“It’s a world you can’t live in at all.”
Saito was in his room watching Youtube as he recalled what had happened two days ago.
#################
“Saito-san, that kind of thing doesn’t happen these days.”
“When I first started working at my company, my section chief touched a woman’s butt at a drinking party and got away with it.”
“This is not the Japanese construction industry, but a foreign company. Also, trends have changed from 20 years ago. It’s different from the days when people smoked in the office.”
“I don’t know about you, but I don’t think anyone would have been offended by that when I first came here.”
“Things have changed in the last few years. You have to refrain from making inappropriate comments.”
“You know, I’ve been here since 2012. I’m no different from you guys living outside.”
The clerk looked embarrassed for a moment before smiling.
“I apologise fo the inconvenience. It’s thanks to the workers that users can use this service and there aren’t many people who have been working for longer than Saito-san. I am truly grateful. But that is also why I hope you will continue to be active in the future. We also need you to understand that the values of the people who come to us after will change even more, as is the case with Inoue-san. In order for use to work with such people in future, we would like to share this information with you, please show more restraint.”
“I keep telling you, you have to identify Excel experts from their search history and bring them here.”
“As the number of users increases, we are also busy collecting data to scout excellent experts. Recently, there has also been an increase in the amount of data that can be collected. Well, we are also shouldering part of Saito-san’s burden. We’ll do our best to make things easier for you.”
“Okay, okay. That’s all future work I guess. I’ll take my leave of absence respectfully.”
“Thank you very much. I’ve added the movie you requested to your account. It’s a fine night, so please enjoy the new movie. How about “Shin Godzilla”? “Baahubali” is also a good Indian movie.”
“Godzilla? That’s nostalgic. I haven’t seen many Indian movies, do you find them interesting?”
“They’ve been a huge hit in Japan as well. It’s just a pleasure to see what’s inside them.”
“Huh. No foreign movies? Western movies?”
“I put T2 in.”
“What the hell, don’t tell me it’s Terminator.”
“It’s Trainspotting 2. It’s a sequel to Trainspotting from 20 years ago.”
“Oh, that’s not too bad then. Thanks.”
“No need, I’m sorry about this incident, but if you have any other requests, please let me know.”
After that, before the movie Saito wanted to watch played, there was an unskippable diversity training video inserted.
