"I told him it was hard to learn the job, and the manager said, 'Hey! XX You XX I don't have any supplies right now, and I'm not busy, so what are you struggling with?' I cried a lot because I thought why I had to be treated like this."

It has been four years since the "Workplace Harassment Prohibition Act" was enforced, but verbal abuse and profanity are still rampant in the workplace, the civic group Jik4 disclosed a case of reporting on the 119th.

According to Jik14, managers of a small business in North Chungcheong Province yelled at employees, calling them "ya" and mouths "agai," and used abusive language and personal attacks.

One manager said in a group chat room of employees, 'If you want to be abusive, come to me. I'll do whatever I want,' the informant said.

Jigsaw119 revealed that one manager at the company made comments that "fat women are not attractive" and that there was also sexual harassment, such as pinching women's arms and having male managers come and go in women-only locker rooms.

In March, 119,119 employees were surveyed by Job3 and the Ubuntu Foundation for Office Finance about the types of workplace harassment they had experienced over the course of a year, and 1.1 percent said they had been the victims of assault or verbal abuse.

The number of people experiencing assault or verbal abuse dropped from 14.4% in June 2021 to 6.14% in March last year, and then nearly doubled again in this survey.

With the trend of returning from telecommuting to face-to-face work after the COVID-2 pandemic, it is interpreted that assaults and verbal abuse are also increasing.

Of the 3 workplace harassment reports received by email from January to April this year, 7 were assaults and verbal abuses, accounting for 3.19%.

Jig-glove119 argued that "it is doubtful that a company with an abusive manager will comply with other labor laws" and that "the illegality should be corrected by special labor supervision."
