You've somehow confused me ever since you've transferred here.
I don't know...
what is right anymore...
You, Minamisanjo, acted on your own beliefs!
I misunderstood you.
I'm sorry.
Please come in.
Pardon the intrusion.
I'm sorry for the abruptness.
This is out of the norm for you to drop by without an appointment.
I'm also wondering if it's Danda's influence.
This is unrelated to Danda.
I'm sorry, but could you leave?
What?
What's up with the serious face.
It's okay, we're former co-workers.
Leave Kurumizawa.
Yes, ma'am.
Please.
So, what did you want?
Why did you tell me that I could become a social insurance worker?
What part of me are you interested in to scout me?
The fact you're asking this must mean
you're quitting the Labor Dept and you're interested in joining us?
That's not the case.
Yes, that's not it, but...
it's just that I don't have much time up until now to think about it.
Minamisanjo.
Let's look for a 200 yen apple.
What?
Which one is better, 200 yen or an apple?
-Which is better? -Yes.
Also why is it better?
Come next time if you know the answer.
We'll talk about other things at that time.
Minamisanjo is late.
It's probably because Danda faced him and said "You're unexpected."
I wonder if it was major damage.
Minamisanjo is the honor student type.
It's probably the first time he's been told he was unexpected.
But I'm not at all surprised.
What?
But Danda
didn't even let Minamisanjo bother her and
took Takemitsu Factory on.
But the worker's comp wasn't given in the end though.
But that president was behind on fixing the exposed wiring though.
The instant she saw it...
Last time Inspector Minamisanjo recommended this be fixed.
And despite that, you still neglected it.
I will build a case against you to be prosecuted for a violation of passage 20 of The Labor Safety and Health Law.
Komiya's impersonation is spot-on!
Mr. Takemitsu! If you're found guilty,
you will spend 6 months in jail and pay more than 500,000 yen
in penalties period.
Period.
-Hot! -Ah!
I wouldn't want her as an enemy. No way!
There's a distinction between worker's accident insurance and work-related injury.
-Hey, stop whispering! -We're sorry.
-Komiya's impersonation... -Section Chief, Minamisanjo isn't coming, huh.
Minami is off. I received a call from his mother saying he's taking his yearly paid holiday.
Paid holiday so suddenly?
He's always been systematic with putting requests in 6 months in advance.
He's shutting down from the personal stress!
Personal stress?
It's Danda stress, Danda stress!
Good morning.
You're not early! That's not on time!
-You overslept? -No, I did not.
I saw a banana peel carelessly neglected on my way here, so I decided to throw it away because someone can slip and fall.
Oh, I see... what?
Yes.
Danda, Minamisanjo is out today.
-Is he sick? -No, he's taking his holiday break.
I see.
-Is that all, Danda? -Excuse me?
Don't you think your reaction was flat?
-Flat? -That's right. Be more
um... passionate?
I'm worried about Minamisanjo.
Why are you worried? We are granted yearly breaks.
It's great to take it as you please.
But what if he's suspended from work for wasting his yearly break...
-Hey! Too much yapping! -We're sorry.
Don't worry about Minami. It's just a break.
So don't spread weird rumors... especially in front of Chief Manabe.
Chief Manabe gets troubled because he thinks he's the cause of worry even when subordinates sigh and it's a pain.
-Who's a pain!? -Ah! Um, uh...
Well, it's a pain to argue with my ex-wife after the divorce.
And you were saying not to bicker over small things all the time.
Men should stand their ground!
Huh? Minamisanjo isn't here, huh?
Um... He wanted to take his break awhile back. Yes, awhile back.
Public servants shouldn't model themselves after blue collar workers by taking breaks punctually!
Anyway Chief, did you need something?
Ah, yes. The Ministry is holding a last minute meeting.
They're concerned with our treatment of reports, so can you summarize it for tomorrow?
-For tomorrow? -Yes!
-For the last 5 years, Mecha dog! -Woof, woof!
-Good job! -Woof!
You heard that? I'm counting on you.
-For the last 5 years? -By tomorrow?
