SYNOPSIS
Yoshī Emiri is a new employee at Teito Trading Company. She wanted to work in the Textile Division, but she was assigned in the General Affairs Division. Emiri has to do everything and anything as a General Affairs staff member, from unclogging toilets to looking for lost things to catching insects that get inside the office.
Emiri has a difficult time at work where she has to contend with colleagues and superiors who harass her because she's female, young, and inexperienced. She tries to cope with the situation as best as she can, but Emiri at times can't stay silent...
REVIEW
Age Harassment is an interesting drama about all kinds of harassment that one may encounter in society in general and in a professional setting in particular. The drama talks about sexual harassment, power harassment, age harassment, moral harassment, etc.
Age harassment is aggressive pressure or intimidation brought about by one's age. It can be somewhat subtle, such as when newbies in the workplace are ridiculed for being young and for not knowing anything. It can also be very overt, such as when older colleagues are derided for not being technologically adept and for being behind the times.
I think most people who work should consider watching this drama, especially working women whatever their age. They can see how the characters encounter harassment in the workplace, and they can see how these characters react given the situation.
