'The Best Moment To Quit Your Job'

Yeonji's wish

Kim Yeonji.

Stop talking like that!

Who cares if you work at an office or not?

That's inferiority complex, right there.

The place you had an interview at, Haven't they announced yet?

Have you heard from them?

I didn't make it

as usual.

Why do you always talk like that?

Who's gonna want to hire someone this insecure?

I'm sorry.

It has been hectic these days, so I'm a little cranky.

Do you think I'm pathetic, too?

Don't start this.

Let's not argue.

Why don't you say you want to break up?

We haven't been back together for that long.

Let's not do this.

We're just tiring each other out.

So let's stop here.

I have an interview.

Yeonji!

Yes, Mr. Choi.

Yes, I've finished my lunch. I'll be right up.

The presentation file?

Hello? I'm here for an interview.

-Where can I find your boss? -Go in there!

Excuse me! Do you know where the boss is?

-I'm here for an interview. -Go over there!

Are you persistent?

I'm sorry?

We need someone who'll be here for long.

Young people tend to quit too soon these days.

What about you, Ms. Kim Yeonji?

Yes

I'll do my best.

Two months, three months...

The longest you worked was six months?

Why are they all so short-term?

I was an intern, and a contract worker,

but never had a permanent position.

Here, three month internship will get you a permanent position.

Okay.

I really...

would like to work here.

You have experience only in desk jobs.

But since you went to art school, you must have a keen sense, right?

Yes. I'm good at both Photoshop and Illustrator.

Where is this university?

Gwangju...

-Jeonrado? -No.

It's Kyungkido Gwangju.

Is your voice always that tiny?

No.

Okay, you can go now.

-I'll contact you later. -Okay.

Bye.

Here you go!

500 won, please.

You treat your customers like this?

I'm right here and you don't even look at me.

That's right.

Why would you do that?

You were staring at the ground.

I was reading a book.

You're lying! You always don't make eye contact.

Stop it! When is your shift over?

Two more hours to go.

Call when you're done. We'll be out until late.

It's Friday.

Four women and Friday? So exciting.

Okay, I'll catch you later.

Here is 500 won.

Ms. Yeonji!

I hate to tell you this, but today is your last day here.

I know you've worked so hard.

Hello.

Yeonji!

Any customer harassed you?

Two hours and you look older.

I got fired.

Why?

My boss is doing the evening shift himself.

Business is slow, so he can't even pay me.

Cheer up, Kim Yeonji.

You've got to get a job and pay back what you owe me.

This year's the worst.

I got fired twice, and even lost my part-time job.

I've been getting rejected nonstop.

So I feel like I'm no good for anything.

Not this again!

Hey, people live to be 100 these days.

We've only lived a quarter of that.

Who knows what'll happen next?

Yeah, salary is not going to make us rich.

We can't even afford a house.

At least if you work part-time, you won't starve to death.

We're all on the same boat.

Right. You have food, and a roof over your head.

You're lucky.

People need more than food and a roof over their head.

Do you know what it is that you all have and I don't?

Looks?

Charm?

No.

A business card.

I really want a business card with my name on it.

Yeonji, you've always worked so hard.

Doors will open for you If you keep trying.

Yeah.

Eat this and cheer up.

We're buying for Yeonji today.

Shall we toast?

I...

broke up with Minwoo today.

You up?

I'm off to work.

Namhee!

Never mind, have a good day.

Yeonji, I'm back.

Kim Yeonji!

Where is she?

What's going on? She left her phone here.

Namhee?

Hey! Where were you?

You didn't even call...

I got hired!

I'm starting tomorrow!

The place you went to yesterday? You liked it, right?

Yes! A spacious factory.

A planning department designer.

After three months, I'll get a permanent position!

Awesome! You had no opportunity to put your major to use.

That's so nice!

But where have you been?

What is this?

I bought it.

Seriously? White socks?

Are they a symbol for a new start?

I'll get a permanent position no matter what.

I'm happy for you.

This is Kim Yeonji, our new member.

Welcome.

I'll show you the office.

I told them not to put boxes there.

The stairs are narrow and steep, so be careful.

Come in.

I told you not to have boxes piled up there.

Ms. Kim, Yeonji's here.

Nice to meet you.

Boss, you should ask the factory head to tidy up boxes.

I don't like seeing boxes there, either.

Ms. Kim, when you're in the office.

it'll be just the two of you most of the time.

Try to learn as much as possible, and good luck.

Yes, sir.

I'm going to Shinwoo Trading, I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

He's just gonna drink again.

Ms. Kim Yeonji?

Yes!

You know something?

We weren't exactly eager to have you here.

Yes, this is Jungjin.

Where?

Dong-seong Church? Hello.

The baseline amount is 1000.

Can you clean this up?

Well... Sure!

The draft will take at least 3 days.

And it should be done by this weekend.

Yes.

Yeonji's job

-Ms. Kim Yeonji. -Yes?

Do you not want to be here?

I said, do you not want to be here?

Are you listening?

Yes...

If you don't want to work, just say it.

You know what I mean, right?

I'll take it that you understand.

