The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is taking steps to prevent “suicide sales” in which companies force their employees to buy their own products in order to meet sales targets. Some people have committed suicide as a result of being forced to do so, and the guidelines based on the Act on Comprehensive Promotion of Labor Policies (Anti-Power Harassment Act) will clearly state that this constitutes power harassment, encouraging companies to take measures. Suicide sales refers to a practice in which a company forces employees who cannot meet their sales quotas to sign contracts at their own expense or to purchase unnecessary products. There are many examples of agricultural cooperative employees paying insurance premiums and employees of car dealerships covering discounts. In Aichi Prefecture, a man in his 30s who worked at a financial institution committed suicide after being forced to borrow money from his family in order to increase his required deposit amount. In a lawsuit filed by the victim’s family, the Nagoya High Court ruled in September that one of the causes of the suicide was self-destructive sales tactics resulting from excessive quotas and reprimands from superiors.

Last year, convenience stores stopped selling cakes outside at night. I felt sorry for the girl dressed as Santa.

It will be prohibited in the financial industry, but it will affect evaluations and bonuses.

This. It’s the same everywhere. What jobs have quotas? Punishment comes in different forms.

That’s it. Prevention measures are too late.

I should have just said it was a self-funded business.
If you say suicide, it doesn’t make sense.
I thought they were just going in and doing something.

It may be a crime in the first place, but if it’s not a crime according to the law then change the law now. Are you seriously an idiot?
31Anonymous Donburako.Nov. 25, 2024 (Mon) 12:22:26.57ID:WR+AhQqm0
Are you being forced to buy it? It would be fine if it was a product that could be resold.

Quota-based sales is no different from a pyramid scheme.

I think this every time, but I wonder if it would really work within an organization. They’re good at making it seem like they’re making people do things of their own volition, even though they don’t say it out loud, by indirectly encouraging them to do so or encouraging them to do so.

I’m sure there are many different companies out there, but if they’re not dealing with individuals, I wonder if the salespeople get the work.

What about the royal cake?

The word “netouyo” means “patriot.” In other words, the people who make fun of and criticize netouyo are anti-Japanese agents from China and Korea. Their goal is to make people think that being patriotic is uncool and to weaken Japan’s national power. Japanese people should be careful not to be misled by the posts of anti-Japanese agents.

I thought this was too severe to be classified as power harassment and was established in the category of self-destructive sales.

A common example is insurance, but cars are also a dark subject.

If there are no more ticket quotas, it might be good news for politicians.
