(Malfunction Identifying System Development Task Force Team)

- Man. - What now?

I mean, the 52-hour workweek has become mandatory ages ago.

Don't you think this is wrong, Mr. No?

- Which line is it? - I...

Don't you think it's completely unfair...

to make us work until the evening of a weekend?

What can we do?

The beta test starts next week.

If you leave now, how are we going to meet the deadline?

Or Mr. Shin, you can make an offer...

to work for 24 hours toward the end of the project.

Then I'll report you to the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

Go ahead. Here.

Do it ahead of time. Take it.

- I'll do it. - Go ahead.

I'm getting a call. It's a call.

You can do it later.

Hey, Seon.

Dad.

Hey. Let me show you Byung Guk. One second.

- It's Seon. - Hello, Uncle Byung Guk.

Hey, I love you.

There's another ugly uncle here.

Take a look and see how ugly he is.

- Hi. - Hello.

Isn't he ugly?

No, he's good-looking.

- So what is it? - When will you come home?

I want some fried chicken.

You can ask Grandma.

She won't let you eat it?

No, it's not that. I want you to bring it home.

I want to eat it with you.

Really? Okay.

Okay, then. I'll be home soon.

- Come quickly. - Okay.

Mr. Choi, are you really leaving?

Yes, I should.

She must've missed me so much...

to use chicken as an excuse to make a video call.

Gosh, Seon just freed us.

Yes!

- Yes! - So who on earth is the team leader here?

You're the team leader.

May I go?

You're dreadfully persistent.

Let's go.

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

A special countermeasure?

Yes.

As soon as the takeover fell through,

the department was analyzed for management efficiency.

Up until last year, we expected it to go strong for the next five years.

But everything changed in just a year.

Its performance will take a downturn by the third quarter next year.

In two years, the department will begin to lose money.

(Personnel Reduction Plan for Changin Business Department)

Then will Changin Business Department...

Yes.

Changin Business Department will be dissolved.

Make sure you come by 8:00 a.m. and make sure you eat.

- Okay? - Why?

You have to come quickly for us to test it in the morning.

That's impossible, really.

- We need to get some sleep. - Let's just go.

- Isn't this unfair? - Let's go home.

Are you starting a new movement to promote diligence?

- Mr. Choi. - We have to let it pass.

- Mr. Choi. - Then you be the team leader.

Hey!

(Mr. Choi, keep it up in the research building!)

Mr. Choi,

keep it up in the research building.

Great work in Human Resources.

Ja Young, Dad finally found the January Bright card.

He found it.

All right.

Let's start all over again.

- Who are you talking to? - My goodness.

Did you do something? Why are you so startled?

I wonder.

It's because I'm low on energy.

- Long time no see. - Congratulations on returning.

- I saw the announcement. - Yes.

Anyway, shouldn't you treat me to a nice meal?

You were able to get off with a warning...

because you worked with me.

Right.

Well, yes. I've been thinking...

how I should pay you back for that.

There are a few options,

but I didn't know what you like.

Let me know what you'd like to eat.

Come on, stop that. You're scaring me.

I was just kidding, okay?

No, I should make sure I pay you back for something like this...

- not to feel indebted. - Forget it.

Just buy me a cup of coffee when I stop by Human Resources...

to get some paperwork done.

Congratulations, really.

Keep it up.

- Goodbye. - Okay, bye.

Congrats.

What's this?

Why is this broken?

(Mr. Choi, keep it up in the research building!)

Hello, Mr. Jeon.

What do you mean?

That's just ridiculous.

What?

Darn it.

Be rational about this.

This makes absolutely no sense.

The beta test for the Malfunction Identifying System...

will begin in less than a week.

And yet, you want to run a complete diagnosis...

on our first dishwasher?

Do you just expect us to wait for the next three months?

- Don't get all worked up. - It's just ridiculous.

Stay put.

Look.

You can just run a diagnosis on the main chip which was the problem.

Who knows if it may have other issues as well?

Will your team take responsibility if that happens?

You're really something, Mr. Jeon.

What?

I'm speaking as a former member of the QA Team.

Seeing how you work today,

I finally understand why your team members quit.

Gosh, even the senior staff is looking down on me.

Fine! Do as you please!

We're going to run a complete diagnosis on the first dishwasher!

- Are you serious? - Yes.

That's enough! What is this?

Hey! How dare you...

talk like that to him?

Mr. Jeon.

