The hot topic today is the recent decline in Samsung Electronics' stock prices.

Naturally, investors are left sighing over the trend.

Amidst this situation, some Samsung Electronics employees have sparked controversy by posting messages wishing for the stock price to drop even further.

Yesterday, on the 15th, posts welcoming the stock decline—such as "Drop to 100,000 won" and "It's more profitable if it goes down"—were successively uploaded to the employee-only bulletin board of an anonymous community for workers.

This reaction is interpreted as stemming from the special management performance bonuses scheduled to be paid out next year.

Samsung Electronics' management and labor union previously agreed to use 10.5% of the operating profit of the Device Solutions division as the financial resource for special management performance bonuses.

The method involves receiving individual performance bonuses in Samsung Electronics stock after deducting taxes and insurance premiums.

Because the number of shares is determined by the stock price at the time of payout, a lower stock price means they can receive more shares.

Netizens are expressing fury over these posts, criticizing a severe lack of empathy.
