Scraping & Negative Positive Analysis of Bunshun Online Articles

At the beginning

My name is Kei @ airget0919. I am a machine learning engineer in Tokyo. I am writing this article thinking that I may be able to output some practical skills. This time, as a preliminary step to implement natural language processing, I will acquire articles from the Internet and perform a simple analysis.

Tech word

What is scraping?

You can get various information on the net by using scraping. This time I'm using Python code to get the article. Use BeautifulSoup etc. to specify HTML or CSS information and extract the information.

About negative / positive analysis

Let's quantify whether the content of the article is negative or positive based on the Word Emotion Polarity Correspondence Table. I think. The word emotion polarity correspondence table defines the negative / positive degree for a word as -1 to 1.

Joy: Joy: Noun: 0.998861 Severe: Severe: Adjective: -0.999755

Etc.

References

For scraping, I used udemy course. For negative / positive analysis, I referred to this article. In addition, the subject of this analysis was Bungei Online.

Workflow

1. Scraping
2. Read "Word Emotion Polarity Correspondence Table"
3. Morphological analysis
4. Negative / positive analysis

Let's start the work according to the above. Let's start by importing the required libraries.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import re
import itertools
import pandas as pd, numpy as np
import os
import glob
import pathlib
import re
import janome
import jaconv
from janome.tokenizer import Tokenizer
from janome.analyzer import Analyzer
from janome.charfilter import *

Scraping

First, prepare for scraping. Get the URL and apply requests and BeautifulSoup.

url = "https://bunshun.jp/" #Store Bunshun online link in url
res = requests.get(url) # requests.get()Store url in res using
soup = BeautifulSoup(res.text, "html.parser") #Now you are ready for scraping with Beautiful Soup.

Get the article list and get the title and URL

Basically, articles are lined up as li elements, and the parent element is ʻul` in many patterns. I'm using the for statement to get the title and URL from the article list.

elems = soup.select("ul") #Since the list of articles was lined up as a li element, its parent element, ul, is specified.
title_list = [] #List to store article titles
url_list = [] #List to store article URLs
for sibling in elems[3]: # elems[3]I had a list I wanted. This for minute gets the article title and URL from the article list and stores them in the list respectively.
    if sibling != "\n": #Excluded because line breaks were included
        print(sibling.h3.string) #The title was in the h3 tag.
        title_list.append(sibling.h3.string.replace('\u3000', ' ')) # \Since there was a part containing u3000, it was converted to blank
        print(url + sibling.h3.a["href"]) #The link was stored in the href attribute of the a tag.
        url_list.append(url + sibling.h3.a["href"]) #The part below the url obtained above was stored, so I added it.

Get multi-page links

In order to create a link list, create a while statement and get the URL if there is a link to the next page and transition to the page, and if the transitioned page also has a link to the next page, get it Turn the loop of transition. If there is no link on the next page, it will move to the next article. By doing this, you can get the links of all pages of all articles in list format.

news_list = [] #Links to all news articles are stored here.
for pickup_link in url_list: #This for statement retrieves the URL from the URL list.
    news = [] #Since news articles are separated by page, we will include a link for each page in this list.
    news.append(pickup_link) #Store the first link
    pickup_res = requests.get(pickup_link) # requests.get()Get the page from the link using
    pickup_soup = BeautifulSoup(pickup_res.text, "html.parser") #Apply Beautiful Soup
    while True: #In this while statement, if there is a link to the next page, that link is acquired and the loop is routed to that page.
        try: #If there is a link to the next page at the transition destination, this loop will be repeated forever.
            next_link = pickup_soup.find("a", class_="next menu-link ga_tracking")["href"] # next menu-link ga_The href attribute of the a tag with the class tracking was the link to the next page.
            next_link = url + next_link
            next_res = requests.get(next_link) # requests.get()And BeautifulSoup are used to get the page information of the transition destination.
            pickup_soup = BeautifulSoup(next_res.text, "html.parser")
            news.append(next_link) #Add each page information to news.
        except Exception: #If there is no link to the next page, this process will be performed.
            news_list.append(news) #The URL of all the articles in the title is stored in news, so news_Store in list.
            break
display(news_list) #Display the created URL list.