Don't you like ice flakes with syrup? Let's go have some.

Forget it.

Just eat it.

- Let's just go. - Gosh.

- Come on. - Gosh.

Come on. Let's go.

Mr. Shin.

Why did you join us?

Darn it.

I only brought you here because I thought...

your experience in the QA Team could've been of help.

But you're just pouring oil on the flames.

Oil?

You're the one who got worked up...

and shouted at him.

The flames were out of control from the get-go.

Since I had gotten worked up,

you should've taken a different approach.

- What did you expect me to say then? - We were doing the same thing.

There was no difference.

Then you shouldn't have...

Good going, you guys.

How did it go?

What do you think? It went well.

Really?

The beta test will go as planned.

Gosh, Mr. Jeon is quite a simple-minded man.

Did you convince him just like that by treating him to some dessert?

Did he seriously ace the job adequacy evaluation?

Maybe he cheated.

There's a catch, isn't there?

That sly man wouldn't have given in that easily.

What was the deal?

He agreed to diagnose the main chip first...

if we agreed to test thermal shock...

and humidity cycle.

We have no time to do that.

Mr. Shin, where are you going? We need to run some tests.

You're working me like a dog.

I haven't eaten, so I'm famished.

Mr. Choi.

I'm really curious.

What's does that Malfunction Identifying System mean to you...

that you'd work me like a dog?

I heard it'll help me get special employment.

Are you preparing to switch jobs?

Yes.

Once the beta test is done and the system is launched,

I'm going to apply to a systems engineering position.

- Is switching jobs bad or something? - No.

I'm just shocked that you dragged me into it.

I had no idea and let you use me.

I didn't use you. It's give and take.

But I didn't get anything.

Don't be ridiculous.

Thanks to my wise advice,

you joined the Home Workout Mirror team.

Right. Thanks to you, here I am.

The development progress is slow, and we have no team leader to shield us.

I should've remained at QA Team.

Gosh.

Why are you eating so slowly?

Hurry up. We're on a time crunch.

It's hot.

Say something.

Ms. Dang.

Yes?

It reads "High Security" here.

Could this be a private document?

Yes. It is private.

Then why would you share such private information...

with us?

Are we required to do something we've never done before?

For example,

are we handling layoffs?

That's correct.

This must be your first time laying off employees.

If you've requested any days off this month,

you should cancel them.

And always keep your phones with you.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

First, contact the executives.

What should the topic be?

Restructuring.

(Personnel Reduction Plan Guide for Changin Business Department)

"In order for this department to prosper even in the future,"

"we need to be strict and put in excruciating effort."

This is what the management said. That'll be all.

They always talk about putting in excruciating effort.

How much more excruciating does it have to be?

So? How many workers...

need to be laid off?

Among 1,200, the total number of employees at the department,

excluding those who will resign voluntarily...

Just cut to the chase.

Yes, sir.

Combining both office and research buildings,

three hundred.

That many?

Please tell me the minimum number of employees needed per department.

HR will take care of the rest.

We'll prepare the request forms for voluntary resignation then.

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

It's too much.

That's 30 percent lower than the current quotation.

We should pay them a base pay of 36 months and 50,000 dollars as consolation money...

in order for me to be able...

to negotiate with them.

What can we do when headquarters only gave us 26 million dollars?

If we do as you say, we need an additional two million.

Can't you guys work something out?

They've been working for this company for more than 15 years.

The least we can do is give them 50,000 dollars.

I can't do this.

Let's set the budget to 26 million...

and the consolation money to 30,000 dollars.

Mr. Son, they'll kill me if I only give them 30,000 dollars...

and try to lay them off.

If that'll settle this,

then isn't that a solution?

What did you say?

Please understand our situation as well.

We have a list of payments we need to make as well.

We're on a tight budget as well.

If you're that desperate,

then maybe you could deduct some...

from your salary.

You wench!

Did you have to side with him? Did you have to speak up?

What could I have done?

Headquarters' Finance Team gave us their order.

What order?

They vehemently forbade us from using more than 26 million.

They don't want to spend any more money...

on those who are going to get laid off anyway.

Darn it! This is just terrible.

Is it really that hard...

to give them a bit more consolation money if they're getting sacked anyway?

Exactly.

The rich are always the stingiest.

You can do it. Okay?

And be safe for the time being.

Okay?

I should get back. I have a lot of work.

Bye.

Jung A.

Yes, ma'am?

