Japan's schoolyard bullying extends to workplace
Article Abstract:
Maltreatment practices are rampant not only in Japanese educational institutions but also in workplaces. There has been a number of cases cited wherein workers are demoted for unknown reasons and forced to resign from their positions. These unfair practices may be attributed to ill-defined job description and lack of employee-employer agreement. It was also found that employers are frequently hesitant to file appropriate charges due to fears of losing their jobs.
