The director of the local agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications was disciplined for a reduction in salary for repeating power harassment such as yelling at the managers of his subordinates.

The disciplinary action for the salary cut was the director of a man in his 50s who works for a local agency in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.



According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, from July to April last year, the director repeatedly harassed his subordinates' managers, saying that they were "not fully fulfilling their responsibilities," and so on. Was revealed by consulting with the window of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.



The director explained to the investigation that it was "a part of the guidance", but the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has determined that it is power harassment because it is beyond the scope necessary for business.



The National Personnel Authority revised the guidelines in June last year to clarify that power harassment is subject to disciplinary action for national civil servants, and after the amendment, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is the first to discipline power harassment.
