Nah. It's clear the office has sexual harassment problem, and they refused to solve it.
Yeah obviously, but it explains why someone like the class prez (I forgot her name atm) who didn't keep her head down and even called out her superior now gets ostracized as a troublemaker in that terrible office. Not that things like this frequently happen all over the world, especially with things like sexual harassment. My point is that "keep your head down and don't stand out" is a lot more socially enforced in Japan than in Europe for example. I mean this is the country where at public schools in Tokyo students with naturally brown hair were forced to dye their hair black and even underwear color got designated by the school up to 2022.
I think I read an article a few years ago written by US expat working in a Japanese company. People were always looking at her weirdly for going home on time and not doing overtime, but they could never do anything to her, because she was done with all her tasks like 2 hours before the day was even over, while everyone else was doing overtime. She was flabbergasted at the low efficiency.Japan is the least productive country in the world.
Manga may be considered as anecdotal evidence. But as they say, where's smoke there's fire.
Yeah, the only thing I can think of. Is majority of people there have too low self-esteem maybe. I believe more people should stand up for themselves. And if they can't be bothered. Just leave.
My guess is, her secret is in getting a full night's sleep. Overworking in an emergency situation is fine, but overworking in ordinary situation just means you'll be tired the next day.
I mean, the person doing the most victim blaming in ANY situation is the victim themselves and if we could read minds it would be a shit show listening to their thoughts, so obviously as someone who has always been a victim of outsider mentality, she'd blame herself for any negativity that can be associated with the topic including causing another person to be made an outsider
