Internal backlash after the announcement of the bonus rate on the 28th of this month↑

Email sent to all employees, including the CEO,

Demand to explain the reason for’less incentives than competitors’

Management, in a separate briefing session, to appease members

Last year’s’surprising performance’ SK hynix (000660)Is sulking about the incentive pay. In particular, this year, low-annual employees sent an e-mail to the top management (CEO) saying, “Please clarify the criteria for paying incentives.”

According to SK Hynix on the 30th, 28,000 employees will be paid incentives equivalent to 20% of their annual salary on the 3rd of next month. This is equivalent to 400% of the basic salary. Earlier, SK Hynix announced the excess profit share (PS) ratio on the company intranet late in the afternoon of the 28th. PS, often referred to as incentive, is determined according to a separate formula determined internally when the company achieves the performance beyond its target at the beginning of the year. This is a different item from the Productivity Encouragement Fund (PI), which is paid two times each year in the first and second half of the year.

However, immediately after the company’s announcement, an angry atmosphere is detected, such as an anonymous application for office workers and a bulletin board in the company, such as “Trade Unions should be ashamed” posts. Here, an e-mail sent to all members, including the CEO, from an employee who revealed he was a four-year employee, fueled the burned home. The e-mail contains somewhat sensitive contents such as “Please disclose the method of calculating the index that is the basis for paying incentives” and “The gap in sales with competitors is acknowledged, but what is the reason for the lower incentives than other competitors” It is known that. After the email was distributed to all employees, additional posts were posted on the anonymous app for office workers, saying, “Do not penalize the author of the email” and “I will not stand it anymore and show it with action such as a strike.”
