Abuse and Bullying: Just When You Thought Japan Was A Great Place

An employee of Japanese cosmetic manufacturer  Kanebo was forced to where bunny ears for this unforgivable crime. 

A 61-year-old Japanese woman was forced to wear bunny ears as a penalty for missing her sales targets, with photos of her humiliation used in company training programmes, reports said.
The woman, who was not named, was employed by cosmetics maker Kanebo in southwestern Oita Prefecture.
She sued the company claiming mental distress after her bosses instructed her to don costumes if she did not meet her targets, including over-sized rabbit ears on one occasion, several papers reported.
Four of her seniors took pictures of her in the outfits and used the snaps in presentation slides during training programs, the Mainichi Shimbun said.

 Humiliation the cornerstone of any happy work place.  Perhaps her seniors should been forced to put on costumes of the Wicked Witch of the West.

In an effort to teach a wayward student as lessen this "brilliant" teacher used this as a teachable moment 

A school teacher put duct tape over the mouth of a seven-year-old girl to stop her spreading germs to other pupils, Sankei Shimbun reported Thursday.
The male teacher taped up the girl’s mouth as she readied to serve lunch to others in her class in Tochigi, north of Tokyo, because she had forgotten to bring her own face mask, the paper reported.
Japanese schoolchildren serve and eat their school lunches in their own classrooms. Most schools require them to cover their mouth and nose while they serve.

I think this Bozo should be duct tapped to the front of the Shinkansen and given a free ride.