Aren't you worried about me?

Greatly.

Then how about this time, you actually prove it to me?

How do I put it?

Prove our friendship. How about that?

Our friendship?

Why does this feel ominous?

Gosh, this is incredible.

A contracted assistant manager was promoted to section chief.

She definitely pulled the right strings.

That's not the real problem here.

The problem is that someone from the Finance Team moved to HR.

Why?

Why do you think they moved her to HR?

They want to cut down on personnel expenses.

This department is going to get noisy soon.

Ms. Seo.

Have you heard anything from Mr. Bae?

Are they carrying out voluntary resignation or something?

An announcement will be made tomorrow.

I need to speak with you. Let's clock out together.

Care to tag along if you're curious?

I'm going to see him now.

Hello.

I'm Shin Jung A. I was transferred to Human Resources.

- You don't have to do that. - I'm so happy to have you on board.

- Thanks. - Ms. Shin.

- Okay. All right. - This way.

We've been waiting for you to join our department.

I see. Thank you for the big welcome.

But I wonder if such a big welcome is necessary here.

Totally.

Now, we have one more person to help us.

We were in a state of emergency.

We feel so reassured to have you here.

I see.

You're happy to have one more person who will get killed alongside you.

Okay. Since I'm here, I'll be right by your side.

- I look forward to working with you. - I look forward to working with you.

Sure. You should get back to work.

- You're here, Ms. Dang. - Hello.

You're here,

ma'am.

Hello, Ms. Shin. It's nice to see you again.

- Thanks, Ms. Dang. - Sure.

- All right. So that's the pantry. - Yes?

I see. Okay.

- And that's the conference room. - I see.

No one can find out that we're living together.

- Watch your tongue. - Okay.

Okay. You should unpack now.

- Okay. Thank you. - Okay.

All right.

- All right. Mr. So. - Yes.

Email everyone regarding voluntary resignation.

Okay.

- Bo Ram. - Yes.

Contact the Operations Team to post the announcement.

- What is this? - Voluntary resignation? No way.

Gosh. Five years?

- Look at this. - I can't believe this.

How can they do this to us?

- This is ridiculous. - I know, right?

(Announcement)

- Gosh. Come on. - Look at this.

- Did you read that? - The minimum duration is five years.

(Voluntary Resignation Announcement)

(Anyone who has worked at least 5 years is eligible.)

- We'll all get fired. - Gosh.

I pulled an all-nighter yesterday. And now, I find this?

How many people are they firing if the minimum duration is five years?

Look at the duration.

What will you do?

What do you think?

I must stay here until I finish building the Malfunction Identifying System.

Right. It's not the right time to leave.

But I'll leave the first chance I get.

Good for you.

Let's go back in.

To the wisteria.

But if this is applicable to us too,

I guess the company might go out of business.

I should have known when there were rumors about the sale.

Don't you feel a sense of betrayal?

Don't be like that. I know you wanted to switch jobs.

You can use this chance to get a hefty sum and leave.

But the consolation money is too little. It's a slap in the face.

Seriously? They are giving us only 30,000 dollars?

Hey, that's not the only thing.

Our salary is chicken feed, with no good benefits.

This company is just sad.

It's not about voluntary resignation.

We should just get out of this place.

Right. That's the only way.

I'm going to leave this time.

I knew it. You really are a key member of your team.

Right. You should be the first one who signs it.

What about you? You won't apply and just stay here, right?

I should.

But I can't go anywhere until my apartment gets rented out.

Right. Your team doesn't have a team leader now.

Wouldn't you be a shoo-in for the promotion once the dust settles?

We'll see.

- I'm so envious of you. - Come on.

Why? Product R and D Team Two might be replaced too.

No. Never.

Mr. No's son is a high school senior now.

Gosh.

He'll probably be staying.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hey.

Hey, Ban Seok.

Hey. They were badmouthing us, right?

They were probably talking about when the oldies would leave.

Gosh. When I was a senior staff member,

I was jumping for joy when I heard Manger Ma was leaving.

It feels like it was yesterday.

This is all karma. What goes around, comes around.

Did you think you'd never be an oldie?

I thought I wouldn't.

I thought I wouldn't become one.

Why are we wasting our time on this? I have tons of stuff to do.

Why did you want to see me here?

I wasn't the one who called you here.

- Go ahead. Tell us. - Okay.

I called you out here to share important information.

What are your plans?

