Mapo-gu and Yongsan-gu Directors Retire Early, Consecutive Promotions for Managers and Team Leaders Announced
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] "I am tearfully grateful."
A district officer in Seoul recently conveyed this to a reporter.
The story is as follows.
A district director retired honorably before the end of their term, opening a path for promotion.
Mapo-gu and Yongsan-gu are examples of such cases.
Park Gwang-ok, Administrative Management Director of Mapo-gu, applied for early retirement two months before his retirement leave at the end of June, opening a path for Jo Man-ho, General Affairs Director, to be promoted.
Director Jo succeeded Park’s former position.
As a result, a series of promotions for directors and team leaders occurred, creating unexpected promotions and broad smiles.
In Yongsan-gu, Oh Seok-hwi, Director of Resident Welfare, retired honorably with more than a year left in his term.
This led to Jeong Eun-cheon, Administrative Support Director, being promoted to Grade 4 and advancing to the position of Secretary-General of the District Council. Additionally, Lee Jin-hee was appointed as Administrative Support Director, and No Jeong-ha was appointed as Public Relations Officer from the Job and Economy Division.
Conversely, in another Seoul district, Director A retired honorably about a month ago, but the vacancy has not yet been filled with a successor, leaving promotion candidates anxious.
Considering that promotion is the highest goal for public officials, and that their fate may change depending on the results of the June 1 local elections, those whose promotions have been confirmed feel greatly relieved to be able to spend the remainder of their terms stably.
Another district officer said, "At the critical moment when promotion depends on the local election results, the fate of junior public officials can change based on the courageous decision of their seniors, and those affected will never forget that kindness for life."
