Book Introduction
A Tiki-Taka Survival Story of Two Employees: A Startup Senior and a Foreign Newcomer

"We're Still Going to Work" is a record of two people working in completely different environments sharing their 'commute' times.
One is a veteran PO who has been working at a startup for 13 years, and the other is a newbie at a global company.
They live the same day to completely different rhythms, and define 'work' in their own ways.
Meetings and reports, onboarding and evaluations, interpersonal relationships and even burnout? The reality of office life—someone's daily routine, someone's battle—is captured in its raw form.
One side has no system and makes its own way, while the other side finds its own pace within the system.
This book ultimately asks:
“What kind of environment do you want to grow in?” When the meaning of work is shaken, this conversation between two people gives me the strength to go back to work.

Publisher's Review
Reading this book is so unfamiliar and honest
It's a glimpse into the 'real life of a company'


The authors share practical survival tips as they navigate the chaotic freedom of startups and the structural order of foreign companies.
Timing is more important than reports, responsibility is more frightening than meetings, and the realization that work is ultimately about “the power to persevere to the end.”

The tiki-taka conversations that take place across different organizations are light, but the content is weighty.
Everyday phrases like “What would your company do in such a situation?” and “We do it this way, what about you?” suddenly connect with the reader’s own experiences.

What makes this book special is that it doesn't just give advice.
Instead, the authors reveal in detail their own experiences of being hit and broken.
So, this book is not a textbook on corporate life, but rather a 'record' of those who survived as office workers.

For those who find commuting to work every day burdensome, “We’re Still Going to Work” speaks quietly.
“You’re not the only one.
We're still on our way to work."
