入社にゅうしゃ2年ねん目めの研究けんきゅう員いん自殺じさつ 両親りょうしんが会社かいしゃなどに賠償ばいしょう求もとめ提訴ていそ

A researcher in their second year at a major manufacturer committed suicide, and the parents have filed a lawsuit seeking compensation from the company, claiming that harsh supervision—such as repeatedly being ordered to rewrite reports without specific instructions—was the cause.

The company responded to the interview by saying, We have been accommodating employees consultations and making personnel transfers as needed.

The bereaved familys views differ from those of our company.

The parents of a 25-year-old man who committed suicide in his second year at major carbon product manufacturer Nippon Carbon four years ago filed a lawsuit at the Tokyo District Court on the 30th, and their attorney held a press conference.

According to the report, the man was in charge of research on lithium-ion batteries and submitted monthly reports, but his supervisor, who sat next to him, told him things like This kind of report is useless and I dont understand any of this, and ordered him to rewrite the reports multiple times without giving any specific instructions.

In his second year at the company, he was transferred to a different position and got a new boss, but his seat changed from next to his former boss to across from him, and two months later, he passed away.

The parents claim that the suicide was caused by harsh guidance, and the company and former supervisor are responsible, and are seeking more than 90 million yen in compensation.

In response to NHKs inquiry, Nippon Carbon stated, We have conducted a fact-finding investigation, but we did not confirm any instances of so-called power harassment by the supervisor.

We have responded to consultations from the deceased employee and made arrangements such as job transfers, so we must state that the bereaved familys view that our company bears legal responsibility differs from our own.

If a lawsuit is filed, we intend to respond sincerely.

The parents attorney, Takashi Izumi, stated at a press conference held in Tokyo on the 30th, It seems that the training of new employees was left up to their supervisors, resulting in inconsistencies depending on who was in charge.

The Labor Standards Inspection Office recognized the mans suicide as a work-related accident last April, stating that the quotas were difficult to achieve and the supervisors remarks amounted to severe reprimands.

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has set up a website to accept consultations for work-related concerns.