Get the content of the article

Now that you have created the URL list with the code above, follow the link to get the article body. I can get only the text by applying .text, but I am applying .text by turning the for statement in detail. Therefore, I created a list that stores the text while creating and storing some empty characters (or empty list).

news_page_list = [] #The text of all articles is stored here.
for news_links in news_list: #This for statement retrieves a linked list of a title from the list of URLs.
    news_page = '' #We will add the text obtained from each page here.
    for news_link in news_links: #Extract the links one by one from the link list in the title.
        news_res = requests.get(news_link) # requests.get()And use Beautiful Soup to get article information.
        news_soup = BeautifulSoup(news_res.text, "html.parser") 
        news_soup = news_soup.find(class_=re.compile("article-body")).find_all("p") # article-The body was stored in the p tag directly under the tag with id body.
        news_phrase = '' #Stores the phrase in the body of the page
        for news in news_soup: #I was able to get only the body phrase by applying text by turning it with a for statement.
            news_phrase += news.text.replace('\u3000', ' ') #Add the acquired phrase. Because it is a character string+I was able to add it with.
        news_page += news_phrase #If you can get one page of phrases, new_Add to page
    news_page_list.append(news_page) #All text for one title is new_news when stored on page_page_Added to list. Since this is a list type, use append.

for i in range(1, 4): #Let's display a part of the acquired text. It seems that I was able to get it successfully.

<1> Mitsui Home continues to be selected as a "land utilization partner" by many land owners. Through interviews with the company's sales staff, who are professionals in land utilization, this project will reveal the reasons why Mitsui Home is selected as a partner. This time, we will introduce an example of rebuilding a vast home site of about 1,200 m2 in Fuchu City, Tokyo, into a total of two buildings: a clinic + rental housing + home and a nursery school. We spoke with Toshito Nishijima, the head of the Tokyo West Area Sales Group, Tokyo Consulting Sales Department, who was in charge of this matter. About a 5-minute walk from the nearest station on the Keio Line, which extends west from the city center, was the home of the landowner, who had continued since before the war. The site area is approximately 1,200 m2. The 50-year-old home was aging and had to be considered for rebuilding. The owner in his 70s is a family of landowners who have continued to this area for generations, and own multiple rental condominiums around their homes. The beginning of this project was to make effective use of the vast site of about 1,200 m2, taking advantage of the rebuilding of a dilapidated home that was about 50 years old. It was early 2018 that the bank brought us a consultation. First, I met the owner with a plan of home + rental housing. Then oh

<2> Watami Co., Ltd. continues to be charged with labor issues. On October 2, the director of the "Watami's Home Meal" sales office announced a series of recommendations from the Labor Standards Inspection Office to correct unpaid overtime, long working hours exceeding 175 hours a month, and falsification of time cards by bosses. It is. Overtime work of 175 hours a month due to "white company" promotion Watami's correction recommendation from the Labor Bureau due to unpaid overtime fee Why did Watami not become a white company? As for the attendance "tampering" system, Mr. A lost his sense of day and night after working long hours, and even lived with fear that he would not wake up if he slept as it was. "If I worked as it was, I would have died," A asserts. Currently, he has a mental illness and is on leave while applying for an industrial accident. However, why did Mr. A continue to work hard while feeling the danger of his life? Behind this was Watami's system of "idea education" that worked on the consciousness of workers and made them accept harsh labor. "I'm doing such a good job, so I'll do my best even if it's painful." "It's not painful even if it's painful. Rather, it helps me." Mr. A told himself during overwork. In fact, A

<3> "Regulatory reform" "Administrative reform" "Vertical breakthrough". After the inauguration of Yoshihide Suga's administration, the word "reform" came to be heard well. At the inaugural press conference on September 16, Prime Minister Suga declared that "regulatory reform will be in the middle of the administration." How will Japan change as a result of this "reform"? Toru Hashimoto, who has a close relationship with Prime Minister Suga, talked about the goals of the Suga administration's "reform" in an interview with the November issue of "Bungeishunju." From his own experience, Mr. Hashimoto says that it is important to have a sense of "funny" in order to proceed with "reform." "For" reforming power, "it is extremely important to always keep an antenna on things around you, and if you feel that this is strange, immediately say it. Then, fix it each time. Even when I was the governor / mayor, it was a series of such tasks. For example, when I got in a public car, five newspapers were quickly inserted into the magazine rack. By the time I arrived at the government building. It's nice because you can check the news, but when you enter the governor's office, 5 papers are on the desk, and when you go to the governor's reception room, 5 papers again ... Isn't it? "" What's going on, this new

