  Japan court awards compensation for man bullied to death

  TOKYO: A Japanese court in a first-of-a-kind decision has awarded workers' compensation to the family of a man who hanged himself after being constantly harassed by his boss.
  
  Japanese offices, although they are gradually becoming more relaxed, are known for rigid hierarchies, with bosses often meting out stinging criticism of subordinates.
  
  The Tokyo District Court on Monday awarded workers' compensation to the widow of a salesman for the Nikken pharmaceutical company, then 35, who committed suicide after constant verbal abuse by his boss.
  
  It was the first case in Japan in which a court ordered the government to pay compensation to the family of a worker who died solely due to a superior's harassment, the plaintiff's lawyer said.
  
  The man, in a letter left before his death, said his boss had constantly insulted him for several months.
  
  According to the letter, the abuse included his boss telling him, "Your very existence gets on the nerves", "You are an annoyance to everyone", "I can't believe you found a wife who married you", and "Just go and disappear".
  
  The superior also allegedly degraded the man at the company's year-end party, telling him: "You are so filthy with your back covered in dandruff. Are you sure you don't have a disease?"
  
  The man went into depression and hanged himself in March 2003.
  
  The widow's lawyer hailed the ruling.
  
  "Japan has established legal enforcement to fight sexual harassment, but neglected almost all the cases of verbal abuse and harassment from a boss against a subordinate," lawyer Hiroshi Kawahito said after the ruling.
  
  The court order sends the case back to the government labour office, which first rejected compensation but now has to come up with a figure.

  yes they make plenty of leica mount lenses
  
  expensive, but not nearly as expensive as the leicas
  
  their new f-mount lenses for nikon are to me horrendously overpriced too
