Chapter 235 109. Public Officials
-In the era of 650,000 public servants … More than 50,000 people “study more than 10 hours a day”
– 650,000 ‘public servants’ shake the youth unemployment rate statistics
– Among the economically inactive population, 856,000 people were classified as ‘preparing for employment’
– 13.2% of Korea’s youth population (aged 20-29, 6,445,000) are ‘public students’
– The economic loss from mass production of public servants is KRW 24 trillion per year
– The government is too focused on public sector jobs… The government’s financial burden is only increasing…. We need to create an environment where businesses can create jobs.

“Hmm······.”
I sat leisurely in my office and read the economic newspaper.
‘Public student…’
When I read the newspaper, it was found that 13.2% of the youth population were clinging to the civil service exam.
‘This is just an exposed figure, and most young people these days are preparing for civil servants?’
There is no need to worry about being cut off as a civil servant, it is stable for life, and the pension is also fast.
‘But soon the world will change…’
In the old days, what people did was always done by people…
‘Now that artificial intelligence can do things that humans can do.’
Simple calculations, statistics, and classification were done better by artificial intelligence.
And without any errors.
‘The public officials’ pension was exhausted in 2002, and the private pension as well as the number of students decreased, and the school was abolished soon enough.
Most of the civil servants’ pensions are not filled with their salaries, but with the people’s taxes.
‘That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but there are more serious problems.’
It was the young unemployed who rushed to the civil service jobs after targeting such blind spots.
‘Public civil servant jobs are limited, but most of the young people flock to it, so companies and other jobs are either understaffed or filled with foreigners.’
Of course, many young people were still flocking to companies with high salaries and popularity, but there was a serious manpower shortage in those jobs that were not.
‘I have to fix this somehow…’
Even so, it was impossible to drastically cut public officials’ pensions suddenly.
‘Besides, public corporations’ debt is also serious…’
Public officials’ pensions are also losing 4 trillion won each year, but public corporations are also making losses of 3-4 trillion won annually.
‘If the two are combined, the cause is about 8 trillion won…’
Of course, public officials and public corporations should provide services at a low price, even if they incur losses for the people.
However, if you “take it for granted” that you will lose money every year, you may end up unable to handle the accumulated deficit, leading to privatization or bankruptcy of the public corporation.
‘But it’s not like our tower can’t pay you back…’
Of course, you can pay it back if you decide to pay it back.
However.
‘First, you have to show the effort to be self-sufficient, but the tower can help you…’It wasn’t that difficult to donate about 10 trillion won to the country every year.
However, if you continue to pay it back easily and easily, you might end up spending your money knowing that Matop will solve it all.
– 13 public corporations with ‘chronic deficit’, lost 13 trillion won in 5 years
– Even with a lot of debt and deficits… Busan public corporations ranked first in the nation in average annual salary
-Company is a ‘debt feast’, employees are ‘salary feast’
-Government commissioned investigation into 109 cases of hiring corruption in public institutions…
-The average performance pay rate of public corporations is 120%. The average head of the agency is 67.09 million won, and the employee is 4.7 million won.
.
.

‘The country’s money has turned into blind money…’
The reality is that employees of public corporations are earning as much as executives and managers of large corporations, while saying they are in the red every day.
‘If you’re in a deficit, you should tighten your belt like a deficit and think about reducing your debt somehow…’
The reality was that we just threw bombs at the next government, the next head of the agency, and after retirement, we played golf while receiving a large pension.
‘But it cannot be privatized…’
If a private company were to take over the current public company, it wouldn’t be so lax.
We will do our best to make a profit as a company.
However.
‘If that happens, the public sector’s rate hike is inevitable.’
In the past, there was a time when the Internet went into turmoil because the government was privatizing public companies.
That was probably in the late 2000s, and the water bill rose more than 10 times, electricity bill bombs, etc….
Anyway, rumors were circulating.
This means that the public is very anxious about the privatization of public enterprises.
‘Anyway, in order to reduce the chronic deficit of public institutions, a more realistic alternative is needed.’
First, it was necessary to find a way to reduce the debt of public corporations without raising rates as much as possible along with the financial safety assessment of companies with chronic deficits.
‘We need to adjust the performance pay of our employees more realistically and drastically reduce public works wasted by political power.’
To get votes, it’s weird, and it’s a business, and the apprenticeship is passed on to the next person, and it’s repeated over and over again…
The vicious cycle continues with the tax paid by the people.
‘I think it would be good to create a task force (Task Force) to monitor employee incentives and public projects so that the tax paid by the people can be used realistically.’
That way, the wasted budget or tax would be significantly reduced compared to now.
‘Okay, let’s try it.’
First of all, civil servants.
beep.
I called Yu Jin-kwang by pressing the call bell.
squeaky.
“Did you call, manager?”
When Eugene Guang appeared dignified, I looked at him and opened his mouth.
“Are there a lot of public officials these days?”
At my words, Eugene Kwang crossed his arms and burst out laughing.
“It’s a lot. These days, even college students just graduate… Almost all the kids are BJs or civil servants.”
“Hmm.”
It was a bit exaggerated, but what Jinkwang Yoo said was not completely wrong.
“Then shouldn’t we take action?”
“Yes. These days, young people do not think about getting a job, and the country is not going well because they are all civil servants.”
Yoo Jin-kwang gave me a little bit of what he had been talking about at a recent FKI meeting, and he muttered it.
“What the hell is it that public officials are stable… They pay only a marginal salary, and their pensions keep decreasing, aren’t they? After all, aren’t these jobs that will be mostly replaced by artificial intelligence in the future?”
“Yes.”
I agree with Yu Jin-kwang’s words, and I threw it away.
“Then, shouldn’t Yoo Jin-kwang come forward?”
“Am I?”
“Yes. They say that these days, young people who only cling to public officials are pathetic.”
“Ah, then maybe…?”
Watching Jin-gwang Yoo’s surprised expression, I nodded.
“Try aggro once. Go to the show.”
I gave Yoo Jin-kwang what he could do best and got up from his seat.
“Then I will leave work.”
“Oh, your boss.”
Whoop!
I teleported right there on the spot, whether Jin-kwang Yu saw it or not.

