I'm a <b>management-side</b> employment lawyer -- my clients are the employers, usually multinationals. The agreements I see are for country managers and other senior staff, both expatriate and Korean. Every day a new surprise: Some people are wildly overpaid, some wildly underpaid. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. My sample is representative only of foreign companies’ top staff.

I am glad that contributors to this thread can afford the shrinkage. Perhaps we should add a category next contributing to the presidential fund on our tax returns for Korean graft.

Trust me — I’m not paying more tax than most!" Brendan, surely not a representative sample of your average korean worker? Many don't even have an employment agreement let alone one inspected by a boutique firm of lawyers. “I work in an industry where I can see others’ employment agreements on a regular basis.

Go straight out the back door of Starbucks (Kangnam Station northeast exit, I think it's #7), and keep going up the hill about 50 meters or so. Food's good, and the many varieties of Alberta beer are great. Atmosphere a tad sterile, but about right for Kangnam...

In beer, the Korean “almost right” mentality doesn’t cut it.

Does it really cut it in anything? Bridges, department stores, natural gas distribution substations?
