Those who know the Labor Standards Act have politely resigned, so the turnover rate is high and they will hire anyone.

Your first month on the job is basically a test of whether you understand the Labor Standards Act. If you don't, they'll keep taking advantage of you.

For example, during the first month, they claim that the probationary daily wage is 1,000 per day. It's still 1,000 per day in 2025, and holidays are unpaid.

It's clearly a monthly salary, yet they start deceiving you from the first month, specifically targeting people who don't understand the law. As long as you don't know, the exploitation is endless. If they're caught, they say, "If you're unhappy, go sue us." They also issue the employment contract on the first day and, not long afterward, urge employees to sign it as soon as possible, apparently afraid that workers will read it or take photos.

Here's a hard truth that many people don't want to admit:

Even gang bosses understand the Labor Standards Act.

Not because they are especially law-abiding,

but because they know very clearly—

if you cross a certain line, things will spiral out of control, escalate, and become impossible to contain.

On the other hand, the people who most love breaking the law and pretending not to understand it

are a bunch of small and medium-sized business owners, like this one. It's not that they don't understand;

they understand and choose not to comply,

because they are betting that workers will get tired, let it go, and not want to deal with it.
