Jang Nara, a junior employee, is in her 6th month. She strictly follows the 9 to 6 schedule.

However, Grace, her senior, pursues a performance-oriented work style and considers completing the work more important.

Grace (firmly): Nara, I look at results, not just hours. Leaving on time when things aren't done isn't a responsible attitude. What's important in work isn't "by what time" but "whether it's done." Our company has a culture that evaluates based on 'performance'. Please remember that outcomes come before timing.
