斎藤前兵庫県知事はパワハラしていない？

Publisher’s rating: 根拠不明

The review finds the claim unsupported. In a survey of Hyogo prefectural employees, 140 responses said they had directly witnessed or experienced harassment, and 2,851 responses reported direct or indirect knowledge; Saito also acknowledged severe reprimands and hitting a desk. The review notes that whether conduct constitutes harassment depends on the relevant criteria, not solely on Saito’s view that his actions were necessary instruction.