Put together the data

The information obtained by scraping up to now is stored in one DataFrame. This not only makes the data easier to see, but also easier to handle. If possible, all you have to do is process the data and perform negative / positive analysis!

new_no_list = [x for x in range(len(title_list))] #News No. I will use it later.Create
newslist = np.array([new_no_list, title_list, url_list, news_page_list]).T #Np in preparation for storage in DataFrame.Store it in the array list and transpose it.
newslist = pd.DataFrame(newslist, columns=['News No.', 'title', 'url', 'news_page_list']) #Store in DataFrame by specifying the column name
newslist = newslist.astype({'News No.':'int64'}) # あとでテーブルを結合するためにNews No.To int64 type
display(newslist)

Reading "Word Emotion Polarity Correspondence Table"

Use the "Word Emotion Polarity Correspondence Table" as the negative / positive judgment criteria. Download it to your working directory in advance. Prepare this "Word Emotion Polarity Correspondence Table" into a form for use in analysis.

p_dic = pathlib.Path('/work/dic') #Pass the path to the dic folder in the work directory. The file of "Word Emotion Polarity Correspondence Table" is placed here.

for i in p_dic.glob('*.txt'): #Find the file in question.
    with open (i, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        x = [i.replace('\n', '').split(':') for i in f.readlines()] #Read line by line.
        
posi_nega_df = pd.DataFrame(x, columns = ['Uninflected word', 'reading', 'Part of speech', 'Score']) # reading込んだデータをDataFrameに格納します。
posi_nega_df['reading'] = posi_nega_df['reading'].apply(lambda x : jaconv.hira2kata(x)) #Convert Hiragana to Katakana(同じreadingのものが含まれており、重複を無くす為のようです。)
posi_nega_df = posi_nega_df[~posi_nega_df[['Uninflected word', 'reading', 'Part of speech']].duplicated()] #Remove duplicates.
posi_nega_df.head()

Morphological analysis

Morphological analysis of the article text is made into a form that can be used for analysis. Use Tokenizer () and ʻUnicodeNormalizeCharFilter ()` for morphological analysis. Extract words, uninflected words, part of speech, and readings and store them in a DataFrame. Then, merge the article DataFrame with the "Word Emotion Polarity Correspondence Table" to score the words contained in the article. The table is shown below. The word "popular" has a high score and was judged to be a positive word. Why did the other words get that score? There is also something like that, but let's proceed without worrying about it.

i = 0 #This i is news No.It is used when acquiring.

t = Tokenizer()
char_filters = [UnicodeNormalizeCharFilter()]
analyzer = Analyzer(char_filters=char_filters, tokenizer=t)

word_lists = []
for i, row in newslist.iterrows(): #Increase i one by one News No.will do.
    for t in analyzer.analyze(row[3]): #The text is stored in the third column of the extracted label.
        surf = t.surface #word
        base = t.base_form #Uninflected word
        pos = t.part_of_speech #Part of speech
        reading = t.reading #reading
        
        word_lists.append([i, surf, base, pos, reading]) # word_Add to lists
word_df = pd.DataFrame(word_lists, columns=['News No.', 'word', 'Uninflected word', 'Part of speech', 'reading'])
word_df['Part of speech'] = word_df['Part of speech'].apply(lambda x : x.split(',')[0]) # Part of speechは複数格納されるが最初の1つのみ利用
display(word_df.head(10)) #Display the created text table
print("↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ Merge with word emotion polarity correspondence table ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓")
score_result = pd.merge(word_df, posi_nega_df, on=['Uninflected word', 'Part of speech', 'reading'], how='left') #Merge text table and word emotion polarity correspondence table
display(score_result.head(10)) #Display the created score table. I understand that the score of the word "popularity" is high, but the others are subtle ...

