Mr. Nhat Anh temporarily resigns as General Director of Nha Nam after accusations of "harassment"

Announcement on Nha Nam Book Company Fanpage.

On the evening of April 18, Nha Nam Book Company announced that it had temporarily suspended Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh from his position as General Director after accusations of "harassing female employees."

In the official announcement shared on Nha Nam Book Company's Facebook fanpage, this bookstore also confirmed some related content such as stopping cooperation with Mr. Dang Hoang Giang, author of many best-selling books published by Nha Nam in recent years.

At the same time, Nha Nam Company also assigned Mr. Duong Thanh Hoai, Deputy General Director, to be responsible for handling issues related to the company during the time Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh temporarily suspended his position.

Nha Nam said that the company will also work with the competent authorities and Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh himself to verify and clarify the relevant events and information; determine the nature and extent of the incident; determine the extent of damage to the related parties and to Nha Nam Company. From there, there will be appropriate handling and disciplinary measures for Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh at Nha Nam Company.

In addition, Nha Nam Book Company also admitted its mistake in receiving the former employee's information and handling it unsatisfactorily. At the same time, the company committed to fully bear all costs related to the mental and physical damage of the above employee. Nha Nam committed to publicly updating all information related to the incident as soon as it has been verified and clarified.

These moves were made less than a day after Nha Nam posted Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh's apology, but received angry reactions from the online community on the company's fanpage.

Previously, on April 16, rumors about "alleged harassment between the boss and female employees at Nha Nam Book Company" spread after Mr. Dang Hoang Giang - an author who had long collaborated with Nha Nam - stopped working with this unit.

Mr. Dang Hoang Giang did not specify the reason for the termination of cooperation. However, many people spread a letter said to be from Mr. Dang Hoang Giang to Nha Nam, in which the General Director of Nha Nam Book Company was accused of having verbally and physically touched a female employee beyond the limit.

Then, on the morning of April 18, through Nha Nam's Fanpage, Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh sent an apology to his employees, colleagues, friends, partners and readers. He admitted that there were some actions "showing care and affection" for female employees. However, according to him, these actions did not exceed the ethical limits between people and were in a specific context, so he thought that he did not anticipate the extent to which the incident could hurt the employees.

However, Nha Nam Book Company has now removed Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh's apology because the company believes that the information is personal because Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh used the company's fanpage to post it./.
