September 20, 2023 : A Case of Power Harassment
© 安岡喜晴 (JoyShine)
Sometimes I go to different places as an occupational physician.
At the company I went to today, a girl suddenly came in.
She had tears in her eyes because she had been severely scolded, and she said that her boss is always like that, very hard on her.
This is a case of power harassment.
Every time I experience something like that, it reminds me of that incident.
The incident of the Dentsu employee, a girl who graduated from Tokyo University, who committed suicide after being severely and continuously bullied by her boss.
Whenever I remember that incident, my heart aches. I wonder what the occupational physician at that company did.
To put it bluntly, that case was a defeat for the occupational physician who caused such an incident to happen.
Therefore, I would never overlook bullying or power harassment.
After discussing the matter with an officer in the General Affairs Department, we decided to send a message to the person in charge to treat her subordinates kindly and nicely.
Hopefully, this will improve the situation.
