Tax Time in Korea and the angry HR People

This is what happens when it is tax time in Korea. Unlike the U.S., where everyone is supposed


to do their own taxes, the company (or at least some companies) do them for you. We just need to provide the paperwork. So you have 3,500 employees in our building all needing to turn in the forms and paper work and what do you get? You get these 49 boxes of taxes (I counted them.).







The other thing you get are these angry HR people. They build their cave in this room and then post angry signs about what to do and what not to do and what to touch and what not to touch. I guess they should not have pulled the trick last year where they gave an early deadline for turning in forms, and then kept extending it. This year, they gave a relatively late deadline, planning on not extending it, and then got a continuous line (literally standing in line) of people waiting to get help and turn in stuff. Never cry wolf!
