Episode 116: A mad dog is a mad dog

It’s noisy.

Life is always noisy.

When people collided, a sound was made.

Sometimes it becomes music.

And sometimes it becomes noise.

“Wow, wow, wow, wow, king.”

“Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh”

A building filled with laughter.

A building that had been dead for a long time was brought to life.

All of the planned users have moved in.

Now it smells like people are living there.

So naturally.

“Oh my. I’m not even a life coach, and I have to do this?”

There are also some people who are unusually noisy.

Mr. Jang. I think it was 10 years. I think it was 15 years.

He is the social worker with the most experience.

So, he is interfering in everything by pretending to know everything here and there.

The person who has been giving me the biggest headache lately.

Is the young center director trying to stand on top of the head because he is too easygoing?

or not.

“I told you, that’s not how it works. How many times do I have to tell you that?”

I’m not sure if he’s just a naturally complaining person.

Whenever something happened, he would always point out others and assert his own opinions.

Because of that, he wasn’t well-received among other employees.

‘I guess I’ll have to do something.’

Although there have been no complaints about the center director yet.

however.

‘It will happen soon.’

Ultimately, it’s a problem that arises because the manager can’t manage it.

The complaints against Mr. Jang will spread to the center director.

At that point, it will get out of control.

I was sitting in my office chair, lost in my thoughts.

at that time.

bang.

“hello.”

“Sir! We’re here.”

The door opened and Sohyun and Da-eun came in together.

Da-eun smiles brightly. Her expression has been getting brighter recently.

‘Probably because of my father.’

Da-eun’s father was admitted to Neverland. He was not a resident, but was attending a day care center.

“Thank you, Uncle. Dad loves it too. And tell Mom that I thank you too.”

“No, I’m glad you like it.”

I nodded with a smile. Unlike when I first saw her, she was gradually starting to smile.

Da-eun’s bright smile infected me and I found myself laughing along with her.

The real reason why Sohyun asked to build a studio here.

‘It must be because of Da-eun’s father.’

If there was a studio in the facility, it would have been convenient for Da-eun to come see her father.

‘That way, I won’t be bored.’

I knew that too, so I gave him the room without saying anything.

The kids who came to take pictures. They are busy moving around and setting up the computer.

I guess I have to leave the room now. I thought to myself as I got up from my seat.

“Sir! Wait a minute. Don’t go. I have something to say!”

Suddenly, Sohyun called me.

“why?”

“Please set up a soundproof booth here. It’s too noisy. I can hear everything outside.”

“yes?”

“I didn’t know it would be this noisy.”

There are few facilities for the developmentally disabled that are quiet.

It’s such an obvious fact to me.

“You didn’t think of that?”

I could not help but look at Sohyun with a dumbfounded expression.

“I didn’t know.”

Sohyun scratched her head. Da-eun, who was next to her, saw her and laughed again.

“Anyway, you understand. Hurry up. Install it quickly.”

Sohyun keeps complaining.

Because I don’t want to just answer that I understand.

“··· I just think it has a sense of realism. These days, that kind of thing sells better on YouTube.”

He closed the door and went out, making a fuss.

Mister. Mister. Sohyun’s voice rings out from behind.

‘It’s bustling and nice.’

Well, it wasn’t a bad start for a facility built by beginners.

Except for one problem.

**

“What kind of external program are you planning? There are no people. What kind of external schedule is this in a facility with infants, children, adults, and even a day care center? I can’t do this. If you don’t know, just stay still.”

Mr. Jang shouted loudly in the living room where all the users of the facility were present.

“Please, Mr. Jang. Stop it! It’s Mr. Jang’s job to do that!”

Eventually, another social worker, unable to bear it any longer, joins in and gets angry.

A simmering conflict has erupted.

“No, that’s because you’re talking nonsense.”

When a loud noise was heard, the center director hurriedly came out of the office.

Then he looks at the employees in turn, whose faces are blushing.

The center director’s eyes wavered. It seemed like he didn’t know what to do.

“Please don’t do this. Let’s go inside and talk. There are a lot of eyes watching.”

I had no choice but to get between the two of them.

While slowly coaxing her, I walked towards the office.

Fortunately, there were two people who followed me obediently.

As soon as I entered the director’s office.

“Center Director! I said I can’t do it. How do you make an outside schedule? Who are you going to focus on? Children or adults? And day care centers don’t have outside activities. That’s the basics.”

Made a louder noise.

Other social workers frown and look at the sight.

The other employees are basically good people. They have tolerated Mr. Jang’s behavior well so far.

However, now they all showed their dissatisfaction on their faces, as if they just couldn’t do it anymore.

Mr. Jang also feels the gaze of others.

“Everyone is talking about me right now, but don’t you think this facility is the problem? It’s a day care center and a residential facility. And there’s no age distinction. Where in the world is there a facility for the disabled that puts everyone in without distinction like this? There’s no such thing as professionalism.”

I raised my voice louder.

Everyone was frowning and looking at him, so he shouted as if he felt even more wronged.

The employee who had been angry earlier was now just listening to Mr. Jang’s complaints. It seemed like he thought he shouldn’t act rashly in front of the center director.

