“I want a future auto expert who is an executive in a private company with 10 to 20 years of experience. How many of those experts will receive an annual salary of 90 million won as a manager?” (Official of the Ministry of Industry)
The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy is struggling with the future automobile industry, whose documents are closed on the 17th. Industry Minister Seong Yun-mo declared in a state audit last month that “we will select private careers with experience. and automotive innovation in the future, “but the position is low and the expected salary is lower than the average annual salary of workers in Hyundai Motor’s domestic factories (92 million won). It was observed that it would be difficult to draw. Some members of the government say: “Instead of abolishing the obligation rate for open positions, we need to reorganize the system so that special talents can be incorporated by paying a high salary and entrusting them ‘important things.’
20 years of experience as an executive of a private company, is the annual salary 90 million won?
On the 3rd, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Public Administration and Security decided in a state council on a project to modify the order with the aim of establishing a new future vehicle. The Division of Future Vehicles is an organization that carries out promotional tasks for the automotive industry of the future, which were shared by other organizations such as the current Division of Automotive and Aviation. Specifically, it will develop and commercialize technologies in the automotive field of the future, promote distribution, create industrial infrastructure, converge and integrate related industries, and respond to global regulations. This plan was widely known last month when Minister Seong said in a parliamentary audit: “I will create a related department to promote the future auto industry and select experts from the private sector as managers.”
The Ministry of Industry decided to hire people with private experience as manager of the Future Vehicles Division and, after receiving the application documents for the vacant positions before the 17th, decided to hire the right people by January next year. However, within the Ministry of Industry, there are many opinions that it will be difficult to select private experts. It is because the treatment is deficient to select the ‘private expert with experience’ that the Ministry of Industry wants.
Looking at the case of hiring a local government with a similar position (open type 4), the annual salary that the manager of the future automobile division will receive is not expected to exceed the level of 9.198 million won before tax. Compared to the rapidly growing hydrogen and electric vehicle industry, private companies are paying hundreds of millions of dollars in annual salaries to bring related experts in front of them. An industry ministry official predicted that “although there are exceptions that can be raised through additional consultations, it will be difficult to match the salary received from the private sector in a similar way.”
Within the Ministry of Industry, it is expected that people from national research institutes such as the Automobile Research Institute will eventually be selected as heads of the future automobile. An official from the Ministry of Industry said: “Under these conditions, it is practically impossible to select private human resources. If a graduate of the Automotive Research Institute is selected, experience in related fields can be guaranteed, but it is contrary to the original purpose of adding a private perspective to new industrial policies “. I pointed.
Criticism of “open position, no important positions … famous office”
It is said that in the government office, it has been a long time since the open positions system has become virtually ineffective. It is pointed out that in reality it is difficult to select a suitable expert, although a certain percentage of managerial-level personnel must be selected as vacant positions in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Human Resources Innovation. A government official pointed out that “in the end, there are many cases of opening minor positions to ‘cotton hedging’ to equalize the ratio.”
A representative example is that the Ministry of Industry recently decided to transfer the new Trade Policy and Trade Ordering Officer, who performs trade-related duties, from an open position to an internship. Regarding this decision, a government official interpreted it as “because the position became important.” The new trade and trade policy officer generally oversees interstate litigation and litigation-related matters. As protectionism intensifies and interstate lawsuits become more prevalent, this position has become even more important than before. In particular, this position is known to play an important role in establishing government countermeasures in relation to the Japanese government’s decision to release radioactive water from Fukushima.
There is also an opinion that it is in a similar context that the future tea manager was chosen as a vacant position. A related industry official predicted: “Although the car of the future is important, the policy related to the car will continue to be directed by the Department of Automobiles, as the proportion of the existing industry related to internal combustion locomotives remains a large part of the entire automotive industry. “
Government officials said: “The open positions system itself is a difficult structure to hire private experts.” One official said: “A professor or researcher from a national research institute can return to their original job after working in a vacant position for about 3 years, but private staff must find a job again.” “Only those herbs are collected for rice,” he said. For this reason, there is a strong voice that each ministry needs to reorganize the related system. The goal is to reduce the duty ratio of job vacancies so that there is no need to make a ‘confrontational person’ and instead the highest level of experts can be treated unconventionally.
Some point out that the system must be changed so that they can do “great things”, one step away from the existing public office order. An Industry Ministry official said: “In fact, few people want to become public servants by looking at money, and there are many people who want to enter public office in terms of their careers or self-realization,” he said. did. He said: “There should be many cases like Jung Haneul, who was a star lawyer who led a reverse victory in the World Trade Organization (WTO) Japanese imported food dispute,” he said. “He came into public office and achieved great results even though his salary was cut in half.
