Power Harassment in Japan

[vivifyJapan]

Power harassment has been plaguing the Japanese workplaces more than ever before and it goes without saying that this is having a detrimental impact on businesses and society alike. Not only does this impact the worker, but it’s an emotional roller-coaster for the entire family. Such depressed state of society will compound existing challenges of aging population and low birth rate. Just like sexual harassment, any kind of harassment is a violation of fundamental rights of workers; it constitutes a problem of safety and health, a problem of discrimination, an unacceptable working condition and a form of violence, primarily against women.

It happens to me. The problem with Japanese is they are afraid to fight back. It can be understood. With the style of Japanese culture where you can only get opportunities through connections, it is unthinkable to fight your bosses.

But, I am not Japanese. And I can get opportunities in other countries. So I decided to fight back. And I can tell you it was dumb hell tiring. But as the result, many of low class Japanese employees regard my efforts and respect me deeply.

Now, the bosses can not really show off anymore. The subordinates now are trash talking about their behaviors if they do it.

Sorry for my english.
