34, and thanks to crypto I'm finally leaving my big-corp job. Please congratulate me.34살 코인덕에 드디어 대기업에서 퇴사합니다. 축하부탁드립니다.

I was pushed to resign for negligence — constant phone use during work hours and being away from my desk while working from home.업무중 지속 핸드폰사용, 재택근무 중 자리비움으로 인한 업무 태만으로 권고사직 당했습니다.

💡 Why does the second line land like a punchline?
The setup is Korea's classic humblebrag: crypto gains letting you walk out of a conglomerate job, the safest career prize there is. The reveal — he didn't walk, he was nudged out for watching coin prices instead of working.vs. the US: "I'm retiring early"... "they fired me for day-trading at my desk."Klore note