Negative / positive analysis

Evaluate the negative / positive degree of the entire article using the table created earlier.

result = []
for i in range(len(score_result['News No.'].unique())): # News No.Use to turn the for statement.
    temp_df = score_result[score_result['News No.']== i]
    text = ''.join(list(temp_df['word'])) # 1タイトル内の全てのwordをつなげる。
    score = temp_df['Score'].astype(float).sum() # 1タイトル内のScoreを全て足し合わせる。➡︎累計Score
    score_r = score/temp_df['Score'].astype(float).count() # 本文の長さに影響されないように単語数で割り算する。➡︎標準化Score
    result.append([i, text, score, score_r])

ranking = pd.DataFrame(result, columns=['News No.', 'text', 'Cumulative score', 'Standardized score']).sort_values(by='Standardized score', ascending=False).reset_index(drop=True) # Standardized scoreで並び替えてDataFrameに格納

Family ramen "Goodwill War" "Yoshimuraya vs. Rokkakuya" Betrayal and succumbing black history https://bunshun.jp//articles/-/40752 "Although" Rokkakuya "went bankrupt, the number of stores of" Iekei Ramen "as a genre is expanding year by year, and now is the peak. The background is the rise of" capital ". It's true that the capital system is delicious, but the news of bankruptcy was the time when the craftsmen of the "Rokkaku family" and "Yoshimura family" tried to improve the taste every day, worked hard, and competed for each other's victory. Now that I hear it, it looks strangely nostalgic and shining. ”(Ramen critic Takeshi Yamamoto) (Read the first part,“ Why did the prestigious “Iekei Ramen” go bankrupt? ”) September 4, 2020, It was reported that the well-established store "Rokkakuya", which was once called "a synonym" for Iekei Ramen and was predominant in the world, has received a decision to start bankruptcy proceedings from the Yokohama District Court. Many fans thought that the bankruptcy was a matter of time when the main store of "Rokkakuya" was closed in 2017, but when this news came out, there were voices regretting the bankruptcy, such as "Is it serious?" "I wanted to eat again." Has risen a lot on the net. And, like Mr. Yamamoto at the beginning, there are voices re-evaluating the role that the "Rokkaku family" has played in the prosperity of the "Iekei Ramen" industry. "In the first place, Iekei Ramen was born in 1974. A combination of Kyushu's pork bone base and Tokyo's soy sauce base, which Mr. Minoru Yoshimura, a long-distance truck driver, had been secretly researching as a hobby between work. Mr. Yoshimura decided that he could enjoy this taste, and then quit the company and opened a ramen shop called "Yoshimuraya" in Shinsugita, Isoko-ku, Tokyo. Based on pork bone soy sauce. The combination of the flavorful soup and the thick noodles of "Sakai Seimen" was very popular as he read, and the shop was crowded with many customers every day. Many talents gathered at the "Yoshimura family". Then, the disciples who trained under Mr. Yoshimura came to have their own shops in the form of "noren division" when they learned the skills directly from Mr. Yoshimura, and the shops of the disciples are also in each area. It has become a very popular store. Independent disciples often added "~ family" to the store name, so among fans, "Yoshimuraya" and the store independent from it came to be called "family". Currently, only the stores that received the certificate of "Iekei Ramen" from Mr. Yoshimura are recognized as "direct stores" of the Yoshimura family. "(Ramen explorer Kazuaki Tanaka) The direct stores have some characteristics. .. First of all, the noodles must be noodles that are wholesaled from a noodle factory called Sakai Noodle Factory. The connection is so tight that it is said that "Iekei Ramen is Sakai noodles", and Sakai noodles have a unique texture that is medium-thick and chewy. Another feature is that the noodles are boiled in a small barrel and scooped up with a flat colander instead of a tebo colander. Other than the direct line stores, the "Rokkakuya" and "Honmokuya" that went bankrupt this time used noodles from Sakai Noodle Factory. "'Rokkakuya' is a store that Yoshimura's most disciple, Takashi Kondo, started independently in Rokukakubashi, Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama. At one point, the head family'Yoshimuraya'and Yoshimura moved to Naka-ku, Yokohama. It is a very famous store that was said to be one of the three families along with the first goodwill store, "Honmokuya". However, "Rokkakuya" is a store started by Mr. Yoshimura's most disciple. From the beginning of the store to today, Mr. Yoshimura has never been recognized as a "direct store" of the Yoshimura family. The "Yoshimura family" and the "Rokkaku family" have been in a jerky relationship for a long time. "(Food journalist)・ Mr. Takamitsu Kobayashi) Why on earth? Ramen explorer Kazuaki Tanaka explains. "Mr. Yoshimura did not open a branch office for 12 years after opening the first" Yoshimuraya "store in Shinsugita, Isogo-ku, Yokohama in 1974, but in 1986 he moved to Honmoku, Naka-ku, Yokohama. We opened