Samsung executives across all units will have to work six days a week, with the electronics giant citing uncertainties after its key businesses performed poorer than expected in 2023.
But on Monday, Samsung beat earnings expectations - and not just by a little bit. The company's operating profit jumped 933 percent in its first quarter ending in March.
By comparison, Samsung's operating profit dropped nearly 35 percent in the last quarter of 2023, but given the remarkable improvement over just a few months, the DailyMail.com reached out to Samsung to confirm whether it's still making its upper echelon of staff come in to work six days a week.
Under the plan, which went into effect as early as two weeks ago in certain units of the company, executives will have to work either on Saturday or Sunday following the regular five-day workweek, the Korea Economic Daily reported.
