Episode 117 How to Find Bugs

By tracking the logs, I was able to figure out where the problem was occurring.

And the same goes for people.

It was a cumbersome method.

so.

It may seem frustrating to others.

This is the method that suits me best.

Because I didn’t have the ability to find the right answer.

By going through all the logs, inserting and removing data, and repeating this several times, I was able to gradually reduce the error.

Getting closer to the correct answer by making mistakes over and over again.

That’s the only solution I know how to do.

**

My office. No, the center director came into the kids’ studio.

I close the office door, holding Mr. Jang’s resume in one hand.

So, sitting next to the center director, I traced Mr. Jang’s resume.

While searching through all the institutions where Mr. Jang worked, one thing in common stood out.

The center director tilted his head while looking at the monitor.

“The facilities are all closed?”

“Considering that there are no articles, it doesn’t seem to be a major issue such as human rights violations or corruption.”

“It could be a simple management issue.”

Even if you enter the facility name in the search bar, no newspaper articles appear.

It doesn’t seem like a facility that has had any major social issues.

The facility was operating normally until a few years ago when it suddenly closed.

All three residential facilities for the disabled where Mr. Jang worked were owned by the same corporation.

And all of those facilities closed around the same time.

It was too coincidental to be a simple coincidence.

‘But it seems like the corporation is still alive.’

I continued to search through internet articles, wondering if there might be other facilities within the corporation that might provide some clues.

As I was typing on the keyboard, I was searching for other welfare facilities under the corporate name.

At that moment.

suddenly.

“I’m sorry. Because of me···”

The center director bows his head deeply.

A voice that is full of dead grass.

The enthusiastic look I had when I first saw him is nowhere to be found.

“What do you have to be sorry about?”

“I really wanted to do well. I did. But I just got into trouble. And I don’t know what to do either…”

“No. This is just a natural disaster. A natural disaster.”

People like Mr. Jang are rare. It was natural that the center director, who had little social experience, would have a hard time.

I repeated that it was okay several times until the center director’s expression improved.

While trying to appease the center director who was so exhausted.

My eyes kept following the monitor screen.

‘All facilities are closed.’

Literally, only the corporation is alive.

It is a welfare corporation that mainly operates residential facilities for the disabled.

All the facilities that were operating were closed.

Financial problems. Illegal operations. Human rights abuses.

And again.

“What else could there be? What if the facility is closed?”

So I asked the question as if I was talking to myself.

The center director seemed to have remembered something.

“Ah. Right. If it was the year before last, it could have been a government policy issue.”

He raised his head and clapped his hands lightly.

“Policy?”

“It’s the deinstitutionalization policy. There was a lot of talk about the deinstitutionalization support law around that time.”

“Ah! Is this the time?”

I nodded to the center director’s words.

It wasn’t a particularly new policy.

It was one of those policies that was repeated every time, just like the seasons.

Deinstitutionalization of the disabled.

This is a claim mainly made by civic groups.

Abuse, sexual harassment, corruption, etc. There are many problems with residential facilities for the developmentally disabled, so the opinion is that the facilities cannot be trusted.

So, a policy was created to close the facilities and help people with developmental disabilities become independent so they can return to society.

The government reduced the subsidies provided to residential facilities for the developmentally disabled and instead provided support to the developmentally disabled to enable them to become self-reliant.

This is actually a problem without a right answer. As a result, when the number of residential facilities decreases, the guardians once again oppose the closure of the facilities.

Because with only a small amount of support, the family cannot afford it.

Then again, the support funds for residential facilities for the developmentally disabled increased.

This is a policy that originally cycled every few years.

Of all things.

“The year after the pandemic broke out, the deinstitutionalization policy was implemented, and many residential facilities for the developmentally disabled were closed down.”

The timing was wrong. The timing was bad.

When the number of people using residential facilities decreases due to the pandemic and the facilities are struggling financially.

It just so happens that the government is reducing its support for residential facilities for the disabled.

At that time, quite a few residential facilities for the developmentally disabled were closed.

“Then it would be difficult to see it as a complete coincidence.”

“Yes. Well. But the strange thing is that they closed at the same time… It’s not like it wouldn’t happen.”

I nodded to the center director’s words.

Because it is a business run with government subsidies, it cannot help but be swayed by policies.

So, with the idea of ​​stopping now, we could have completely closed down the welfare business.

Tracking down Mr. Jang’s past has become more complicated than expected. Since there is no way to contact the closed facility, it has become more difficult to understand why Mr. Jang behaves the way he does.

This is a problem that can be overlooked by just thinking that Mr. Jang is a strange person.

Is this an occupational disease?

If a bug occurs, even if it cannot be fixed.

At least I could see with my own eyes where the problem was.

That way, my mind would be at ease.

**

Mr. Jang.

What on earth could be the problem?

As I continued to ponder whether there was any other way to find the cause, the office door slammed shut.

And then.

“mister!”

Sohyun’s voice crossed the threshold first.

“Sir! This is our studio. Get out. Quickly.”

Sohyun with her mouth sticking out.

Growing up under a blunt father, he is a child who is awkward at expressing his emotions.

But it’s not true, it’s just a clumsy way of expressing it.

It’s still like that now.

That’s all he says.

It wasn’t really telling me to leave. It was just…

“I really need you to leave. Hurry up. I’m telling you, we’re late for the live.”

They’re just telling me to get out.

Sohyun kicking at me.

Because Sohyun kicked the air.

In the end, I came out as if I was being kicked out.

“Don’t even dream of a soundproof booth.”

As I muttered so timidly, I went out into the living room.

“What good is a few years of experience? You can’t even provide basic user care.”

“That’s right. But that doesn’t mean I’m good at administrative work.”

