I will resign and go to Australia

chapter 37



37 episodes. These psychopaths are everywhere.

“Tell me what your request is. Then I will listen to you or not.”

At my words, Jessica opened her mouth with difficulty.

Although somewhat clumsy, she began to express her opinion in English.

“I was wondering if I could be introduced to a lawyer from Inham’s legal team.”

“Why a lawyer?”

“I have a question for you about my friend.”

Jessica’s friend is said to be Korean.

She told me that she was studying at the university on a student visa, not a workaholic working at Inham.

The two met at a Korean restaurant.

Jessica said she had worked there before coming to Inham and had met the friend.

Although I have quit that job now, it has developed into a relationship that I still keep in touch with my friend, who is an international student, through text messages.

For Jessica, that alone helped her improve her English a lot.

So this time, he asked me to introduce a lawyer because he wanted to help the friend.

The problem is the non-payment of wages.

The restaurant owner said that he had not paid his wages for a month and had not paid for two months already.

In Australia, where the basic wage is a weekly wage, two months is like an asshole.

“Didn’t you take any money from him?”

“Yes. I don’t.”

Wage arrears are also common among workaholics.

However, through a relief procedure called a fire work ombudsman, even a workaholic can get his wages back.

Australia places great importance on workers’ rights.

For that reason, there was a saying that the union called Union has an unimaginably powerful power, and that power comes from the Labor Party connected with the union.

If we compare it to Korea, wouldn’t it be fair to say that the metallurgical union is completely in control of one powerful political party?

Anyway, that’s why it’s possible to close your business if you don’t pay your wages or ate too much.

“Can I report it?”

“That’s because they don’t pay TFN (tax file number) and only people who work as cash jobs get paid.”

Like Inham, they don’t give you a payslip (pay stub), but give it in cash.

In other words, it was difficult to prove that you worked there.

In order to file a report, you must have proof documents such as a pay stub or employment contract.

However, most of the cases where Cash Job ignored all of this.

“Didn’t you write something like a daily work diary?”

“yes.”

“Anything like a schedule?”

“I do all of that verbally, huh?”

Seeing this, Korean kids are really nice.

Even if you make a verbal promise, you keep it like a knife.

People from other countries do not hesitate to leave work without notice, unless such a part is specified in documents.

It’s not like that, but it’s a higher proportion than Korean kids.

“That Korean restaurant. Do you only hire Koreans?”

“……yes.”

When I’m in Australia, I often hear about it.

Koreans should be the most careful.

It is easy to cheat because we know our physiology well.

It’s the same anywhere, but it’s good to pamper good and good-natured children.

‘That’s probably why my mom sang that song so I don’t live foolishly.’

You can’t do that easily if you’re straight.

I think I can do it because it’s easy, and if I try it, it works, and if there is no special problem after accumulating that experience a few times, I’ll keep doing it.

“You didn’t even meet the minimum wage? How much did you get paid?”

“Twelve dollars an hour.”

Uh-huh, that’s why you buy and sell them with money to catch them.

That’s less than half of Inham’s hourly wage.

Still, I have to do something like this, so I do it because my throat is grape juice.

Although the hourly wage is small, there are advantages of long working hours for Korean workers.

“By the way, wouldn’t it be possible to report it if you or the other workers were witnesses?”

“Yes, but the problem is that she has a student visa. That’s why I want to consult with a lawyer.”

“Why a student visa? Can’t I work if I have a student visa?”

“You can do it, but you can’t work more than 20 hours a week.”

“There are rules like that…”

As a Korean job, I must have easily passed 20 hours a week.

Perhaps the restaurant owner was aware of the weakness of the student visa, and it was clear that he did not pay wages for it.

“For that reason, international students prefer cash jobs. Most of them cover their living expenses without any problems. But if you are unlucky like this time, this happens.”

The purpose of a student visa is twofold.

One is, of course, to get a degree in Australia and, if possible, to obtain permanent residency and live here.

Another is to extend the working holiday visa after the expiry of the working holiday visa period.

There was a policy called a secondary visa, but it was only possible to extend it by one year, so to stay longer, he entered a college, a junior college, and used the shortcut of a student visa.

It’s easier than a work visa.

So, they only worked in ways that did not fit the student visa, which was for the purpose of learning, and it turned out to be a restriction of 20 hours a week.

The problem was that the students in the first category were also treated the same.

Studying abroad costs a lot of money, just like anywhere else.

In Australia, in particular, the difference between the tuition fees paid by Koreans and foreigners is huge.

His arms are bent inward, but his mouth is wide open.

So, international students were running cash jobs to earn their own pocket money.

But there are unscrupulous people who eat it.

“It’s not unlucky. That’s what the owner of the restaurant was looking for. If only students with student visas get it, he gets suspicious, so the kids who are workaholics like you also got it.”

Oh, that’s annoying.

I don’t know why there are so many hyena-like people who bite others’ weaknesses.

Knowing that living abroad is hard…

what? Are you saying that the international student came to study abroad because he was rich?

There are people like that, but there will be more people who have saved a penny or two from Korea to find their dreams.

There are more poor people in the world than good people.