But Minamisanjo isn't here, Mecha dog.
Woof, woof!
There's nothing we can do since he's on break! And since when did we start this Mecha dog gag...
Tanaka! What are you forcing me to say, damn you!
-I'm the Section Chief! -I'm sorry, Mecha dog.
-Woof, woof! Damn! -What's Mecha dog?
It's an old comic.
Excuse me, but is Minamisanjo here?
I'm sorry, but he has taken his yearly vacation.
-I see. -Are you in a rush?
Oh, no...
Actually, my son and Minamisanjo were high school classmates,
and I thought I'd just get some advice from him about work.
I see. I can assist you, if you'd like. Please.
Ah...
Did something happen at your son's job?
Actually my son...
My son is employed by a horrible company.
Can you tell me the name of this company?
It's a Mexican family chain of restaurants called "Adios"!
My son never comes home now ever since he worked there.
He always stays there until the morning.
Also he's constantly, training and training...
How long will this company force my son to work?
I was happy that my son finally found full time work.
But he's already worn out.
Chorizo and habanero pizza please.
Gracias! (Thanks!)
Hey, your voice is too low Oyamada!
Passage 7 of in-house regulations say, "Always be cheerful at work."
-I'm sorry. -Mi amigo! (My friend!)
Welcome, mi amigo!
Everyone, in this recession, [Work, Love, and Ambition - The Miracle of The Mexican Family Restaurant Chain, Adios]
I'd like to congratulate you on becoming full time employees.
I'm shop owner, Shimane. I'm looking forward to working with you.
Please take care of us!
Do you clearly understand the in-house regulations?
Yes, sir!
You will go through training if in-house regulations are violated.
You all understand this, right?
Yes, sir!
Now let's recite the company credo!
First, ambition over people!
Huh... There's more newcomers.
Because 3 people quit last month.
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
-And that's it for this week's reports. -Great!
Any other reports? Yes, Danda?
I'm sure you have something for this week, right?
There's always a new development, right? I've been anticipating it this time.
Yes, there's actually one case.
So there's actually one case that you want to raid?
Yes, sir!
Of course, there's one!
-What do you have your eye on this time? -Yes.
The Mexican Family Restaurant Chain, "Adios."
I had a consultation about the unfair long hours that are imposed on workers.
I went there with my family last Sunday. It was cheap and delicious!
This Adios always employs a lot of people, right?
They're always recruiting full time employees in wanted-ads,
and I feel it's because so many people are quitting.
I've actually been keeping an eye on this company too.
And what have you been seeing, Tanaka?
I actually read the new book by the president of Adios.
The title of the book is, "Work, Love, and Ambition."
Oh my, my, my... You haven't given up yet, eh?
That's impossible. Didn't I tell you that already?
Is your next dream, ambition?
-What's impossible? -Don't ask, Komiya.
Yes, giving up is very bad, but there's more!
Let's talk about work at this meeting.
Yes, with dignity.
The amount of pay compared to the long hours is definitely low based on the consultation.
It's also likely they're not getting paid for the large amount of training.
So this consultation about long hours was from an actual employee?
No, from an employee's mother. He told her, "I have to train to build my skills up."
And he hasn't complained once to the company.
What is this? Recently, young kids get their moms to do everything, even Minami.
Ah.
What was that, "Ah" just now?
I think he's rejecting your idea.
-He is rejecting. -It's a rejection.
No, I'm approving.
-What? -What's with the "what" huh?
Chief, is it okay to approve?
Let's turn this over to Danda in Minami's place.
Well, by all rights, when a concerned person
comes for a consultation, it's a good thing to live up to the taxpayer's expectations, right?
Thank you!
Great! Can we adjourn for today? Are you good, Danda?
-Yes, sir! -Let's adjourn!
-Tanaka, a word with you. -Yes, sir.
-Here. -What's this?
I have faith in you this time.
I think you'll be moved by my love.
-What is it? What is it? -What's inside?
No!
Danda, come with me for a sec.
Yes, sir.
Go check on Minami tonight.
