Oh-se Moon for Mayor!
They do things differently, and dare I say, better in Seoul:
"Seoul City said yesterday it had sacked or suspended 24 public officials who were still underperforming after six months of intensive training....The city government earlier this year picked 102 deadbeat employees for retraining. Of them, a total of 44 failed to returned to work."The new system was designed to provide an opportunity to enhance the abilities of public employees who needed to work more efficiently and those with bad work ethics," said Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon. "Today's announcement is not the end of reforms but the beginning."
Oh confirmed that this will be a continuous project for the city, meaning they will retrain underperforming city officials until there is no one left to be retrained".
One for Boris to learn from, maybe?
