Kim Jeong-cheol wakes up every morning at 6 am to deliver packages to Seoul’s wealthier residents, and spends every night ferrying those same people home after a night out, ending his working day well past midnight. He also works at a cosmetics distribution company he runs from his home with his wife. 金正哲每天早上6点起床给首尔市内更富有的居民送包裹,每天夜里还要开车送晚上外出的这些人回家,等到收工时已经过了午夜了。他还和妻子在家合开了一家化妆品分销公司。 Kim is one of many in South Korea’s capital to have taken on extra jobs as part of the unintended consequence of a law aimed at capping working hours and giving people more free time. 金正哲不过是首尔干副业的众多市民之一。此前韩国的新法案缩短了法定工作时间,本意是让人们拥有更多自由时间,却出现了这种意想不到的结果。 |
