Everything I've read about South Korea in recent years makes it sound like hell on earth.

The government will also expand the maximum amount of overtime an employee can take a week to 29 hours, meaning a maximum workweek of 69 hours. South Korea's government argues that the new scheme allows for greater flexibility, and expressed hopes that workers might work fewer hours overall

On Thursday, South Korea’s labor ministry even tried pitching the new rules as a way to support the country’s flagging fertility rate, which at 0.78 births per woman is the world’s lowest. Ministers suggested that staff might work longer hours one week in exchange for longer holidays elsewhere in the year.

Korean business groups have welcomed the plan, while unions and women’s groups have criticized the proposed rules.

The actual birthrate genocide is done by the US to occupied Koreans

The Korean government does not know how babies are made, does it?

[-] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 years ago

are you implying the fertility rate isn't directly proportional to the amount of time spent in an office? preposterous

Oh is that what they're saying? I fixated on the bit about longer holidays and thought, 'Well, that's not going to work.'

[-] Franfran2424@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

the plan is literally "work more some months, and procreate the extra month of holidays"

[-] Franfran2424@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

ey! we are just saying that if they want to work to death for some months to get one (1) extra month of holidays, they can do so!!

they can procreate in that etxra month, and then work to death with the baby in them!!

It doesn't sound like hell after knowing that these smugglers damaged the luggage rack of a Boeing 737.😂
