Discriminatory Performance Evaluation Practice to Foreign Employees

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Tons of company resources, great benefits, amazing infrastructure

Cons

This company lures foreign recruits to come work at their Korea HQ with competitive salaries. Unfortunately, they do not tell you that there is a double standard for performance evaluations. They never communicated this ahead of time. There was no transparency at all. Foreigners are evaluated at a higher standard because of their higher incomes. You want to hold foreigners at higher standard because of their higher pay? then give them a higher position that would be aligned with their salary so that they can deliver on higher expectations. This is discriminatory. Their bait and switch practice is very questionable and incredibly unfair