Minamisanjo is currently on break.
Listen, I let your earlier suggestion go through this time.
Now it's your turn to repay.
So this is the reason for that "ah" earlier.
Why are you talking about repayment for approval of a raid?
Well, Danda Rin...
If you're that worried about Minamisanjo, why don't you go yourself?
Stop joking around. I'm busy!
If you don't go, then no one will.
Aren't you a little bit worried?
If that's all you have to say, I have work to do. Please excuse me.
Hey...
What a cold-hearted person...
Battle to become Danda Rin's trainer!
Rock, paper, scissors!
Sigh...
Let's go.
Ah... okay, okay, okay.
You know Danda...
-We're not doing overtime today, right? -What?
I just wanted to confirm since I'm temporarily training you.
I have to clean the tub and cook dinner tonight.
It's okay if you went home early, Onda.
No, no, no...
Thank you for waiting. I'm President Nanatomi.
-Please have a seat. -Thank you.
Thank you.
So, what brings you here today?
We're here to inquire about a company that you're running.
You can ask me anything.
How are employees organized since "Adios" is open 24 hours a day?
There's 3 shifts and they work 8 hour days.
Is that so?
Our office received a report of unfair work hours at "Adios." Do you know anything about that?
It's about that, right?
-My employees are all ambitious, so they independently train. -Independently train?
Yes, culinary training, safety and health training, English and Spanish training... There's many courses.
Are these hours for training, which are mandated by your company, counted as working hours?
No, this isn't mandated.
It's training by independent participation.
And what is the percentage of participation?
Roughly 100%.
100%?
Isn't that enforced participation? This isn't normal!
Because my employees are all very ambitious.
-However... -May I dare say
the real reason why you're here is because the government as usual is...
mass producing idiots?
-What? -I-Idiots?
The reason why Japan's economy is losing it's global competitiveness
is because they've stupidly implemented a pressure-free education system.
Like the right to take vacation and also to give wages away for that.
It's stupid to only talk about this.
But because the government is too soft,
Japan will become a company filled with idiots at this rate.
It's seems you do not want to engage in our talk.
I'm talking about the possibility of the unfair work hours here.
We're not the government, we're a private enterprise.
So if you say anything of no truth, it will bankrupt my company.
It would be nice if only ambitious and great people remained.
I'm fine with unambitious people quitting if they don't independently build on necessary skills.
I see.
And that's why you have a high turnover of hiring and quitting, right?
And what's the issue?
Is this all you needed?
I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Arggghhhh...
Danda, Danda... Let's do an inquiry another time.
Okay, Danda?
-It was Oyamada, right? -Yes.
Okay.
Are you serious? You're declining the culinary training?
I'm sorry.
I'm really exhausted...
And I worked from 2AM
then stayed at the shop, and it's a bit too much to train at 7AM...
Stupid. No one gets any sleep.
Also do you understand what it means to not accept training?
-It means you lack ambition! -I'm sorry.
I have a manager's meeting soon.
I have to report on sales
and also on training participation, too.
Do you want me to say that you've declined training?
You know that the president strictly checks on this.
That's right. If I take a break, that will happen.
Get a hold of yourself. You already went through the trouble of being a full time employee.
Ah!
-Excuse me... -Ah...
Who are you?
I'm Labor Standards Inspector, Danda Rin.
I'm Onda.
I've just heard a lot of things of interest accidentally,
so can I ask you to explain in a bit more detail?
Like about the lack of participation in training or about the manager's meeting.
How about I contact the PR manager at the main office if you're inquiring about the company?
Hey, wait.
Is it an issue if I asked you these things?
No, it's not. It's because we're busy with work.
Sorry, excuse me.
-Wait... -Oyamada!
Let's continue tomorrow?
Danda? Danda, Danda.
-Onda. -Yes?
There's still 3 more Adios shops in this neighborhood, right?
I have an important errand of fixing dinner for my family today.
Please go ahead and go home.
-Oh, are you mad? -Good work.
Sigh...
Was Minamisanjo consistently with her like this?
