One of the workers jumped off a building. [1] They say the person was not being investigated for the incident. But I can’t help but think he was a put under intense pressure to be scapegoat for how fucked up Korea can be in situations like this.

To be some context on Korea IT scene, you get pretty good pay and benefits if you work for a big product company, but will be treated like dogshit inside subcontracting hell if you work anywhere else.
