(Baonghean.vn) - Nearly 14,000 people working in the administrative and public service sectors will be laid off from now until the end of the year.2021. That is the proposal ofHo Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs.

The review criteria for streamlining will be very fair, even those with master's or doctoral degrees or positions such as district People's Committee chairman, department director, deputy head of department if they cannot do their job will also be streamlined.

The legal basis for this round of staff streamlining is Resolution 39/2015 of the Politburo on staff streamlining and restructuring of the civil servant team and according to Decree 108 of the newly issued Government, clearly stipulating the subjects of streamlining (Article 6 of Decree 108).

Looking at this announcement by the leaders of the local government of the country's economic locomotives, it can be clearly seen that the subjects that need to be downsized are fair, without limits or exceptions. Even those who are assessed to have a high level of education up to the doctoral level but cannot do the job will also be downsized.

However, what many people are concerned about is whether there are any exceptions in the framework of assessment criteria, and if it is determined that "training level is not suitable", will it be "unfair" for the workers, when in the past (and even now), the arrangement of positions and jobs in many cases is not suitable for the level, not suitable for the subject, but due to "relationships" and "exceptions" they receive salary from the budget.

Not only that, the review of whether there is duplication of state agencies is not the fault of the workers. If the workers in these agencies are being laid off because of no fault of their own, then along with other administrative measures, the government must also arrange for them the necessary and reasonable conditions to change their profession and means of livelihood, not just a decision paper.

On the other hand, it is necessary to seriously implement the set criteria system, do not let the situation of "the stick is bigger than the drum", the subject is the professional staff who are streamlined, the leaders are obviously in position. According to experts, to effectively streamline the payroll, it is necessary to quickly build a new system of evaluation methods for civil servants. It is necessary to apply scientific methods such as evaluation according to the output management system or it is also possible to supplement the "periodic civil servant examination" system - a system that is far different from the current annual review. In addition, it is necessary to pilot the replacement of the payroll system with the "flexible contract" system. Do not let the separation of "freeloading teams" to increase salaries push ordinary workers into a desperate circle.
