The true nature of envy 09:00 The compartment I can't touch, and a handful I sell with my own hands 13:30 Worn-out hiking boots in the shoe rack, and Andy's 19 years This morning, too, I commuted while squeezed in among the crowd. A handrail in one hand, a cell phone in the other. I was flipping through articles without much thought when my finger stopped abruptly at a certain line. "Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix performance bonuses are equivalent to 30 years' salary at a small or medium-sized enterprise." At first, I was going to skip it, assuming it was just another story about performance bonuses, but I stopped at the numbers in the body text. The article stated that an employee earning around 100 million won a year received an additional 150 million won solely in performance bonuses. The bonus exceeded the annual salary. On top of that, the article explicitly quoted the forecast that the average performance bonus per SK Hynix employee this year would reach between 1 billion and 1.2 billion won. In contrast, the starting salary for a college graduate at a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), where the majority of working people in Korea are employed, is 33.28 million won. A bonus received once a year by one person is money that another person would have to save for 30 years to even touch. In the swaying subway, just one sentence came to mind: "I've worked for 15 years. Is that worth less than someone else's annual bonus?" The envy was bearable, but it was hard to endure doubting the time I had lived. This is the story of a day spent in stunned silence by a single news article by someone who came up from Busan and endured 15 years in Seoul. That night, while walking along the Han River, I saw someone running alone. When I got home, I opened the shoe cabinet. There, I found a pair of worn-out hiking boots that were eight years old. I may not have a flashy record, but worn soles don't lie. I talked about the handful of things I can sell with my own hands today, rather than the untouchable ones.