Do you have to ask? I'm sure you know what our plans are.

Of course.

But I get the feeling this will be a hard fight.

Why do you say that?

I got this intel from Mr. Bae.

I heard that even if employees in our rank don't apply for voluntary resignation,

we'll be the first ones out.

Are you sure?

They also decided to restructure managers this time.

HR already has a list.

And people on the list will get the text messages.

You didn't get the message yet, right?

Offering an in-person interview for voluntary resignation.

You are eligible to have an in-person interview...

regarding voluntary resignation in the Household Appliances Division.

Please come to the interview room...

on the first floor of the Office Building before 5 p.m.

From Human Resources.

I sent the text messages to the first group of interviewees.

Okay.

Employees to offer an option to resignation.

(Choi Ban Seok, Manager)

Hey.

Even Mr. Choi?

Are you going to be okay? It's Mr. Choi.

- Jung A. - Yes.

It doesn't matter if I'm okay with it or not.

I have to get him to resign if that's what headquarters wants.

Got it?

(Hanmyeong One Clean)

Mr. Yang, you have been here since 2008.

You were a key member of your team.

Gosh. What is this?

Are we some monkeys in a zoo?

Or are we some petty criminals in the slammer?

What are they trying to pull here?

Seriously. This is how those people in Human Resources work.

They always make everyone feel uneasy.

They put us in a room that has no privacy!

Hey, Ban Seok. You tell us.

You used to work in Human Resources.

Why are they taking it this far?

This isn't your first rodeo.

Stop it.

Why would I stop?

Soo Gon. Don't you know rapports in Human Resources don't matter.

When the higher-ups tell them to fire us,

they'll tell us to leave right away. That's what their job is.

And besides,

is getting an option to resign something to brag about?

What would our juniors say when they see us having an argument?

Gosh. What on earth is happening here?

Are you serious?

Say that again.

What? Do you think I'm some freeloader?

Sir, please calm down.

Get out of my face.

I only said that...

there were a lot of senior staff members who could replace your position.

But I did not say that you were a freeloader.

- It's the same thing. - Gosh.

Mr. Yang, the company is in bad shape.

So we're only offering an option to resign.

Please don't let this upset you.

And please consider all of your options.

So I would like to ask you to consider resigning.

Mr. No Byung Guk.

Please, come in.

I'm sure you know...

that we're giving you an option to resign voluntarily...

because the company is in bad shape.

Yes.

So are you considering this option?

I'm not.

I see.

Once the period to apply is over, there won't be any consolation money.

And you will be laid off. You're aware of that too, right?

Yes. I know that too.

But...

Ms. Dang.

Yes.

I've been working for this company for 28 years.

This isn't my first time getting an offer to resign voluntarily.

I was able to survive every time it happened.

So I'm here now.

So let's not waste each other's energy.

No matter what you tell me,

I will not resign.

I can't afford to.

I understand.

Then let us wrap up this meeting.

Sorry?

I understand your intention, Mr. No.

Let us wrap up this meeting.

Right.

I think there's a misunderstanding,

so let me make one thing clear.

I've been dealing with resignations in Human Resources...

for the last ten years.

I've seen many staff members like you.

The company had been letting you off...

time and time again because they could spare to keep you.

But people like you think you've done something well...

to stick around here to this day.

You've been with us for 28 years, so I'm sure you know this.

Once the company is set on dismissing someone,

there is no one it can't dismiss.

And of course, I'm not threatening you.

I'm just stating the general fact.

Changin Business Department is...

out of resources to let you stay any longer.

Please discuss it with your family.

I'll see you again tomorrow at the same time.

Next, please.

(Job Category: Research and Development)

(B2C Research and Development, at least 5 years of experience)

(Do not accept the management's demand to leave.)

(Insist the dismissal or punishment isn't fair.)

Hey, Byung Guk came out.

Byung Guk.

Byung Guk.

(Waiting room for candidates of voluntary resignation)

Mr. Paeng Soo Gon.

Yes, okay.

(Candidates of voluntary resignation at Changin Business Department)

(Ms. Jin)

Hey, Mom. I'm a little busy. I'll call you back soon.

You aren't the only one who's busy. I'm busy too, kid.

What is it?

I'm making yukgaejang for dinner.

Why did you call me over yukgaejang?

I'm making this for Seon.

She said you seem to be working too hard lately,

so she asked me to make something delicious.

She took after you, so it seems like there's an old man inside of her.

