20 Who teaches whom? (Yang-nai)

24 July 2019

Why did you go home so early yesterday? You should have remained here until 5 PM.
I went to see the doctor yesterday morning. I normally finish work around
3 PM anyway. Since you didn't do any work in the morning, you'd better stay here
a little longer.
You weren't this fussy in the past.
It's because you've already recovered. I want to treat you like a normal
person, so that I can teach you how employees should work and carry themselves.
That's not true. You aren't teaching me. You are more afraid of wasting money.
If that's what you think then I can't teach you anymore. What am I supposed to do then?
Look teacher, if you want to teach, you should ask me whether I’m ready to listen. Like right now,
why must you raise your voice? You don't respect me as a human being.
(thinking to myself) Because I'm furious!
I'm a human too, we are all equally human. Why don't you respect my value as a human being?
Huh! I must apologize to you then for raising my voice and not respecting your value.
How about this, from now on you can come to work and leave as you please.
You can do whatever you want and I'll still pay you the same because I want to learn from you how to respect others as human beings.

p.s. Yang-nai returned after he had resigned 6-7 months ago.