Social workers passed by, gossiping about Mr. Jang.

The mood is getting worse and worse.

This had to be dealt with quickly before it got any worse.

‘What on earth has Mr. Jang been doing for the past 10 years?’

There were more than one or two other strange things.

Well, just because you’ve been doing something for a long time doesn’t mean you’re good at it. But Mr. Jang, well… he didn’t seem to have any experience.

Even incompetent directors of small and medium-sized companies were so good at flattering that it was admirable.

Mr. Jang’s strangely immature aspects kept standing out.

“Where on earth did you work and what kind of work did you do that you don’t know how to do a single thing and haven’t learned how to deal with people?”

I didn’t quite understand.

But we had to address the facility issues.

On the other hand.

I was just purely curious.

**

Let’s put aside complicated concerns for a moment.

I came to Seoul for a trip after a long time.

I arrived at the cafe to meet the band members.

Because the weather is getting warmer.

Seongtae started singing the chorus again.

“Why do you look like that today? Are you holding back because you don’t want to perform?”

“No. I just have a bit of a headache.”

“What is it?”

Seongtae looks at me with his eyes wide open.

I explained to Seongtae about Mr. Jang. For someone who has been in society for a long time, he has a lot of strange aspects.

I gave a brief summary, but as expected, Seongtae didn’t think much of it.

“Hey, there are a lot of crazy people in the world. You’ve always had a lot of useless thoughts.”

“That’s because you’re crazy. The world is very different when you look at it from the perspective of a normal person.”

“Shit. Well. Anyway. But why doesn’t that person quit? Are the conditions there good?”

“Not at all. The pay grade is already set anyway. In the end, it’s a difference in work… Honestly, the workload is also high.”

Actually, I was curious about that too. Residential facilities for the developmentally disabled are places that are avoided even by social workers.

You have quite a bit of experience, so you probably have a lot of places to go. But we didn’t raise your rank either. I have no idea why you came to Neverland.

“But there must be some merit to that facility. So it will remain, right?”

“If there’s an advantage… the transportation?”

“Huh? You said it was near your house? It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the subway station there.”

“Most of the residential facilities for the disabled are located in remote areas. They are relatively close to the city.”

It’s just a small advantage. It’s not Seoul. It’s not a facility right next to a subway station either.

So, I confided my worries to Seongtae.

Before I knew it.

Children began to gather one by one at the cafe.

“You’re here. Hurry up and go.”

“You came quickly. But what are you talking about so seriously?”

In response to the government’s question, Seongtae poured out his worries to the children.

He told the story more plausibly than I did, with exaggerated gestures.

I was just listening to the story quietly.

“I don’t think the country will stop either?”

Guk-yeong nodded alone.

“why?”

“The welfare is good.”

I tilted my head. I looked at Gukyoung because I wondered what was going on.

He looks around at us as if he is saying something obvious.

“Because the boss is easygoing? And on top of that, he’s also immature. Then it’s easy to do the work roughly. Honestly, where else can you find benefits like that in a company?”

Our team leader, you know. He interferes with everything. And I can’t just ignore him because he only says the right things. Guk-young frowned and complained.

The state-run complaints continued for a long time. As I listened, the smell of cigarette smoke began to waft through the air.

Did Seongtae listen to it and then decide that he couldn’t do it anymore?

“Okay. Okay. Now that we’re here, everyone, pay attention.”

He interrupted Guk-young’s speech by applauding.

“Why is there still more? This is a time when you should be cursing the manager. When will you do that?”

“You can go home and complain. Now listen to me. Our next concert is in Busan, right?”

“Oh. You booked the show.”

“That’s why I’m telling you, clear your schedule until the next day.”

“Are you going for 2 days and 1 night?”

“Yeah. Since I’m all the way down there, I should go see the ocean.”

We’ve been talking about going on a trip abroad together for several years now.

But it’s not a foreign country.

But you are still going on the trip.

After Seongtae finished speaking like that.

“Can I go into the sea? Is it still cold?”

“There’s a sushi restaurant in Sokcho that I’m good at.”

Today the topic changed from performance plans to travel plans.

No one said a word about the performance.

I was going on a trip that I had only talked about, but I ended up going on it under the pretext of a performance.

We chatted and talked for a long time, our voices as excited as children’s.

While everyone was excitedly planning their trip.

Only my expression darkened.

Something came to mind when I heard Kook-young’s words.

There was one thing that kept bothering me, even though I thought it couldn’t be true.

**

Separate from the kids.

On the train home.

Let’s think over what Kookyoung said.

Even if we put aside the easy part, it’s an emotional issue.

Immature.

That word kept bothering me.

Our center director had little experience. He had never worked as a facility manager. So there were many areas where he was immature in handling the work.

Even though I visited the city hall every time, there were still some parts that were not dealt with.

When I heard that, something immediately came to mind.

‘If Mr. Jang manipulated his career, everything would be explained.’

I saw it often while working at the company.

In fact, there are quite a few developers who are truly incompetent but have inflated their careers.

After working together a few times, we got the general idea.

however.

It was something I often saw around me.

Still, I couldn’t doubt Mr. Jang.

“But I’m receiving government subsidies… Is this possible?”

The social workers’ labor costs were supported by national subsidies.

Naturally, the higher the pay grade, the more support money was provided.

I’m not sure, but the verification process would probably be more complicated.

It won’t end with just calling your former company.

Then it was obvious why they came to our facility.

Since it was a new facility, it didn’t receive any support funds anyway. Also, the facility manager was inexperienced and didn’t have the time to check every detail.

therefore.

‘Mr. Jang cannot transfer to another place.’

If my thoughts are correct.