Come on early tonight.

Mr. Choi Ban Seok.

We kept you waiting for long.

You may come in now.

(Changin Business Department, Choi Ban Seok, Male)

(Personnel Record: Choi Ban Seok)

Come in.

Please take a seat.

I'll conduct this meeting by myself.

Let's cut to the chase.

Do I...

really have to leave?

Really?

Do you have an intention to leave?

I do.

I'll leave.

All right. I understand.

Then sign here...

on the resignation agreement.

You'll find the terms for consolation money...

on this guide.

(Taking My Career Back!)

You'll find the details there.

But not now.

Give me just three months.

I'll leave after just three months.

Mr. Choi.

You know that's impossible.

Why not?

It's not like I'm demanding more consolation money.

It's not like I'll stick around until I retire.

I just want to stay...

for another three months, then leave.

Is that impossible?

We can't just do a favor for only you, Mr. Choi.

Those who have been here for over 20 years are...

to resign without any exceptions.

And there will be absolutely no exceptions to this policy.

Do you share the same opinion, Ms. Dang?

I'm sitting here on behalf of the management.

- My personal opinion won't... - No.

Stop hiding behind the management.

Do you also feel the same way? Do you?

I put in so much hard work on that Malfunction Identifying System.

They can't just kick me out after taking what they want from me.

Do you think that's all right, Ms. Dang?

Do you?

I thought I'd sound too cheap,

so I didn't want to say it like this,

but don't you think you can sit here right now...

thanks to what I did?

And the management sorted out the problem...

with the dishwasher at a reasonable cost.

And you can sit here right now...

without getting punished.

The company was spared, and so was your career.

All of you...

were spared.

Everything is good right now.

Then let me be spared too.

Mr. Choi.

I was going to use the Malfunction Identifying System to get a new job.

If I leave now, my career will amount to nothing.

I have to stay here until the system is launched...

no matter what I do.

I have to stick around.

If you think you owe me something,

then isn't this the least you can do?

I'll take your silence as an agreement.

Please excuse me.

(Voluntary resignation meeting for Changin Business Department)

I can't believe this.

(Voluntary resignation meeting for Changin Business Department)

Hello.

I was told to come here for voluntary resignation.

That's correct,

but you're not one of them.

I just want to file a normal resignation.

I see.

Come with me to the HR office.

There's someone else who's in charge of you.

- Of me? - Please, come with me.

- Do you want to resign? - Yes.

Mr. Shin.

Please sit down.

That little brat.

I joined this team under the condition of managing you.

Fine. Let's be honest with each other.

Why do you not want me to switch jobs?

And you? Why are you dying to switch jobs?

Do you know how many times it's been?

I had my reasons.

I resigned from Hwason because of my team leader...

who was hell-bent on ruining my life.

And I resigned from OQ because of my senior...

who forced me to work late until the weekend.

I see.

That's why you choked that team leader with a piece of pork belly...

and stabbed that demanding senior's hand...

with a lobster's claw.

What about Hanmyeong?

There's no crazy team leader here, and you get off work on time.

I see no vision here.

Why should I stay at a company that's going downhill...

and receive such a small sum of money?

What about you? How long do you think you'll remain competent?

You'll turn 40 soon.

What kind of company would gladly hire a worker who's been job-hopping?

- What do you think they'll say about you? - "What an expert job hunter."

Expert, my foot.

They'll think you give up easily.

Shin Han Soo.

There's no company that has...

wonderful workers, easy work, and also a vision.

Every company has its pros and cons,

so stay here for just six more months.

Then you'll have worked here for two years,

and I promise I won't stop you. Okay?

Okay?

(Second List of Employees to Interview)

(Choi Ban Seok)

I was going to use the Malfunction Identifying System to get a new job.

If you think you owe me something,

then isn't this the least you can do?

(Choi Ban Seok)

(Choi Ban)

(Second List of Employees to Interview)

This is today's list of employees we'll advise to resign.

(Director Gong Jung Pil)

Why isn't Choi Ban Seok on this list?

Please make a decision, sir.

Let's go with this.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

- Sir. - Yes?

This is a list of volunteers...

for the Malfunction Identifying System beta test.

Thanks.

Ban Seok, we have the list.

Hey.

(Washing)

Gosh.

Hey.

Thanks.

(2nd interview for voluntary resignation)

Hey.

We got the text.

Let's go.

Byung Guk.

I didn't get one.

