The Goal Of This Game Is To Not Get Laid Off From Your Job
In Brief
A hit mobile app has you working really, really hard to not get fired as you climb the corporate ladder
Don’t Get Fired! is a hit survival-based indie game. Your mission? Climb up the corporate ladder from a newbie intern without connection to the President of the company through performing a series of mundane tasks. Gamers scurry from desk to desk, careful not to make any mistakes that will put their position in jeopardy.
It was created by Jin-po Lee, a mobile game programmer who was laid off three years in a row. In South Korea, youth unemployment is at an all-time high, and more than one in ten South Korean young adults are jobless. “Experience the extremely harsh working conditions in Korea with simple control!” the game cheerfully boasts.
