We will make you work longer until morale improves
Don’t know if the Korean business culture is like Japan’s. In Japan, male workers are expected to arrive at work before their boss and shouldn’t leave until after he leaves. Wonder if all workers at Samsung are going to be expected to show up on the weekends as well.
From what I recall, six-day work is normal with Saturdays being a half day.
How about not working on the weekends, and just making a $4000 refrigerator that doesn’t crap the bed in under a year and result in a multi-billion dollar class-action lawsuit???
Just make them work 7 days a week. Those people don’t need a life.
This is the typical dumb response of large companies. Top executives typically just make 3 or 4 decisions a day, most of the time they’re just listening and gathering information. If you’re not getting good results, the thing to do is find smarter executives who can make better decisions.
Bad idea. Studies show we all are more productive at 40 hours.
Those working 50-60 hours per week or more burn out and are less productive.
“doesn’t crap the bed”
You sleep with your fridge?
They are really lazy if they are not already working six or seven days a week.
They are the top spot.
Koreans make Japanese look like slackers.
I was the most minor tech business on the planet and almost always worked 7 days a week. Sold the business. Don't miss it at all.
“Those working 50-60 hours per week or more burn out and are less productive.”
You wouldn’t have enjoyed IBM.
Probably not.
Did IBM have such a culture? Perhaps that’s one reason why they lost Market Dominance and is now in 7th place in technology.
In Japan, male workers are expected to arrive at work before their boss and shouldn’t leave until after he leaves.

I had to do it for years and years. It’s good to spread it around.
If you can't get it right in five days, you aren't going to get it any more right in six.
Now they're going to be recruiting replacements from a shrinking pool of candidates. I've worked in companies that could no longer attract top-tier executive talent and it's not pretty.
As for the corporate CEO, I knew his driver and the CEO's hours were typically 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Mon. thru Sat. and he required his other corporate managers to work on Saturdays too.......
I once worked 28 days straight for a product intro for Intel.
Much later I worked 93hr weeks for 3 weeks for Intel.
After Obummer got his people inside working HR, I left.
Intel has not been the same company since 2010
