RE:Taeyong spills that SM staffs are moving all to Hybe. Do you feel bad for SM?

The only person I know who moved from sm to hybe was that new jeans creative director

They probably just got better offers

When working usually you stay because:

1. You like your job

2. You enjoy the working environment

And leave because:

1. You get better offers

2. You don't like your current job

3. You don't enjoy the working environment

Tho, I wonder where's the link source

hybe want to be sm so bad

Quote from bartkun

one problem which I see in it is that

they are moving

because they got better payments, some of them are much higher paid

and...

the whole payroll in HYBE, monthly wages of workers rise fast thanks to that...

so someone will need to work hard to pay those wages

and sadly it will be our Idols who will do it...

I don't think that's such a problem. They're all Big 4 groups aka doing really well. Those idols are usually well-off. And management / creative staff at kpop companies are often treated like shit and notoriously underpaid. Employee ratings are usually pretty meh bc no bonus / bad holidays / work terrible hours / etc.

so I don't blame anyone for going where the pay is better, even if there's only a slight difference.

not surprising tbh

If they're getting better offers, good for them

I wonder how much the avg. kpop manager makes

I wonder what's inside Hybe

Hybe water?

Hybe is expanding fast and they can't do this with brand new staffs, is obvious they are gonna try to grab some of other entertainment companies experienced staffs

Staffs can leave anytime if they get better pay or benefits or work-life balance, even if the difference isn't huge, any improvement counts

Quote from bartkun

it's not slight difference tho...

according to articles Min Heejin is highest paid female employee in top 4 agencies

other people who are moving to HYBE also receive generous offers

yeah, but that's also not a bad thing. Companies willing to pay their employees good money usually get better results in the long run. Min Heejin is CEO of her label, so I'm guessing her salary is probably way above average for that reason.

Hybe is kinda that jealous ex-friend who dates ur old boyfriends

yeah, south korea is a small country, there's only so much employees with experience in big kpop industries lol and if the pay and benefit is better people will look into it, esp bc its a company that is constantly expanding

I think it'll reflect on the expensive meaningless merch the most

A jobs a job. If you get a better offer or better conditions then you'd at least consider moving if not move outright.