Yes, Jungjin Industry.

Address check?

Ms. Yeonji? Can you take a look at this?

Yes, we were told to send it to Yeonsu-dong.

The person in charge contacted us, so we sent it there.

Can you look at my computer?

It takes about two days for us to get it done and place an order.

Yes!

Yes, thank you

I was on the phone, president.

Oh? I didn't know that.

I wanted you to see if my computer was broken.

How are you? How's the work?

It's not too difficult, is it?

No.

President! The power switch was off.

If you take a look, this switch is off.

You just turn this on.

Yeah?

I'm going to the factory. Can you fix it while I'm gone?

I'll take it...

Jungjin Industry.

The unit price?

It should be 145 won each.

Yes, thank you.

Is it an order?

Yeah, there's an order. They're sending it by mail.

From where?

To the company address?

What was it?

It was some English name.

"C..."

I don't know.

Just wait. We'll get a call.

I'm going to the factory.

Why aren't you answering the phone, Ms. Yeonji?

I...

Answering the phone is your job. Don't make the president do it.

His computer...

You're such a piece of work. Honestly.

I'm sorry.

If this goes wrong, are you gonna be responsible?

He can't even remember where calls come from

and you let him answer calls?

What is this?

We sent two drafts yesterday,

and they're asking for another one?

Jesus!

Jungjin Industry.

Why hasn't our thing arrived yet?

I ordered it on Monday.

Hold on, please.

Um, chief.

He's saying the order hasn't arrived yet.

Don't ask me, check the invoice first.

Okay.

Hello? What's your address?

Dongwoo, obviously.

Um, we don't have any orders from you.

What are you saying? I called you and sent the money.

Whose name did you transfer the money under?

Kim Bokdong!

You said you can't process it before I pay.

-So I put the money in right away. -Right.

Well, it's...

You did transfer the money.

But it seems there was a mistake on our part.

It seems the order got canceled, and we couldn't move it forward.

What? You took my money and forgot my order?

-I need it now, what should I do? -I'm sorry.

I'll check it right away and get the process going.

I'm in Busan.

-Send it by courier service today! -Okay, I will as soon as possible.

-I said today! -Got it. I'm so sorry.

Are you kidding me?

What is it?

What?!

Um...

I think the order was canceled.

Order receipt, depositor, invoice list

I told you to check these things one by one!

Didn't I?

I did that, but...

You've been working here a week.

And you can't even manage something as simple as that?

I'm sorry...

Quick delivery?

You think you can make decisions without my permission?

Are you going to pay? What the heck are you thinking?

I'm sorry.

Why do you even come to work in the first place?!

I knew this would happen.

No wonder you got fired from your last job.

Did you check the order?

No...

We need to know what the order is before working on it.

Are you that stupid? Do you even think?

What are you doing?

You've got to give them a call.

Tell them we're gonna check the order and send the package tomorrow.

Tell him we can't send it today because it takes time to complete.

Okay.

Where did that idiot come from?

'Where did that idiot come from?'

'Idiot.'

Busan Dongwoo Sample A 3,000

Ms. Yeonji, where have you been?

I was getting a drink.

You're not going to the factory?

Sorry?

You need to go adjust the schedule so we can send the order tomorrow.

Tell them it's because of your mistake.

Ask them to work on the order from Dongwoo first.

Okay.

How are we supposed to do this on time? How?

I'm sorry.

Okay, I got you.

Thank you, thank you so much.

I'm off now, so check the invoices.

Okay. Have a good evening.

Ms. Yeonji.

Yes?

What is it?

Are you coming to work on Monday?

Of course.

Never mind.

Get back to work.

Am I...

going to survive in this place?

Yes. You can do it.

I feel like I'll mess up again this time.

I'm scared.

Have confidence.

I've been getting yelled at for the whole week.

I really feel like there's a problem with me.

Everyone's like that in the beginning.

It'll get better.

I feel like it's always going to be like this.

Is there really something wrong with me?

Maybe there's no hope for me...

That's not true.

You swore you were going to get a permanent position here.

I did.

But you see.

I'm so exhausted...

Recognition failed.

Please speak again.

"My girls, wanna go for a beer today??"

Hye-young's happiness

-Welcome! -Hi.

-Hi. -Fresh bread, take your pick.

Ask if the cake is done.

Okay.

Excuse me!

The president keeps asking when the cake will be done.

I just need to get this done.

Okay.

"3 o'clock, the sleepiest time of day for working people."

"How about some sweet cake for an energy boost?"

Ms. Yoo.

-Is the cake done? -Yes, it's going out right now.

Why do your cakes get sold so fast?

What are you saying?

It's obviously because I make it nice and delicious.

Right, right.

It's all thanks to your skills.

-By the way... -No, sir

What do you mean, no? I haven't even told you.

You got a group order again, didn't you?

How did you know?

We have an order in for 500.

Sung-gwang Church is having a student picnic or retreat...

Sir!

Yes?

You promised me you wouldn't take group orders.

I did, but Sung-gwang Church...

Are you gonna work with the oven?

