Uncapped overtime excuses bad management. I get why they're pissed, this puts a spotlight on how bad they are at management.

These bell ends never heard of overtime pay? Shift work?

This is because employees in South Korea can "only" work a maximum of 52 hours per week, including twelve hours of overtime. As a result, employees often have to leave work and go home even when important tasks have not yet been completed. For this reason, key employees of the Exynos team are reported to have worked unpaid overtime more and more frequently over the past few years, with the extra hours going unrecorded.

Why is SK's birth rate in the shitter.

We kept whipping and whipping but the work never seemed to get done. The only excuse they have is that half the team died from exhaustion or suicide, and they aren't getting severance!

Hire more people? Increase pay and vacation incentives? Provide employee protection?

Nah. Just make them work more unpaid overtime ans blame them for being unproductive.

In what I'm sure is totally unrelated news, South Korea's work force is predicted to shrink by half in the next 50 years.

Samsung doesn't care, they produce somewhere else by then. Globalism in a nutshell.
