About this deal

Kang opens in Seoul with Jina who is flailing from the aftermath of an abusive relationship with an older, more senior colleague. Although employees are reliable by design, it remains that they cannot be trusted in making decisions, hard decisions, anything that entails serious tradeoffs. If you were profitable you could give managers all the crap you wanted and they ate it because they were afraid of losing their jobs. There has been a wave of Korean novels examining sexual assault in the academic and work spaces, such as the novels of Cho Nam-Joo and ‘Violets’ by Kyung-sook Shin, however Another Person feels so visceral and uncomfortable compared to those. You can identify them at the following: they don’t give a f*** about their reputation, at least not their corporate reputation.

Love the fairly executed tale as the author managed to emphasize that these problematic and distressing event can inversely encountered by men as well; an alarming ‘another person’ situation that can impacted anyone in any ways. The usual questions we hear in similar cases, get real meaning and representation: How does the victim ”deserve it”? I had my back to the wall, but I took the gamble which forced me to engage in “arbitrage”, low risk transactions with small downside that were possible at the time because the sophistication of operators in the financial markets was very low. A gray area that was used by the ones with higher advantage, by those who hold more power than they already think they have.If I treat him better, if I remind him of how he used to feel about me, we can go back to being happy, like we were at the beginning. The story is well built, the characters could be built slightly better and the internal dialogues shorter or less self-conglatury but all in all I find this work pretty solid. While I do wish some parts were less gossipy, this is an interesting book that underlines how unkind the (online and offline) world is when it comes to specific gender (= women). The multi-layered prose with its alternating perspectives can be hard to grasp at times due to the back and forth timelines but I like how the author engrossingly observed the toxic workplace and campus culture— of victim blaming vs victim complex and the misogynistic issue which were quite harrowingly explored.

If the company man is, sort of, gone, he has been replaced by the companies person, thanks to both an expansion of the gender and a generalization of the function. It shades light on the mental state of abuse victims, and very similar but different ways of coping for each of them. You don’t have to guess whether you’re using certain words correctly or breaking grammar rules in your writing. If you frequently work with someone else'sExchange folders, you probably will want to add the other person's Exchange mailbox to your Outlook profile.procedure - The rules for the conduct of a lawsuit; there are rules of civil, criminal, evidence, bankruptcy, and appellate procedure. In the West, Saint Benedict of Nurcia, their greatest detractor, favored a more institutional brand of monasticism and ended up prevailing with his rules that codified the activity, with a hierarchy and strong supervision by an abbot.

You start thinking: well, you know, if Bob were a slave, someone you own, you know, these kind of things would not be possible. If you’re a young person, you may have questions about who has access to your profile as you get older. The view settings for the selected calendar will be in effect for the current calendar and for any additional calendars that you view subsequently in side-by-side mode. Total freedom is also a very, very bad thing for you if you have a firm to run, so this chapter is about the question of employees and the nature of the firm and other institutions. A federal court in one state, for example, can usually only decide a case that arose from actions in that state.habeas corpus - A writ that is often used to bring a prisoner before the court to determine the legality of his imprisonment. Courts are often bound by the decisions of appellate courts with authority to review their decisions.

It paces like a thriller, draws theories like a mystery, but vibrates with current affairs: the shadow pandemic of sexual assault. They may decide some criminal and civil trials when both parties agree to have the case heard by a magistrate judge instead of a district court judge. The plot followed Jina’s life after she decided to go public on her workplace sexual assault case that gets her trapped into a memory from the past due to one malicious comment she received.For instance, after the rise of Microsoft and the personal computer, IBM which was the main farm for company men, had to lay off a proportion of its “lifers” who then realized that the low-risk profile of the position wasn’t so much low risk. Lots of 'he said, she said,' lots of internal monologue and rhetorical questions, but very little plot advancement. After business school, I spent a year in a banking training program –by some accident as the bank was confused about my background and aims and wanted me to become an international banker.
