This is because employees in South Korea can "only" work a maximum of 52 hours per week, including twelve hours of overtime. As a result, employees often have to leave work and go home even when important tasks have not yet been completed. For this reason, key employees of the Exynos team are reported to have worked unpaid overtime more and more frequently over the past few years, with the extra hours going unrecorded.

We kept whipping and whipping but the work never seemed to get done. The only excuse they have is that half the team died from exhaustion or suicide, and they aren't getting severance!
