In manufacturing fields, while working in company or business trip, it happens accidental death, death from overwork and suicide. I have experienced that two cases in my first company. = In the manufacturing field, whether working at the office or traveling on a business trip, tragedies like accidental deaths, death from overwork, and suicide do happen. I personally experienced two such cases at my very first company.
In my former company, a coworker of mine who was from my former company did suicide. He did suicide that's because he got fired. Before passing away, He invited about 30 people on Kakao Talk such as his customers, cowokers including workers quitted and boss. = At my former company, a coworker of mine died by suicide. He took his own life because he had recently been fired. Before passing away, he created a KakaoTalk group chat and invited about 30 people, including his clients, current coworkers, former employees who had already quit, and our boss.
At that time, I quitted former company. We all invited the chat in the morning. I was seeing these message at the public bathhouse in the morning before going to work. He sent long-foam messages to us with the vedio wills......about 5-7 minutes. = At that time, I had already left the company myself. We were all added to the chat early in the morning. I remember reading his messages while at a public bathhouse right before getting ready for work. He sent long-form messages along with a video will that lasted about 5 to 7 minutes.
At first, I thought that it was just kidding and bad joke. Who do someone send wills of death in the morning to customers and coworkers before passing away? He sent wills and then He blocks all contacts. He was missing. Next day at night, finally, He was found by river near his company. Unfortunately, mass media was so silent. anyone knows his death excluding some people. The world is going the way. It's like it doesn't happen that. = At first, I thought it was just a bad joke. Who sends a death testament in the morning to their clients and coworkers? Right after sending it, he blocked all of his contacts and went missing. The next night, he was finally found by the river near the company. Unfortunately, the mass media was completely silent about it. No one knew about his death except for a few people. The world just kept moving on, as if nothing had happened.
I was so scary that my feeling was so peaceful. For me, death was not important although my depression was getting more and more. When my over 40-50 is, I will experience unemployment one day. He was over 50 years in debts. He has a wife, kids. = It was terrifying to me how peaceful my own reaction was. At that point in my life, death didn't seem like a big deal, even though my own depression was getting worse and worse. I kept thinking that when I am in my 40s or 50s, I will likely face unemployment too. He was over 50 and carrying a lot of debt, with a wife and kids to support.
My salary man life is not forever. In Korea, it is difficult to get new job for 40-50s. Incrediblely impossible. = A salaryman's career doesn't last forever. In Korea, it is incredibly difficult. and almost impossible, for people in their 40s and 50s to find a new job.
NOTE: I am so incredibly sorry you had to witness that. TT |
