Concerns About the Corporate Culture and Harassment Issues at Fuji TV
Recently, harassment issues at Fuji TV have become a topic of discussion. The reality of sexual harassment and power harassment in the news and information production departments has been revealed, with astonishing statistics reported. It was noted that 18% of employees have experienced physical contact, and 28% have been
subjected to sexual conversations in the workplace. Such figures are unimaginable in a typical company, and I must admit that hearing this was quite distressing. As someone who works part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, I understand the importance of a healthy work environment. Without mutual trust, it’s impossible to focus on work, leading to increased stress. The thought of how much anxiety and fear the employees at Fuji TV must be feeling weighs heavily on my heart.
The Reality of Harassment and Internal Reactions
Additionally, I’ve heard news about the establishment of a third-party committee to investigate past harassment incidents, which suggests that the company has recognized these issues have been present for quite some time. However, it raises questions about whether this is a genuine effort to address the problem or merely a superficial improvement measure. If employees provide testimony and the response is, “That’s not true,” it would turn the situation into a farce. When discussing this with a friend, he seemed to share my concerns, stating, “Isn’t it ridiculous that a media organization is a breeding ground for harassment?” His words were laced with irony. Indeed, while demanding clean reporting from viewers, the company is engaged in the opposite practice internally, which undermines its credibility.
The Need for Young Voices
As mentioned in user comments, if young employees do not speak up, the situation is unlikely to change. Their courageous actions could be the catalyst for cultural transformation within the organization. Of course, addressing harassment issues is not something that can be resolved overnight, but I hope to see gradual improvements. As a judicial scrivener, I would like to contribute in any way I can from a legal standpoint. While I would prefer to avoid facing such issues, if necessary, I am prepared to offer legal advice or support.
We Want to Hear Everyone’s Opinions
Reflecting on this issue, I am very curious whether Fuji TV will genuinely change or if it will merely continue to gloss over the situation. As a viewer, I hope the company will fulfill its responsibilities. If any of you have experiences or opinions regarding harassment issues at Fuji TV or other companies, please share your thoughts in the comments. I believe it’s essential for each of us to keep thinking about this issue.