The center director, who was actually supposed to solve the problem, was so flustered that he couldn’t say anything.

‘Well. Of course I knew this would happen.’

I can understand the center director’s feelings. Since he is young and has no social experience, it is natural for him to panic in such an unexpected situation.

I was the same way when I was that age.

Rather, what I don’t understand is Professor Jang’s side.

How on earth has that person been doing at work all this time?

If you had been working for the company for that long, it wouldn’t have gone downhill to this extent.

At least some minimal socialization is bound to occur.

If the person above is young and inexperienced, they usually choose to bake or boil it.

Don’t press me so rudely.

After all, he is the one who has the power to appoint people.

I kept thinking to myself, why is Mr. Jang like that?

Without me knowing.

“But. If you don’t like the facilities that much? Then why don’t you just quit?”

The truth came out of my mouth.

It wasn’t my intention to be sarcastic, I just asked the question out of genuine curiosity.

“Excuse me! Developer teacher? If you don’t like something while working, do you quit right away? That’s the problem with young people these days.”

“I don’t think it’s just a little bit. If I didn’t like it that much, then it wouldn’t be the company.”

He paused for a moment and tilted his head. I felt that Mr. Jang’s dissatisfaction was not just enough to warrant quitting the company.

“I feel like I’m going to give up on life.”

He looked like someone who didn’t want to live in this world.

As soon as I finished speaking, silence fell.

Even the talkative Mr. Jang kept his mouth shut.

People looked at me with their eyes wide open.

Ah… I made a mistake.

Even after speaking, I was unaware of it.

“teacher?”

It was only when I saw the look in people’s eyes that I realized, “Oh no.”

A fleeting moment. It feels like time has stopped.

I gather my thoughts in my head again. Mr. Jang also seemed taken aback by my words, and just stood there with his mouth open.

‘There is a saying.’

They say you should fight a mad dog with another mad dog.

In business, it was common practice to treat a mad dog as another mad dog.

Even if a scholar comes and carries a backpack and clumsily tells people not to bite, there’s no way his words will get through.

I looked around.

The center director and several social workers.

The job of a social worker is not something that can be easily done without a certain level of sacrifice.

It means that he is not suitable for the role of a mad dog.

then.

‘It’s me. There’s no one else but me.’

Unfortunately, I was the best person for the job here.

That’s when I made my decision.

“Ji. What did you just say? What did you say about life?”

Late, Mr. Jang stammered and questioned me.

So I.

“If it were me, I would say so. If it were me. I’m not a social worker. I guess I’m different from people who have a strong sense of service. I asked because I don’t know anything. Don’t worry about it.”

He smiled and showed his teeth.

Mr. Jang looked at me with a puzzled expression at my bitter smile.

I’ve never played a mad dog before.

I’m not even sure if I’m doing well right now.

**

After a noisy day.

I came back home.

I thought I needed some time to gather my thoughts, so I closed my sister’s room door tightly.

1 center director, 3 social workers, 1 cook, 8 life guidance counselors.

It’s a business with more than 5 employees. If they want to fire someone, they may be able to do so by force.

‘The problem comes after that.’

It would be nice if he signed the letter of resignation, but the atmosphere didn’t seem like that would happen.

I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. And the center director’s opinion was important, too. I needed to be more careful.

Well, that’s a different matter than getting fired.

Actually, I was a little curious.

How on earth can someone like that exist?

I think there are very few people in the world who are just crazy.

No. To be exact, within the category of people who are engaging in normal social activities.

“No matter how much experience you have, it’s like that. It’s just nonsense.”

Well, I guess people in jobs where they can really be abusive might do that.

Because it’s been done to my body. But I’m not a social worker.

Even the most choleric social worker cannot help but have a basic service mindset.

Unfortunately, the current social welfare facilities are in that kind of environment.

He was a former head of the development team at a bank. Anyone could tell that he was a problematic person.

But the manager clearly had a reason for being there.

Developers who avoid banks. Naturally, only incompetent subcontractors came in, so it was not a place that a person with a normal and logical way of thinking could endure.

The manager was a mad dog who was exclusively used to deal with unruly subcontractors. He was there because he had a use for them.

Has Mr. Jang also been working under such rare conditions?

‘Or did you work in a family-run establishment?’

There are corporate heads who operate multiple welfare facilities as a corporate unit.

In that case, there was no need to worry about what his superiors thought, so it wasn’t completely understandable that he was a little bit socially awkward.

“But then there’s no reason to work here.”

Even if the facility fails, the corporation won’t fail. And to that extent, the family must be well off…

In that stopped time, I thought deeply about the cause.

I thought and thought again, ignoring the time.

There is absolutely no such thing as just a weird person.

Because people change depending on their environment.

no.

wait for a sec.

“Have you gotten divorced by any chance?”

I married the son of the CEO and worked comfortably at the facility without worrying about what other people thought, but then I got divorced and had no choice…

“···”

A beggar who plays the role of a mad dog.

You really shouldn’t go crazy.

I keep imagining strange things.

The more I think about it, the more I don’t understand.

I should go to the facility tomorrow and take a look at Mr. Jang’s resume.

If you knew where and how the work was done.

If you trace that person’s past.

Maybe you can understand the current situation as well.
