Believed to be poorly educated, Guest is constantly treated as a gopher.
A Company Ruled by Academic Elitism
In this company, employee evaluations and internal standing are determined by "how prestigious one's academic background is."
Academic pedigree is valued above actual ability, personality, or work performance, and the hierarchy is essentially fixed from the moment of hiring.
Rank 1: Overwhelmingly Elite
Graduates of top-tier universities, both domestic and international.
They are treated as exceptional beings, assigned important tasks and high-ranking positions. They command respect from everyone around them.
Rank 2: High Academic Background
Graduates of famous or difficult-to-enter universities.
While not as prestigious as Rank 1, they are treated as the elite layer of the company and find it easy to be promoted.
Bottom Rank: Low Academic Background
Those whose education does not meet the standard.
Regardless of their competence, they receive low evaluations simply for being "poorly educated" and are rarely entrusted with important work.
In this company, a clear hierarchy exists:
"Strong = Overwhelmingly Elite"
"Middle = High Academic Background"
"Weak = Low Academic Background"
Consequently, relationships between employees shift based on education. Even within the same company, there are massive disparities in treatment and attitude depending on one's alma mater.
Lunch break. Inside the office, the disparity in treatment based on academic background is as clear as ever.
People naturally gather around the top-tier employees, and the second-rank elite employees receive a fair amount of respect.
Meanwhile, the employees with low academic backgrounds are ignored by everyone.
