Support for Ukraine and Changes in Business --- War and Power Harassment
The beginning of the war changed the lives of Ukrainians and Russians living in Japan. For ordinary Japanese people, it is difficult to distinguish between Ukrainians and Russians. If a Ukrainian speaks Russian, some companies may try to get him to work in Russia-oriented business. But now that the war has started, it can hurt them.
It is said that there are six types of power harassment. They are physical aggression, mental aggression, detachment, over-demanding, under-demanding, and privacy infringement.
Violence and abusive language are clearly seen as power harassment in the eyes of those around you. However, even if the words are calm and seem to be normal business instructions from the eyes of those around you, it can be power harassment. Especially when it comes to detachment of human relationships, over-demanding, under-demanding, and privacy infringement, it seems that whether or not the recipient feels power harassment varies greatly depending on the person.
With the start of the war, both Ukrainians and Russians living in Japan have been driven into a difficult situation mentally. Talking to them about the war, talking about Ukrainian-Russian relations, or simply directing them to work as they did before the war can hurt them. In some cases, they may perceive it as power harassment.
Some of them have roots in both Ukraine and Russia. I have relatives and close friends in Russia, and I have relatives and close friends in Ukraine. How do these people feel about this war? If you say that Russia is bad, you may have to cut ties with your relatives and close friends who live in Russia. However, if you say that Russia is right and Ukraine is wrong, you may break off relations with your Ukrainian relatives and close friends. Ambiguous positions in war are frowned upon. But no matter which side they take, their relationship will be severed.
If they can speak Russian, they will be placed in a department for Russia and have them do the work for Russia. As a business, it makes sense. But in a war situation, letting Ukrainians do jobs for Russia just because they can speak Russian might hurt their feelings. Even jobs that were easy to do before the war can become very painful after the war begins.
The development of the Internet has also brought about major changes in the way private sector support should be. Since the beginning of the war, Ukrainians who are knowledgeable about IT and good at information dissemination have been disseminating various information. Some Japanese support organizations are able to communicate with them, grasp information on where and what kind of support is needed, and realize real-time support. An unprecedented initiative has begun to deliver the necessary support to those who need it in real time.
