On the Verge of Insanity (No One But a Madman / Michiji Angoseoya / 미치지 않고서야)

Can you work in Human Resources with your temper?

Well, I'll probably learn...

the insurance coverage and attendance management easily.

As for the rest,

I'll do my best while I'm here.

There has been a change.

Baekho Electronics wants all of our key staff members.

Prevent them from quitting until the sellout goes public.

How am I going to stop that by myself?

The news will get around very quickly.

Why?

Do you not want to take me back?

I don't care how you think of me.

I'm going to stick around.

I will.

I'm sure you'll find developers who were born and raised in Changin.

Find someone who's friends with everyone,

and someone who can get their opinion across.

All right.

Let's make this work, Senior Manager Choi Ban Seok of HR.

We don't need to shake hands over this.

Yes, ma'am.

We're back.

Hi.

Mr. Choi will join our team starting today.

Hello.

Hello. I hope we get along.

What should I do now?

What do I need to do?

What? Do what?

One difficulty a day, one report a day.

Hear out the difficulties our staff experience every day,

then turn it into a report.

I thought I'd learn about the insurance coverage...

and attendance management.

The former can be done by any HR worker.

Also, I'd appreciate it you could be more enthusiastic...

about your work.

Then you could be more proactive...

and hear the staff out instead of telling me to do it.

- Mr. Choi. - Yes?

This is a very basic task.

What kind of attitude do our workers have?

How is the relationship with their superiors?

Do they have any complaints?

Do they want to get promoted?

Or do they want to change jobs?

Knowing the answers to all of these questions...

is a basic task for HR.

And yet, you refuse to do this?

You? A senior manager?

What's that attitude?

Do you not want to do it?

Or did you want to slack off for a bit then switch departments,

- but your plan fell through? - It's not like that.

I'm glad if that's not the case.

I want you to be their big brother...

and work hard.

- Be what? - Their big brother.

It suits you.

A big brother who's friendly with everyone...

and with whom they want to grab some drinks with after work.

Even my brother doesn't do that.

I emailed you the list of workers you'll speak with.

Print it and take a look.

Darn it.

Ms. Dang.

I can't speak with him.

Omit or replace him with someone else.

I have my reasons for doing this.

I know...

I know you do, but this is Mr. Han Se Gwon.

Don't you know about us?

- Yes, very well. - Then?

You should befriend those...

you dislike and feel uncomfortable with the most.

That's the fate of HR.

What about your fate? Tell me.

Aren't you the one...

who dislikes and feels uncomfortable with him the most?

You screamed at him back on the rooftop.

Submit the report by 7 p.m.

Isn't this abuse against your fellow employee?

What did you say?

It is. She's abusing me.

Mr. Choi Ban Seok, you've signed up...

to our software architecture license class.

The class will begin at 7:30 p.m sharp, so don't be late.

No objections?

- Then that'll be all. - Yes, sir.

Sir.

I understand that the company is going through a rough patch.

I also understand that products with low sales...

will be discontinued.

But about forgoing...

either the wireless vacuum cleaner or the robot vacuum cleaner...

Does that make any sense?

Last year, the wireless vacuum cleaner was the third most popular product.

You know that.

This just doesn't add up.

So what if it came third place?

You've pushed back your development plan three times already.

Well...

The company deducted 30 percent from our budget. Okay?

Okay?

If we wait any longer,

the entire company will fall through.

That's just...

Sir, I'd appreciate it...

if you could exclude robot vacuum cleaners.

We've already invested so much money into developing this AI home appliance.

Let's be honest. It's our key product.

If we discontinue it, which team will save...

the Household Appliances Division next year?

If yours is the key product,

are you saying that ours is pretty much garbage?

Sir.

Hardware appliances are no longer in trend.

Then how high-tech is your product...

that you postpone the deadline every time?

What about yours?

Why do you keep delaying the development...

when the model has always been the same?

Did you see it?

How would you know if it's the same model or not?

It's pretty obvious.

- That's enough! - You didn't even see it!

I said, that's enough!

Look at you guys!

There's no point in arguing over this.

This is what the higher-ups want.

If you're unhappy, pack up and leave.

If you don't want to lag behind,

make the next demonstration. That'll be all.

Darn it.

Hello.

Have you contacted the Motor Team?

By when will they have the components ready?

They told us to come back next week.

Their test samples are much overdue.

So? Did you return just like that?

Were you being understanding since we have so much free time?

I'll look into it right away.

Mr. Han.

I had something to ask you.

It won't take long.

That's none of my business.

- Please leave. - Ms. Dang told me to do this.

Should I just tell her that you refused?

What are some difficulties you have?

Please tell me any difficulties...

you're facing in your team. I'll jot them down.

What's this for?

Are you trying to befriend me?

Not at all.

Just tell me any work-related difficulties.

I see. I know what this is.

This is Ja Young's signature program.

One difficulty a day, one report a day.

She assigns this task to all the newbies.

All right, then. I get what this is.

I'll make it quick since I can't stand seeing you.

Let's do that. Now, talk.

I have three difficulties.

- Number one. - Number one.

The fact that you're here.

The fact that I'm here.

Number two. The fact that you're breathing.

Number three. Everything...

about you.

You are the difficulty I'm facing. That'll be all.

Report on the discussion.

Mr. Han Se Gwon's difficulty...

is the existence of Mr. Choi Ban Seok.

It is assumed that this is due to the former's inferiority complex...

about the latter being far more competent and outstanding than the former...

in various ways.

The end.

This isn't a report.

You just scribbled this.

How could you say that?

That report took four hours.

Mr. Han was very uncooperative,

and I've only worked on Excel before.

I've never written a report before.

Even still, this report lacks the basics.

What do you mean, the basics?

The basics.

If he was that uncooperative,

you could've negotiated with him.

Or you should interview his colleagues to cross-check your findings.

You must have approached the subject from various angles to gain insight.

You only scribbled a few lines on this report.

Do you think this is acceptable?

I will delay interviewing Mr. Han Se Gwon for a while.

Start with Mr. Han Se Gwon again.

The shredder is in the pantry.

Gosh. The class starts now.

Gosh. What's her angle?

- Hello. - Gosh. No need to get up for me.
