and staff of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who absolutely have to bow their heads and bow down in order to survive.
