It turned out that a man in his thirties who worked at a Toyota dealership was found to have committed suicide as an industrial accident because of his boss's power harassment.
Frequent reprimands in front of other employees
According to the bereaved family and the lawyer of the agent, the man worked as a full-time employee at the store in Fujisawa City of the current "Kanagawa Toyota Motor" and "Toyota Corolla Yokohama" at that time, and was in charge of sales, but in May I committed suicide.
A man had depression three months before his death, and as a result of investigation by the Labor Standards Inspection Office, his boss at work frequently rebuked him in front of other employees, saying, "Let's do it," for an hour. I found that there was something more than that.
For this reason, the man's suicide was attributed to his boss's power harassment, and was recognized as an industrial accident in June.
According to lawyers, a survey by the Labor Standards Inspection Office also found that there were cases where overtime work for men exceeded 100 hours a month and overtime hours were declared less than they actually were.
According to the bereaved family, the man was worried when his boss said, "Don't come back until you sell it. Compensate for it" when the temporary contracts for purchasing new cars were canceled one after another.
The parents of the man I met said, "I really wanted to know why my son had to die. The company apologized to my son, wanted him to change his constitution, and asked all Japanese companies. I want you to create a more comfortable working environment. "
"Kanagawa Toyota Motor Co., Ltd." commented, "We pray for the souls and apologize and condolence to our families. In the future, we will strive to prevent recurrence so as not to cause such a painful incident."