I understand this Danda Stress now!
Ah, thank you...
I thought you were going to assault him again.
No, don't be absurd.
My last job was closeby.
I was just wondering if I could see um... Minami... Minamisanjo...
You're just like his elementary school teacher. That's great!
Ah, Minami... Where's Minamisanjo?
Ah, I'm sorry. Kazuya isn't here today.
Not here?
He went on a trip by himself.
Ah, is that so...
Yes.
That's what he told me to tell anyone who came here.
-What? -Yes.
So, is it out on a trip? Or not?
He went on a trip.
A trip within the heart.
Kazuya.
Section Chief Doteyama is here.
But I told him what you told me.
Hey, do you remember Oyamada from high school?
Section Chief Doteyama told me to tell you that Oyamada's mother went to the office for a consultation.
He went out of his way, so I'm wondering if it was a really important consultation...
Kazuya, if it's okay,
-I wonder if you should call Oyamada... -Mom!
Can you be quiet for a bit?
Oh, I'm sorry. Was I noisy?
I want to think in peace.
I got it. Then I won't say a thing!
Oh, but are you really not going to eat dinner? Do you want coffee?
Two taco sets, right?
-Gracias! -Gracias!
Two taco sets, please.
Oh no!
Oyamada!
Are you okay? Oyamada! Hey! Oyamada!
Is Minamisanjo still on break?
I received another call from his mother asking for a break today.
Komiya, let's battle to train Danda.
Yes, this is the West Tokyo Labor Standards Inspection Office.
Yes. Oh, Tanaka.
Good morning.
Yes? Okay, please wait so I can talk to the Section Chief.
Section Chief, Tanaka isn't feeling well and would like to take a day off.
Him too?! Damn Tanaka. Hey, Komiya, get it.
What? Me?
We have lots of work, so pick up now.
Komiya just persuade him.
Here.
-Hello, Tanaka? -Oh, Komiya.
Are you not feeling well?
I'm lonely when you're not here.
Don't take a day off and come to work.
I'll be waiting then.
Ah, it's Tanaka. Get it Komiya.
Yes, this is the West Tokyo Labor Standards Inspection Office.
Yes... Yes, please wait.
Danda, you have a call from a Oyamada.
Okay.
Yes, this is Danda.
What?
Why are you visiting him at this time!
Mr. Shimane, does your company want to kill my son?
-Please leave. -Ma'am, you've misunderstood.
The company did not force him to work like this...
My son has come home to sleep only two times this week!
Your son has volunteered his time outside of his shift...
Volunteered? You said volunteered?
Please take a look at my son! Does it look like he volunteered?!
-Volunteered? -No, your son...
Build your skills up and aim to be shop manager!
You'll do your best to train a lot for this, right?
Yes, sir!
Oyamada, your shift tomorrow is in the afternoon, right?
How about taking culinary training at 9PM?
Oh... okay.
Here's a language textbook for training.
Don't you want to be grateful by accepting company responsibility?
Um, where do I study this?
At home, of course.
What?
Why does he have to cut away from his sleep in order to train?
It was Oyamada's free will to participate in the training.
Well, if you'll excuse me for today.
Please investigate by asking Oyamada questions.
Huh?
Excuse me for one second, Mr. Manager.
Mr. Shimane!
-Yes? -I'd like to talk.
I only have 10 minutes.
Okay.
My company will drastically downgrade me if I'm late by sending me to training.
It's a violation of in-house regulation passage 1, "Time is money, Adhere to time."
You weren't instructed by the company to come visit Oyamada?
My company would never instruct me to do such a thing.
They employ in bulk, impose strict training,
and they're okay if people who don't go along with it, quit.
Even I can't get accustomed to how this company does things.
And there's no way I can change occupations anywhere this year.
So like a farm dog, I do my job of herding the sheep everyday.
But the president told me there's training because his employees are ambitious.
They're forced to work normally during work hours,
but they need to take training after work is done,
and there's times I don't know whether it's helpful or harmful.
And was it harmful for Oyamada?
He needs to overcome this.