“Shall we reform public officials and create a task force to monitor public corporations?”
“Yes, craftsman.”
He told me to take out the iron fire in a short time, so I went to the president immediately after leaving work early.
“How long has it been since public education was overthrown?
As the two were dragged around like OnePlus One, I added that we had to reform together.
“Even if it’s not this government, wasn’t it something that needs to be reformed someday?”
“That’s right.”
First, the public officials explained that the problem was not with the civil servants themselves, but with the young people flocking to them.
“Isn’t it a huge loss for the whole country as young people who have to get a job at each company and have to work are spending their time holding government books that are not helpful at all to get a job?”
“The youth unemployment crisis is serious. No, not only the youth, but also the middle-aged and the middle-aged have a serious unemployment problem.”
President Choi Jong-hwan was also aware of the chronic problems of the present Republic of Korea, but he almost gave up because there was no suitable alternative.
I am towards such a president.
“If there’s a problem, don’t watch it, just fix it.”
“Solve the problem?”
“That’s right.”
When the president asked how?
“We need to induce young people who are driven by civil service exams to find employment in other companies.”
“How do you get 650,000 civil servants who are preparing to become civil servants to get a job at the company?”Even if the state tries to induce it, it is not easy.
At Choi Jong-hwan’s question, I caught my breath for a moment, then opened my mouth again.
“I think we should introduce a performance-based salary system to public officials, as we did during the reform of public education, and fire them if their ability to work is poor.”
“Are you going to fire a public official? In addition to the performance-based salary system…?”
When I suggested the two things that civil servants would hate the most, President Choi Jong-hwan shook his head.
“There will be a massive strike. The administration of the country may be paralyzed.”
As if my opinion was nonsense, President Choi Jong-hwan answered that way.
I am towards such a president.
“People who want to quit can just tell them to quit. Then we have to hire new people.”
In my words, President Choi Jong-hwan.
“A new manpower?”
He tilted his head and muttered.
“Ah… maybe?”
“That’s right.”
President Choi Jong-hwan smiled meaningfully as if he understood and then nodded his head.
“I’ll trust you and give it a try. The National Assembly is also very favorable to my policies these days, so it will not be too difficult for the bill to pass.”
“It has to be.”
Since the members of Parliament have now become my faithful servants, they have to obey my orders until I retire… no, until the day I die.
Some lawmakers have avoided parasites, but very few.
“Then I believe you have granted it, and I will prepare myself.”
“If it’s ready…”
“That’s right. As long as a large-scale strike is expected, we have to prepare for it as well.”
“Well… please.”
I got up immediately after receiving President Choi Jong-hwan’s invitation.
I hadn’t even had dinner with the president today.

“So, it is necessary to mass-produce electronic humans to prepare for it.”
“Are you an electronic person?”
I called Nam-ryong Jeong, the president of Matop Electronics, and explained the story I had with the president exactly as it was.
“In preparation for a large-scale strike by public officials, we need to prepare for a manpower shortage before implementing a policy.”
“But, is that possible right now?”
Are you an electronic person?
Even in 2024?
Does it make sense?
At Nam-ryong Jeong’s murmuring, I
“Available.”
Without thinking, he nodded immediately.
“Maybe it will be a strong AI Android, which is about 10 years earlier than it is now.”
In the event of a strike, we will create a replacement manpower instead of standing by as it is!
At my declaration, President Nam-ryong Jeong opened his mouth wide.
