Big-tech names under hounding round-up by Korean authorities have been summoned by the labor minister, demanding stronger actions to prevent workplace bullying, which has been cited as a major issue in tech and IT firms along with long working hours. A Naver employee in May committed suicide after suffering from workplace bullying, and Kakao employees in March filed a petition asking labor office to correct unfair employment practices.