He asked for a three-month delay?

And it worked?

That's probably why he's not here with us right now.

What?

Then she should've understood our situations as well.

This is unfair. Don't you think so?

- Yes. - Of course.

You're right. In that case,

I'm currently working on five projects...

and scored highly on last year's KPI.

- Right. - You're right.

If she's going to go soft because someone's competent...

or is in charge of a special position,

then we all have something to say.

Exactly.

Hey.

Soo Gon, how about you show us an example?

What do you mean?

Ms. Dang.

As you know,

I'm the team leader of the Purchasing Team who used to be a developer.

I know which components are cost-effective...

and have good relationships with those around me.

My supply chain is dependable as well.

On top of that,

I was able to rake in 2.8 million dollars last year...

thanks to my cost reduction skills.

All right. This year... Okay.

I promise to rake in four million,

so let's put this resignation talk behind us.

I trust that you understand. Goodbye, then.

Sir.

I think there's a misunderstanding.

This issue has nothing to do with your competency.

Why do you choose whom to be lenient toward?

Don't you think that's unfair?

Look. I'm still quite useful, so keep using me.

Just use me.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Don't feign ignorance. Everyone there knows.

Are you talking...

about Mr. Choi?

Yes.

Am I wrong?

I think there has been a big misunderstanding.

You want me to be the team leader...

of the Malfunction Identifying System TF Team?

Yes. I mean, you were already on the team.

But there's Mr. Choi.

He's been appointed to another branch.

Where?

You don't need to know that. Goodbye, then.

- Sir. - Goodbye.

(Household Appliances Division Choi Ban Seok)

Are you kidding me?

Are you?

What is this?

If you're not happy with this,

you can resign voluntarily.

Work here for three more months or...

receive the consolation money and resign right away.

The choice is yours.

Are you offended, Mr. Choi?

I'm offended too.

About what?

When President Han came to see the demonstration,

why didn't you...

tell me about the Malfunction Identifying System?

Why didn't you? In case I asked you to bury it?

Forget it.

Let's call it even. We're both sorry.

You have a visitor.

Okay. Show the visitor in.

Okay.

Come on in.

Hello. It's nice to meet you.

I'm the mayor.

- Nice to meet you. I'm Gong Jung Pil. - Hi.

- Please sit down. - Okay.

Mr. Choi.

- Mr. Choi. - What a fine company this is.

Serve them tea.

- She's my aide. - I see. Nice to meet you.

If you have any problems, you can ask my aide for help.

- Okay. I will. - Okay?

Actually...

From now on, when you get in trouble,

- you can talk to my aide. - Okay.

I'll take you up on your offer. Thank you.

All right. Thank you.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Changin Business Department is bigger than I had expected.

Right.

Among other businesses departments in the rural areas,

we're one of the top five business departments excluding factories.

Is that so?

- Please have some tea. - Okay.

Please have some.

Gosh. You guys are amazing.

Let's talk about scheduling now.

As for the Purchasing Team,

Product R and D Team One asked us to buy cameras.

Should I start...

the bidding process or not?

Let's postpone the project until the team leader is appointed.

Okay.

What about you guys?

Okay.

The Malfunction Identifying System for the dishwashers...

It's fully optimized.

We will run the beta test tomorrow.

Okay.

Let's wrap up the meeting here.

Okay.

You should go.

Hang in there.

Good work. Sorry about that.

Gosh.

Gosh. Those people in Human Resources are so cruel.

How can they transfer him to the director's office?

I know, right?

They should have put him in the cafeteria.

He'll just be humiliated during lunch.

They're making an example out of him.

"Leave unless you want to end up like him."

I feel bad for Ban Seok.

But I hate going to these meetings.

"Did you think about it?"

"The company won't change its policy."

I've been hearing that for a week on a loop.

Why are you so quiet?

Were you shocked to see him in there?

Well,

did you...

think about it?

Let's go.

Yes.

I've made up my mind.

(Name: No Byung Guk)

(Request Form for Voluntary Resignation)

(Request Form for Voluntary Resignation)

Is that...

everything?

Yes.

It's all done.

Thank you...

for your hard work.

I know dismissing...

someone like me was difficult.

Good work.

(Mr. No Byung Guk. Congratulations on your 20th year here!)

(Congratulations on your 20th year and your promotion to a team leader.)

(Product R and D Team 2, No Byung Guk)

You don't have to cry, guys.

What now, Mr. No?

