(Sisa Today, Sisa ON, Sisa On = Reporter Han Seol-hee)
Internal criticism raised that Kakao’s personnel evaluation system was harsh. Some employees do not hesitate to express ‘murder’ or ‘devil’ in Kakao peer review. On the 24th, Kakao also appealed for resentment that the criticism was excessive. Recently, some employees are anticipating a full response, such as filing a petition for labor supervision to the government, so it is noteworthy whether the conference will be terminated on the 11th.
Recently, a post that is believed to be the will of an employee of Kakao was posted in the anonymous community’Blind’. This article contains the stress of the personnel evaluation system. The article was immediately deleted, but Kakao employees repeatedly raised the question that the contents related to’peer evaluation’ among the personnel evaluation items were inappropriate.
People who are presumed to be incumbent say, “I expose in courage. Kakao’s personnel evaluation is murder,” he said. “It was designed to aim at each other at the ends of the swords, promoting distrust and doubt, not harmony and trust between colleagues. “A very cruel and demonic evaluation system that knocks on human self-esteem to the floor and trample it,” he raised his voice.
At the end of the year, Kakao is currently conducting a multi-faceted evaluation consisting of △upward evaluation △peer evaluation △downward evaluation. Among them, the peer review section reflects the responses to two questions:’Would you like to work with this colleague again?’ and’Would you like to work with this colleague when there is a project that requires outstanding results in the company?’ Colleagues who collaborated can respond with multiple choices such as △I want to work together △I don’t care △I do not want to work again △I can’t judge, and the evaluation party can only check the response rate. ‘1.58% of people said they didn’t want to work with you’.
Inside Kakao, there is a high criticism that providing only numbers to the person in question will help in reality. The preceding community said, “Without any follow-up measures to the evaluation, only the numbers are released.” “It makes me remind myself that some of my colleagues who talk, laugh, and eat with me every day have evaluated that they absolutely hate working with me. Writing poured out.
Kakao continued to listen to employees’ opinions and expressed a willingness to improve complaints, but expressed a position that the current controversy is mixed with misunderstandings.
An official at Kakao said, “First of all, the peer review is that I directly designate that I will receive the evaluation by a colleague who has cooperated for a year.” Also does not. (On the market) it is a misleading part.”
Regarding the criticism that disclosing only the numbers is not actually helpful, he said, “There is also a short answer evaluation in peer evaluation. “You can get detailed opinions from colleagues in this item,” he stressed, “The controversial part is one of many multiple choice items.”
On the other hand, as controversy arose, a Kakao employee reportedly received a petition for the labor supervisor on the 23rd, asking the government to investigate whether Kakao’s personnel evaluation was’bullying in the workplace’. According to the industry, the petition was filed with the Seongnam Employment and Labor Branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
The Labor Supervision Petition is a system in which a victim or a third party can request the government to investigate whether a company has violated labor laws. If the petition is accepted, the government can dispatch a labor inspector to Kakao to investigate the violation of the law and issue a corrective order.
Kakao said, “There has not been any official confirmation from the management regarding the labor supervision petition yet.” At the Open Talk conference (to be held on the 11th) Be able to share opinions on personnel evaluation issues and improvement directions”
