Comment by Fujoshi_Besch on The New Employee - Chapter 36

Summary for those confused, based on the official translation:

First off, while Section Chief Kim is running up the stairs, he mentions how he had opened a request for an employee recruitment on his team.

Now...That fuc*** Choi went to the same university as that old interviewer Lee from the model planning team. Choi must've talked to Lee to give our puppy a low score during the capability test (presentation). Kim's boss is stating that although our puppy did well, because of the C by Lee, it dropped his overall score so HR had to 'fail' him based on their procedures. 

Section Chief Kim gets upset because in the prior year, he had a dumba$$ intern, Sieun, who couldn't do shiet but was hired on as an employee, so he doesn't understand how Seunghyun was overlooked. Manager Lee explains that Sieun passed because she was the daughter of a director and her grandfather was some hotshot...so, after pushing out all the other candidates, she was left... nepotism ya'll.

Lee further explains that Choi publicly put a hold on Kim's 'new' recruitment request because Planning team needed someone with experience. Remember, Kim brings in like 50% of the business' revenue, so Choi used this is a reason to bring on someone with experience instead of hiring Seunghyun. Also, if Seunghyun was hired, he would've been placed on a different team since Kim had mentioned in the beginning that he needed someone with experience AND their department was only bringing on 2 employees.

In the end, Seunghyun didn't get hired because he isn't the son of a director and he had no experience.  So, Section Chief Kim is bkaming himself. ?