What do you mean? It's just my time to go. Don't cry.

Let me carry that box for you.

Forget it. That's unnecessary.

Okay, then. Bye.

Ms. Jung, your tissue fell down.

I wanted to do whatever I can to stick around...

until Seung Min goes to college.

My persistence also died with age.

Did you talk it out with your wife?

Is she okay with it?

You can't afford to worry about my wife right now.

You should have a talk with Jung Pil.

He may seem uptight, but he's a softie at heart.

Seon is only eight, so you have to hold out.

Let's put that in the back.

Thanks for carrying it for me.

Thanks.

Go now.

Let's grab a drink soon.

I don't drink with ugly guys like you two.

Maybe later.

Much later.

Come on, you're making me really sad.

Byung Guk.

Don't worry too much.

Everything will go well.

Bye.

Let's go back.

(Director Gong Jung Pil)

Ban Seok.

This is killing me too.

But how long...

will you stay here like this?

You aren't someone who should be treated like this.

Let me ask you one last question.

Why did you take things this far with me?

Because you'll become a bad precedent.

You'd know because you've worked in Human Resources before.

There is no compromise when it comes to something like this.

If we give you leeway, we have to do it for everyone else.

Then who'll want to leave?

No one in this department will want to leave.

Everyone will end up staying.

I know.

That darned logic of Human Resources.

But you know what I'm like.

You've seen the things I've done...

to avoid getting kicked out miserably like this.

You've seen me through everything,

so how can you take things this far?

I personally think...

this is a big shame.

However, I can't destroy the company...

just to spare your career.

(Best home appliances for you, welcome to Hanmyeong Electronics!)

I have a favor to ask of you.

Did you decide to leave?

Could you hand this out?

You know what the repair service is about, right?

You'll visit them at home when One Clean is reported as defective,

then change the circuit board...

and install the detection app on their mobile device.

You get no extra pay, no travel expenses, and lunch is on you.

Also, the app you'll install today is the beta version,

so if the customers have any feedback,

please let me know right away.

- Not even travel expenses? - How are we supposed to eat?

How many places do we have to go?

- Where's Mr. Cha? - Why isn't he coming?

Can we change the board by ourselves?

- Okay, then. - I think so.

If you face any oddities during your repair run,

you can contact Mr. Lee from Customer Service of the Head Office.

You should greet him.

- Hello. - Hello.

You can report back to him right away. That's all.

Should I play some music?

Mr. Choi.

I wanted to clarify this because you seem to think I'm psychotic.

I didn't become the team leader of the task force because I wanted to.

It's because Mr. Pyeon...

Forget it. You don't have to make an excuse.

That's so unlike you.

It's because you look like you're about to put an end to someone today.

Will I end up dying today?

Don't worry. That won't happen.

Then what were you thinking when you volunteered for the beta test?

I wanted to wrap it up successfully.

(Malfunction Identifying System Open for Beta Testing)

(32 Garamsunhwan-ro, Ggotgaram Apartment 203-707)

Wait, this is right below Jung A's place.

Mr. Choi.

This house is right below my sister's.

That's so uncanny.

Hello. It's broken.

It's my place. Come on in.

It's steaming hot in here.

Did you apply for the beta test yourself?

- Yes. - Why?

Mr. Choi, that's overheating.

Shouldn't you turn it off right now?

- It's fine for now. - For now?

Mr. Shin.

I'm sorry.

Dang Ja Young speaking.

(Interview Room for Voluntary Resignation)

I need to see you right now.

What is this about?

I'm about to explode my dishwasher at home.

It'd be nice if you could come and watch.

What?

If you're too busy, read up on it later on the announcement board.

The title will be "Explosion of Hanmyeong Electronics' One Clean."

The person's ID reporting it will be...

Victim of Unfair Dismissal, so keep that in mind.

Goodbye then.

(On the Verge of Insanity)

You'll never be able to work in this line of work ever again!

I'm going to drag down both Hanmyeong Electronics and you.

So you won't stop until it's all over.

It's already over.

I'm almost done. I'll be going back now.

I pity you for staying around.

What do you want?

I want to go back to Changin.

I've never met a psychopath like you.

Speak for yourself. You're nothing short of a terrorist.

I warned you...

that Mr. Choi could cause trouble.

Please grant the disciplinary actions for Choi Ban Seok.

- Are you leaving? - Goodbye.

Hand in your resignation letter.

Why must I do that?
