4. Dealing with
対応
🛑If you feel that you are being harassed, talk to the people around you. Some companies have harassment consultation desks. When you talk to someone, tell them exactly when, where, by whom, what they said to you, and how you felt at that time.
🛑If the harassment continues, it will be easier to deal with the problem if you leave a record of the harassment using memos or voice recordings and consult based on the record.