With no air conditioning, it goes 40© with the oven on.

Also, other bakeries use at least one part-time worker.

I do all the work by myself, you know?

Do you want me to go somewhere else?

Okay.

I'll tell them we can't do it.

And...

We should make another cake, just in case.

Here you go.

-Is this what you ordered? -Yes!

-Is today your birthday? -Yeah.

Happy birthday.

-How many candles? -Eight, please.

"The cake looks so good"

"Pretty!"

"Can you make one for me, too?"

"My girls, wanna go for a beer today??"

How do you ask for ramen in the middle of the night?

What's funnier is she really gave ramen.

She just had some in the house.

That's her way of telling you to leave.

Where did the ramen come from?

Kim Yeonji's backpack!

Who would've thought she packed it?

That was the first time we four went on a trip, right?

Probably.

-Where's our Miss Timid? -Hi, guys.

I told you to keep your shoulder up.

I'd be dancing if I had a new job.

Can we get a 500ml here?

Let her be. She's been like that.

-Why? -What do you think?

There's apparently a psycho at her work.

She's been completely harassing her.

It's the worst if you don't get along with your boss.

I just need to work harder It'll get better.

You think?

Doing nothing won't help you one bit.

I had a go with my boss just today.

Why?

He wanted me to take out the trash from the store.

So I told him it wasn't a baker's job.

I gave a really logical argument.

He eventually gave in.

I didn't get along with my boss in the beginning, you know.

I respect an employee standing up to her boss!

But I'm still just an employee.

When an inspector comes by, I can't say a word.

Anyway, Yeonji, you can't just take that sitting down.

People are gonna treat you even worse if you do.

It's not like I want to.

I do it because I need to make a living...

After three months, I'll get promoted to a regular position.

I don't know if I'll make it until then.

You should just stay quiet even more then.

And just take it?

That's how it is for newbies...

But this time, you're putting your major to use.

You've gotta stay put and build up your career.

-Right? -Of course.

And people like that? They're everywhere.

Are you gonna whine to us every time that happens?

You can't work anywhere with that attitude.

That's kind of harsh.

This is what friends are for.

Who else are we gonna complain to?

Let's not burden each other.

Aren't you tired of talking about this all the time?

You'll be promoted after three months.

So what's the problem?

I'm leaving.

Now? Why?

Hyun, what's the matter?

I'm not gonna sit here and listen to how hard life is.

I'll be back in a minute.

Should we order a soju?

Hyun, what's the matter?

Did something happen at the school?

No.

Why did you follow me?

-Let's go back inside. -No, I'm gonna go.

Bye.

See you.

Get a taxi.

Text me when you get home.

What's wrong with Hyun?

She's just tired, too.

Yeonji, don't mind her.

She's not the only one that has it hard.

She's got the least problems out of all of us.

She thinks she's better than us? Because she's a teacher?

She just has a big ego. We should understand her.

No. It's because of me, I'm sorry.

I whined too much, when I just need to try harder.

Hye-young.

How's your feet?

What about her feet?

It's a condition you get when you stand for too long.

Plantar fasciitis. It comes with what I do.

Yeonji, how about writing your boss a letter?

A letter?

You don't want to quit this time, right?

Then you've got to work on your relationships.

You won't be able to say anything in person, right?

So just write a letter.

Say you're going to try to do better.

Or something like that.

A letter? That's cringey.

It could work.

A letter...

Just trust me on this, Yeonji.

I'll drop by with some food, okay?

Keep your shoulders up straight.

-Okay! -Straight!

I'm gonna go now.

-Be careful. -Bye.

I envy Hye-young.

Because she says everything she wants to?

That's one reason.

She does what she likes.

When she dropped out of college saying she wanted to be a baker

I was worried about her.

It was so out of the blue.

Is Hye-young happy, then?

Ms. Yoo, did you get a group order yesterday?

No, I said I won't do it.

That's good.

All that packaging would've kept us here forever.

You're the best, Ms. Yoo!

Don't mention it...

I want to get my nails done.

Ms. Yoo! Ms. Yoo, a word?

Hello, ma'am.

That croissant needs to be bigger.

That's about the right size for a croissant.

If I make it bigger, it won't look pretty.

Can't you just do as you're told?

There's an order for 500 breads from a church, you got to do that.

I talked to the president about that.

A deacon at the church is my friend.

It's a special order for a retreat they're having.

And did you not know the church buys 50 breads here every Sunday?

Then you need to have more bakers.

Or a part time worker...

You think this store could have two bakers?

This isn't a problem for other stores.

Is it an impossible demand, huh? Should I talk to the headquarters?

If the headquarters gets a complaint from a store

there's penalty for the baker. Isn't that right?

Right.

Okay, I'll do it.

Good.

I'm doing what I want.

So I should be happy.

I wonder how long you'll survive.

Namhee had better work harder or she'll get replaced.

Will you cut it out?

I have my dreams. I want to give all I've got.

It makes me sad that you're the only one that gives me relief.

Why am I so overwhelmed by the thought of going to work?

What do you want me to do?!

-Chief? -What?

You want to quit?
