우리 레스토랑 사장은 늘 주식으로 허황한 약속을 하며 직원들을 달랬다. “초과근무 두 시간 하면 주식 0.01%, 다른 사람의 일을 대신하면 0.01% 추가, 회사의 비용을 10만 원 아끼면 또 0.01%를 줄 거야.” 사장은 같은 말을 반복했고 나는 사장에게 말했다. “이런 주식 배당 정책은 문서로 명확히 공지하고 이를 기록할 전담 직원을 두는 게 좋을 것 같아요.” 하지만 사장은 그저 웃으며 말했다. “굳이 그럴 필요 없어. 열심히 하면 보상은 제대로 해줄 테니까.” 물론 그의 말은 어디에도 기록되지 않았다. 오래된 직원들은 사장의 말을 믿지 않았지만 주방에서 채소를 손질하던 한 직원만은 이를 진지하게 받아들였다. 그는 1년 동안 초과근무를 하고 다른 사람의 업무까지 도맡아 하고 회사 비용을 아끼며 자신이 받을 주식을 꼼꼼히 계산했다. 그리고 연말이 되자 사장을 찾아가 말했다. “사장님, 약속하신 대로 주세요.” 하지만 사장님은 전혀 신경을 쓰지 않으며 대답했다. “주방장이 그러는데 우리가 정식으로 문서를 작성한 적이 없잖아요? 그래서 이건 공식적으로 시행된 게 아니에요. 그러니까 미안하게 됐네요.” 그 말을 들은 직원의 얼굴은 굳어졌다. 그는 1년 동안 아무 보상도 받지 못했다는 사실을 깨닫고 분노를 억누르지 못했고 그 분노는 나를 향했다. 설 연휴를 앞두고 내가 고향으로 내려가기 전날, 그는 칼을 들고 나를 찾아왔다. “네가 그때 문서 없으면 안 된다고 말했지? 네 말만 아니었어도 이 레스토랑은 전부 내 것이었을 거야!“ 그는 칼을 휘둘렀고, 나는 피투성이가 되어 쓰러졌다. 마지막 숨을 내쉬며 눈을 감았지만, 다시 눈을 떴을 때 나는 사장님이 처음으로 그 허황한 약속을 했던 바로 그날로 돌아와 있었다.
