The end of a love affair at work: Samarkand official "caught" in a video conference was fired

A photo from a video conference involving employees of the Ministry of Employment and Labor has spread on social media. The image shows an employee from the Katakurgan district, Samarkand region, participating in the meeting while sitting with a woman on his lap. This incident sparked a wide discussion on social media, and the ministry subsequently issued a statement, describing the situation as "a violation of the ethics of a civil servant."

The Ministry of Employment and Labor decided to terminate the employment contracts of these employees. The ministry also emphasized that it adheres to a principle of zero tolerance for violations of service discipline and ethical standards within its system.

This statement from the ministry once again highlighted the importance of ethical conduct in the civil service and reminded all employees of the need to strictly adhere to these standards.
