The challenges are:
1) Redlight greenlight but it's asking questions between pauses from the prospect. DON'T INTERRUPTย 

2) Carve out the KPI shape from the cookie they are handed. God help those who get the 100 calls a day shape.

3) Divided into teams and those with the most demos/meetings set in one hour win.

4) Have to do that weird glass panel level but at the same time each panel of glass corresponds to a validated prospect that is sent for a demo. One is a real prospect and the other is a competitor company looking to demo your product and knows what to say to give them a meeting to gather your sales methods.

5) No change, they just play squid game.

Itโ€™s a mockumentary on how companies are hiring. The games are sadistic interview rounds designed for executive pleasure. The Head Man is the hiring manager who ironically has been in the candidatesโ€™ position before but is now desensitized due to corporate exposure. Thereโ€™s a recruiter, who seeks out the desperate and destitute and only cares that you sign up, not whether or not you win and even beats you down during the screening. Squares are HR managers and triangles are the ATS system telling you that youโ€™ve been eliminated like a shot in the face without any kind of feedback. Thereโ€™s even VIP investors who manipulate the outcome, and in the end, the winner goes to Glass Door trying to call the company out and warn other candidates, but alas, nobody believes him so the games continue in perpetuity.

Wowza. I feel like sales has really got to you. I love this, but...can we all help?

Unless this actually is an exact description of it then yes!

Asked some buddies the same question and got a big yes.

Apparently it's #1 in all 83 regions it's available, and it's not in English, so I think that's saying something.

Hoping to watch the first ep tonight though

I never wouldโ€™ve thought I would like it. Not to mention dubbed can be annoying to watch. But this show is 100000% worth the watch

I got so annoyed at the dubbing for Lupin, so switched to subs like right away. Passing knowledge of French helps though

Had no issue with the subs in Parasite so will probably just do that for Squid Game.

Update: Watched the first episode with English subs and Korean audio.

Will 100% be continuing the series. SO well done.

I got through the first one as well. Solid pilot! Reminded me a bit of battle royal. I did watch it dubbed since I was eating and hate to time my bites while watching a series.ย  ย

Hahaha the struggle is real. I have mastered this but my girlfriend can't eat anything with a fork while watching TV.

Finished episode 3 and still damn strong. Great capitalistic parable.

Hate to say it but way to hard to follow with it not being in English and the subtitles do not match up correctly. Maybe I need to give it another try.ย

Had to look it up after this post, and I'm intrigued.ย  Sounds dark and grim, so depending on my mood later on, could be good to look into.

Never been a fan of non-English TV shows (tried watching Dark and that damn thing went right over my head). But squid game. Squid game, I wish some parts did go over my head. Whew

Social media keeps saying how the subtitles don't represent how they are actually speaking.ย 

I may as well be an actor in that series the way prospects speak to me.ย