Just because I can’t live doesn’t mean I can’t come to study abroad.

“Then will you introduce me to a lawyer?”

“Before that, tell me where the Korean restaurant is.”

“I wonder if your brother wants to go? What are you going to do?”

“I’m just going to take a peek at what kind of place it is.”

It has nothing to do with me, no money, but I wanted to give a little help.

It was because I also had the experience of getting rid of a part-timer when I was a student.

At that time, the president gave only 500,000 won out of 600,000 won, and there was no way to prove the difference of 100,000 won, so I gave up.

I foolishly said, ‘I don’t accept it because it’s dirty!

But how difficult would it be to have Jessica’s friends all gone? I can’t take it because it’s dirty.

“Really? Are you really only coming to see me?”

“Then why am I going to fight the boss by the neck? So tell me. Where are you?”

“Um… I’ll text you the name and address of the store.”

Jessica took out her phone and pressed it with her thumb, glancing at me.

It’s like you’re not going to do anything there, are you? Are you just going to come and see?

what kind of eyes

He seemed to be worried that his friend might be harmed.

– Tiling.

Looking at the phone, it was a familiar place.

“Runcon? Are you in Koreatown?”

Brisbane Runcorn.

Koreans call it Korea Town for convenience, but there are a lot of Chinese and mostly Asians.

It’s like you sucked the blood of international students by running a business in such a place.

“Because most of the customers are Korean.”

“How do you do that while making money with Koreans, huh!”

Anyway, these psychopaths are everywhere.

“Hey, what kind of Korean food is it all of a sudden?”

Yoohyeon grumbled and complained to me.

I brought him here without telling him about Jessica.

It was because it was obvious that this simple guy would not be able to control his facial expressions.

“Koreans should eat kimchi stew sometimes.”

“You can eat hammock, buy something and eat. Korean food is expensive.”

“Are you paying? I’m going to pay, so just eat it, ma’am.”

“Oh, it’s not Dutch Pay. So, can’t you eat pork belly instead of kimchi stew?”

“Eat whatever you want.”

“really?”

“Yeah.”

I smiled broadly and nodded my head.

If a restaurant owner appears and you have to work hard, you will have to stop everything, but you have to eat a lot and work hard.

“Welcome, it’s Food Day.”

As I entered the store, a cute girl with an apron approached me.

Judging by the short hair and wearing glasses, it seemed that Lee Soo-young, Jessica’s friend, was right.

Yes, I am still working even after being paid two months in arrears.

I came to ask the boss for wages, but there was no party involved and the store was busy, so I rolled up my hands again to help.

I couldn’t stand still and watch the people I worked with go crazy.

Hogu… No, he’s nice. so so nice

“Would you like to order?”

“Samgyeopsal for 5 people and a bottle of soju, please.”

I inquired at Yoohyeon’s order.

“Hey, who’s driving?”

“You and I can drink half a bottle each. After run-con, let’s go to karaoke and hang out for a bit, to break the drink.”

“You’re kidding. Driving under the influence in Australia gets you fucked, bastard. And you think I’m going to leave my horse to a drunk guy?”

tooth profit.

The food we ordered came out and we started grilling the pork belly.

The grill was on a gas burner, not charcoal, but the quality of the meat looked good.

It’s been a long time since it’s been raw pork belly, so my nose was drooping and my saliva was swallowed.

Is samgyeopsal also Korean?

Now I crave pork belly more than beef.

“Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.”

“Yesul, boss. Leave it to me.”

I looked around while Yoohyeon was happily grilling the meat.

This Korean restaurant called Food Day was about 50 pyeong, and 15 pyeong was divided into a kitchen and a warehouse.

In my eyes, everything is clearly visible.

‘Isn’t this the only way to grow up by sucking children’s blood?’

It’s not a small shop, but it’s not a big shop either.

Compared to the things I do, I only sigh more because I have only achieved these things.

‘The store itself seems to be fine.’

I checked every corner to see if there was anything illegal, but it was clean.

Then, a box appeared in what seemed to be a small private room next to the warehouse.

It was, to be exact, a home safe.

“I’ll go to the bathroom.”

It was confirmed through clairvoyance that it was a safe, but it was not visible what the contents were in terms of location and angle.

The good news is that there and the toilet are right next to each other.

I used clairvoyance again in the bathroom.

‘Let’s see. It’s a pile of papers… Is this a ledger? I wrote it down smartly.’

While adjusting the depth of perspective, I looked at the contents of the logbook one by one and began to scan the rest of the documents.

tirili. tiri.

“hello?”

“Hey, are you pooping? Why aren’t you coming?”

Are you talking about poop in front of the table?

“It’s going to take some time because I’m constipated.”

“Then eat first?”

“Okay, so stop.”

I hung up the phone and continued to concentrate and read the documents.

It seems that this boss is a more meticulous person than I thought.

When running a restaurant, it is usually done in a fist-fighting manner, but it was recorded in detail from the amount of various items that came in wholesale, to sales, inventory, and labor costs.

Then suddenly there was a commotion outside.

“If you keep doing this, I’ll report you as obstruction of business, so do whatever you want!!”

What does all this mean?

I walked towards the place where the shouting was coming from.
