However, 60% also reported their bosses still use familiar speech with their subordinates. (Source). JobPlanet, a Korean online platform that provides jobseekers with crowdsourced information about potential employers, recommended the following topics for small talk at work (Source):
– GOOD : Weather, commute, dramas, movies, YouTube, hobbies, food, travel, trends, etc.
