Three Tiers of Work at Genesislab, Discretionary Included [StoryPack-Genesislab ⑥]

The sixth StoryPack installment is about work arrangements. Genesislab runs three tiers in parallel: remote, flexible, and discretionary. Remote work is negotiated by team consensus. Flexible work sets a core window of 1 to 5 p.m. and lets each person set their own arrival and departure. The newest tier, discretionary work, applies to development and research roles and judges people by the quality of their output rather than the hours they log.

The company says compensation is “at or above industry average.” Layered on top is a flattened title structure and the “nim” honorific applied uniformly across the organization, both meant to ease flat communication. CEO Young-bok Lee framed the goal as “an organization where members push positive influence on each other while growing alongside the company.”

Founded in 2017, Genesislab now has 81 people across 21 teams. What began as an HR solution has expanded into AI video-content platforms and mental-health applications. The article reads as a pattern for holding scale and culture on the same table.