Because he's a full time employee.
Does that mean the high number of hires need to be obedient to survive?
Will you cooperate with the investigation if you think Adios is in the wrong right now?
There's no other way for the rest of the company employees.
If the president says a black crow is white, then its white!
If you don't like it, then your only choice is to quit!
I'm sorry for raising my voice.
Mr. Shimane.
Even if everyone on this earth says its white,
a crow is definitely black!
It's useless no matter how hard I try.
The way the president does things is very clever.
Another district branch has had many investigations by the Labor Dept up until now.
But they were unable to come up with any advised corrections.
May I ask why?
Please tell me.
Hello?
Oh, Minami? It's me, Oyamada.
It's Minamisanjo.
Pft.
What's up?
I heard your mom came to my office,
but I'm sorry, I'm taking a break.
What? You're taking a break too?
What do you mean?
Oh... I'm taking an emergency break.
I somehow snapped and collapsed, so I'm taking a break.
Oh...
I'm useless.
I don't know how I can go back.
I sort of know that feeling.
I'm sorry, I don't really have a reason for calling you,
-but I thought I'd call you. -No, it's fine.
What will I do with myself now?
Should I tell you what I think as a Labor Standards Inspector?
What is that?
You should quit if you hate the company.
I would quit if I could.
But reality isn't as easy as that.
You can't see what's ahead of you either.
That's what's wrong with the Japanese. They cling obediently to a company.
Government officials wouldn't know.
I have no confidence in government officials.
What do you mean?
Well, never mind.
-Thanks. -Yeah.
Good work.
Oh, Tanaka!
-Do you feel better? -Yes, it seems that way.
Great.
Thanks to you Komiya... You're really...
Tanaka! Don't mess around. What's with this sick business?!
It was definitely the right thing to give the phone to Komiya. We got you here.
What?!
-It's not a time to grant breaks simultaneously to 2 of you during a busy time like this! Geez. -What?
So that call from Komiya was an order from the Section Chief...?
Crap!
-We're back. -Welcome back.
Ah, Tanaka. You're feeling better?
What? Huh?
That was harsh to get a call from Komiya directed by the Section Chief.
It's 100 times harsher with my Danda Stress.
Alright! Meeting, meeting!
Yes, sir!
What?!
The other office bombarded them countless times?
That Miru Masukarasu... Dos Karasu?
Mexican Family Restaurant Chain, Adios.
But if another office was unable to pin a specific violation,
then it's useless even if we did our best.
So how will we attack them then?
-Yes! -Go ahead.
Unpaid overtime.
No, they are paid overtime based on documented work times.
-Yes. -Go ahead.
Unpaid wages based on training hours.
No, you can't pay wages if the training is voluntary.
-Onda! -Yes, yes, yes...
President Nanatomi is extremely clever.
We've captured the current training guide at Adios,
and written right here in big letters is "Participate Independently."
That's evidence that protects the company.
That's correct.
However, when employees do participate,
they are forced to sign a document saying they're participating out of free will.
And each shop manager verbally coerces each employee to train.
The president ordered them to not use email, do not document, and to do it all verbally.
The shop manager of the store in front of the West Tokyo station told me this.
In other words, even if we attack them there,
it'll be a pointless argument of he said, she said and we can't even corner the president either.
Correct.
So the other offices were unable to charge them with nothing?
What a cunning president.
However, there's this...
-Danda! -Yes.
I got it.
-I got it! -Chief Manabe.
In short, it means that, right?
If no other office can do it...
that means our office can't either.
What the heck...
-Incorrect! -Oh, excuse me.
We will attack them with a different method compared to other offices.
A different method?
It's pointless to attack the president.
It's also pointless to attack victims and employees.
That's why we will...
infiltrate from the inside!
-From the inside? -Yes.
We've already talked to each shop manager of Adios.
Oh...
Please help us.
I'd like to inquire about the shop manager of the national Adios...
-Even if you want to, I can't... -Please!
Please!
I've visited each shop and asked each shop manager.
Please!
You can't do it? Can you somehow...
