Day 116 of Leave: That Was No Guidance.

Komada-san was told this.

"Aren't you being harsh on the new hire?"

"You seem harsh toward Ichisan as well."

When told something like that,

anyone's heart would be unsettled.

But that meeting,

did not end there.

The clock's hands,

for one hour...

and even after exceeding two hours,

the "three-way meeting" labeled as "guidance"

was said to be an endless interrogation.

She said later,

"It was just like a police interrogation."

■ Guidance and Interrogation Are Different

Guidance is, by nature,

words meant to help someone grow.

But what was thrown at me during that meeting,

was based on "impressions"

"emotions"

and "personal likes and dislikes."

It was an "evaluation of my character" based on those things.

Something like that,

should not be called a meeting.

That was just a "critique."

And a bad one at that.

■ The Three-Way Meeting Had Become a Stage for a "Public Execution"

I thought about it after listening to Komada-san.

That three-way meeting at the workplace,

was not a place to improve problems.

It was a stage for correcting someone,

cornering them,

and whittling them down with words.

The temp leader was the star.

The manager just nodded along.

When the structure is distorted,

the words become distorted too.

■For two hours, her heart was continuously whittled away

“You look harsh”

“Aren't you being too strict with the new hires?”

Subjective evaluations continued endlessly.

But she wasn't harsh at all.

If anything, she was the gentle type who keeps her distance from others.

She was the type who carefully observes her surroundings and acts accordingly.

The two-hour summary thrown at me by such a person,

became the slope leading toward my resignation.

■ That was not an 'employee interview'

That interview,

was not meant to help anyone improve.

“Who to keep”

“Who to exclude”

It was meant for screening based on the values of the faction.

If you stay in a place like that,

Anyone's heart can break.

■ Conclusion

Komada-san is not at fault.

I am not at fault either.

What was broken was

that management structure itself.

I have carefully gathered the evidence.

Each and every piece of it

will become a "breakwater"

for someone else who has been hurt in the same way.
