After an intern posted on social media that the manager of a Korean coffee chain encouraged part-time employees to call him before contacting their families in case, they experience a disaster—like a plane crash—and are unable to report to work, the manager has been the target of harsh criticism.

According to the South china Morning Post (SCMP), the statement was issued the same day that the nation had its worst aviation mishap, when a Jeju air aircraft from bangkok to south korea crashed on landing on december 29, killing 179 people.
 
A social media user claiming to be an intern at the Gong Cha coffee shop posted a message from their boss, the article said.

"Did you see today's plane explosion? During the holiday, several individuals are traveling abroad. In the event of a crash, message me to "hire an intern" before calling your parents. The intern cited the boss as stating, "Don't miss class." They further stated that the boss frequently made disparaging comments about staff members while they were employed, citing "testing the staff" as an excuse.
 
The intern added, "Please don't spend your money at Gong Cha to support them." "Is it OK to say this to a part-time employee? Don't you feel embarrassed as an adult?
 
Soon after the message went viral, Korean internet users became enraged and flooded social media with criticism of the manager's behavior.
 
Gong Cha Korea posted an apology on their website the next day.
 
"The investigation revealed that the incident was due to the inappropriate personal actions of a franchise manager," said the statement. "We are treating this matter seriously and disciplining the concerned staff members accordingly. We are creating improvement measures and fortifying our internal management processes to stop such events in the future."