Please, it will only be for a bit.
Please.
I understand.
What do you want from me?
Have you been to a shop manager meeting?
Employees were all viewed and recommended in the shop manager meetings, right?
It was public and you freely participated.
I didn't go.
I don't plan on going back to that company.
You're running away and they'll say, "He just lacks ambition."
And they'll toss you out with it ending like that.
Doesn't that trouble you?
Why are you telling me this?
Don't Labor Inspectors think, "Quit if you hate the company"?
My friend who is an inspector told me this.
These kinds of inspectors...
are despicable!
Oh my! Come in, come in!
Ah, ma'am! Can I knock this down?
Yes, please by all means.
Alright Tanaka, go!
Hey, wait a minute! I'm opening it now!
-W-Wait, wait! -One, two...!
Whoa! It hurts!
You were here all along!
-Hey, the lights! -W-What is this?
Damn you. Looking innocent while taking breaks whenever you want.
Hey! Everyone here has something to tell you!
-Clean out your ears and listen, you acorn head! -What?
Minamisanjo! I'm begging you please come back now.
When you're not there,
I'm forced to train Danda!
Minamisanjo, please come back now!
When you're not there, there's no flowers at work and it's lonely!
-Tanaka! -Minamisanjo.
Even though your break was easily approved,
all I got for mine was yelling from the Section Chief and it was over.
-Isn't that unfair!? -Shut up!
Oh? Hm? Uh?
-What? Who were you looking for? -No one.
We actually have a message from Danda, too.
Hey, sit. Sit, sit!
-Yes, sir. -Sit.
Hm, let's see now...
"Tomorrow the Mexican Family Restaurant Chain, Adios, is holding their shop manager meeting."
Coincidentally, Adios is the company where your friend, Oyamada, worked at.
"We will raid this meeting."
"If there's any piece of you that's still an inspector, please come to work because we'll need all hands on deck for the raid."
"Danda Rin."
It's just like Danda to express her love in such a rebellious way.
What is this?
-Onda. -Yes?
Ah!
What snacks should I make?
-Is it okay? -I'll help you!
I'll have some too!
Hey, Onda, Onda!
-You're fine for today. Go. -Understood.
Ma'am! Ma'am!
I will say one last thing as well.
You being on break has...
made Danda somewhat mad.
Got it?
Ambition is our sole weapon!
Send away those that lack ambition!
If training results are driven upwards,
we can grow our sales.
Your ambition...
is to contribute to the company. Don't forget that!
Alright.
Section Chief, it's time.
Alright.
Is it really okay to march into this meeting hall?
It's okay. Believe me.
-Alright, let's go. -Yes, sir.
Ah, it's Minamisanjo!
I'm glad you came.
-Oh, you came! -We've been waiting.
I heard you were shorthanded.
Hm? Were you worried, Danda?
You saw, Minami?
Let's go.
Oh, you're in sync.
Whoa! There's lots, lots!
What are you doing? Go! Hey, Danda! Go!
-Yes, sir! -Ready, set, go.
Everyone please stay as you are!
We're from the West Tokyo Labor Standards Inspection Office.
A raid is occurring right now.
-This is a raid! -Don't move!
-This is a raid. -Don't move! -It's a raid.
-This is a raid. Please don't move. -It's a raid.
-Don't move, it's a raid. -This is a raid.
What kind of harassment is this?
Aren't raids normally performed at the shop or the main office?
This place was documented as the most convenient based on what we found out from the shops and main office.
Also all of the shop managers are here,
including all of your employees, so this location was decided as most appropriate for a raid.
I will sue for vicious interference of business.
In order to build the skills of your employees,
you recommend all of them to train, right?
I do recommend it, but they independently participate.
We know that.
Training to obtain a necessary skill related to work
which is ordered by the company... those who participate should be paid for their hours of training.
Don't you think they should be paid?
Our training is...
done during the employee's free time and free will,
and they take each one because they're ambitious.
It is unnecessary to pay wages at my company for training.
You personally started writing in-house regulations at your company,
and those that violated these regulations were recommending the less skilled to go into training.
