Sunchon Thermal Power Plant worker vandalizes employee performance chart
North Korea has been pushing for competitiveness between workers and among businesses through continuously updating progresses via media outlets and hanging up performance charts during review periods to show who is performing well and who is not. Furthermore, workers responsible for poor performance have been subject to administrative and even legal punishments.
As a result, recently, a worker at Suncheon Thermal Power Plant who has been under immense pressure due the government’s excessive competition, destroyed a performance chart on a bulletin board on the front gate of the power station after seeing himself being ranked low on the chart.
The authorities see the vandalism as a sign of dissatisfaction with the party’s policies and have in view to punish the worker strongly to set example.
