Lee Jae-myung, Informed of Hierarchical Power Abuse by Public Official, Orders "Suspend and Severely Punish"

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province has demanded severe disciplinary action and suspended the position of a senior public official who engaged in 'poor work attitude and power harassment against employees.'

The Team A leader, who was suspended from his position this time, was investigated internally on charges of fraudulently receiving overtime pay, using the office for personal purposes without permission, constantly verbally abusing team members causing humiliation, and provoking conflicts within the organization through unfair work orders.

After the investigation, the province explained that the lax work discipline of the mid-level manager who should set an example for employees and the power harassment against subordinate staff seriously damaged public service discipline, leading to the suspension of his position and a demand for severe disciplinary action.

In addition, the province is conducting an investigation into a 'Me Too' post on the internal bulletin board 'Wagle Wagle' at the provincial office, which alleged sexual harassment and sexual assault by a provincial office employee over several years.

Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung emphasized, "Using hierarchical power to commit power harassment and sexual violence is a serious misconduct that cannot be tolerated," adding, "We will enforce a zero-tolerance policy to punish such acts severely and establish public service discipline to prevent recurrence."