Isn't that the facts?
That is the truth, but participating in training
is up to the individual.
But that doesn't mean you'll coerce someone if they don't intend to participate, right?
Of course, not.
I'm a man that always respects his employee's intent.
I see. You will always respect your employee's intent.
Now, can we end this?
Mr. President!
I forgot to inform a customer in a loud voice last week.
This is a violation of in-house regulation passage 7, "Always be cheerful during work hours."
What are you saying, Shimane?
I'm sorry for my lack of skills.
Please let me take training.
-What? -Mr. President!
I also took a deep breath during work hours at work.
Based on in-house regulation passage 11,
this is a violation for, "Refrain from bringing the mood down while at work." I wish to go to training!
Mr. President!
I yelled at a subordinate during work hours.
Based on in-house regulation passage 3, "Do not disturb the peace at work,"
this is a violation! I also wish to go into training!
Mr. President, I've also committed a violation!
-Please let me train! -Please let me train!
-I've committed a violation! -Please let me train!
President Nanatomi.
We spoke to all 30 shop managers of Adios.
If you don't change your management policies,
everyone here will be absent from each of your stores,
and will participate in training of their own free will.
Stop this madness! If they do that, my shops can't function!
But this is the shop managers' will.
It's your favorite word, "free will."
I told you to take training outside of work hours!
Is this a command?
If you're commanding them to train, you need to pay them.
Mr. President.
I apologize.
We apologize!
Mr. President, we shop managers,
worry about the young kids.
We don't want to harm them.
We know it's important to build skills.
But we want to nurture them more importantly.
What will you do now, President Nanatomi?
All shop managers from all 30 shops will freely go into training,
so will you be okay with your shops not functioning?
Or...
will you officially approve mandated training?
Training is...
mandated.
Now it is your duty to pay for these wages.
Everyone, there's one thing I want to say.
"It's okay to quit if you hate the company."
There's people that often say this.
Or...
"Endure it or quit the company? These are the only two choices for an employee."
Some say this, too!
But this is wrong.
There's actually three choices!
I will tell you this one thing...
you have a choice to change your company with your own hands for the better!
Labor Standards Act Section 1, Passage 1
"Working conditions need to be worthy for an employee to carry on with life
and it should fulfill the basic necessities!"
Minamisanjo, continue.
What?
Please!
"Those connected to these laborers
with this basis as a reason, should make an effort to improve the declining working conditions."
This time with each shop manager's courage
you've improved your company as a whole.
Well, President Nanatomi.
We will calculate the estimated payments for everyone.
This way.
W-Wait...
We can't all fit, so you and Minami go home by train.
-Yes, sir. -Okay.
Good job!
Three huh...
Let's depart!
Are you okay? You didn't correct him by saying, "It's Minamisanjo."
Oh... yeah.
I give up.
What do you mean?
You don't show any mercy.
You think so?
How can I become strong like you?
-I'm not strong. -No, you're strong.
I'm not strong.
If you say you're strong,
then no matter where a person looks at you, they won't think so.
Well, let's go.
She has no mercy.
-Come in. -Pardon me.
So?
Are you interested in joining us?
Sorry for the intrusion.
Does that mean you know the answer?
If you tell people around the world that 200 yen
is worthless, then it is not money.
But if you tell people an apple is not an apple, it's still an apple.
In other words, other people are concerned about money.
But in order for me to advance, it's the apple.
That's why an apple is better.
Good job.
I actually cheated.
I received a hint from Danda.
I see.
It's harsh to be seen as a novice.
But I was thoroughly beat
and I've come through on the contrary.
You look good.
Thank you.
Come back if you quit.
If you'll excuse me now.
I'll see you out.
Sorry to trouble you.
-Thanks for coming. -No problem.
Hello.
You're Kurumizawa of Aibou Social Insurance, right?
Yes, I am.
I have something that will be of great interest to you.
"Over the mountains, far to travel
people say, Happiness dwells."
"Alas, and I went in the crowd of the others,
and returned with a tear-stained face."