our first store, Honmokuya. We left this store to our disciple, Takashi Kondo, and as the owner, it seemed as if we were finally embarking on expanding the store. However, two years later. The owner, Mr. Kondo, left the Honmoku family with his employees. After that, Mr. Kondo opened his own "Rokukaku family" in Rokkakubashi, Naka-ku. On the other hand, the owner, Mr. Kondo. The "Honmoku family" who lost the restaurant was forced to take a leave of absence for a while. There were various speculations about why Mr. Kondo became independent at that time, but the direction of the taste I was aiming for was different. I think that is the main reason. "Yoshimuraya" is a punchy type with soy sauce sauce, while "Rokkakuya" is a well-balanced eating of pork bones and soy sauce sauce. The feature is that it is a type that does not choose any hand. It seems that Mr. Kondo wanted to pursue the taste that he believed in. ”The“ Hexagon family ”that was born after understanding the“ Yoshimura family ”has grown on its own route. It began to. The turning point for the "Rokkakuya" was the opening of a store as a representative of Yokohama in the "Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum" that was born near Shin-Yokohama Station in 1994. As a result, the "Rokkakuya", which has gained national recognition, is called by fans as the "Family Three Family" along with the head family "Yoshimuraya" and the "Honmaki Family" who welcomed a different owner from Mr. Yoshimura. Will be. These three stores took disciples one after another and made them independent to increase the number of direct stores. Even now, the "fight" by the three families during this period is still a narration among fans. The most famous one is probably the "Ring 2 Ramen War" that occurred in 1994. The beginning of the matter began in 1994 when the "Honmaki family" moved to the land facing the Loop Route 2. Less than a year after the move, the direct line store "Kan 2 Family" of Yoshimura "Yoshimuraya" opened just a 1-minute walk from the "Honmokuya" store. "Around this time, Yoshimuraya's direct stores began to spread all over Yokohama. Since Ring Road 2 was originally a roadside ramen battleground, it is possible that the stores will open nearby by chance. However," Honmoku Even so, the distance between "House" and "Kan 2 Family" was too close. Some family fans whispered that "Yoshimuraya used his direct disciples to crush the Honmoku family" (above, Yamamoto). Mr.) However, there is also an aspect of this war that the craftsmen improved the taste so that both the "Honmoku family" and the "Kan 2 family" would not let go of the customers. The conclusion of the "Kan 2 Ramen War" has not yet been settled, and both stores are still popular stores with a continuous line of people, and sparks are scattered from each other within a 1-minute walk. In the early 2000s, the Yoshimuraya were "Sugitaya" (Isoko-ku, Yokohama), "Hajime" (Uozu, Toyama), "Royal" (Kashiwa, Chiba), and "Yokohama" (Yokohama). The number of direct stores such as (Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama) was increased one after another. "The development of multiple stores in the" Rokkakuya "and the independent opening of the people who trained in the" Yoshimuraya "increased awareness of Iekei Ramen. In the 1990s, the" Yoshimuraya "and" Rokkakuya " The number of people who started their own business after training at the store that was created by the graduates of "Yoshimuraya" and "Rokkakuya" became conspicuous. The stores that serve ramen have left Yokohama, the birthplace, and have spread all over the country. I think it was around this time that major restaurants found a business opportunity for the popularity of Iekei ramen. In the 2010s, it was finally over. , Those companies are making a full-scale entry into the industry. The ramen offered by these major restaurants at each store is the so-called "capital system". "(Mr. Tanaka, mentioned above) The capital system is gradually gaining power. On the other hand, competition has intensified among ramen shops affiliated with the "Iekei Ramen", which is supported by the skills of craftsmen. The most prominent one is the "Three-way Battle" (Mr. Yamamoto) that took place in 2013. "Torakichi-ya, a family of the royal road family, which was originally a direct line of the Yoshimuraya, opens along Prefectural Road 12, where the Suehiroya and Rokkakuya are directly affiliated with the Yoshimuraya. "Torakichi-ya" and "Rokkaku-ya" are only two houses next to each other. It is an area known as a fierce battleground for ramen shops, but for those who know "Kan 2 Ramen War" It was an event that I had to think about again. The family fans were already excited. In the first place, when the "Suehiro family" opened in 2012, the topic was "The Yoshimura family finally came to crush the Rokkaku family." However, the following year, an affiliated store of the royal road family was built nearby. There was even speculation that "Yoshimuraya and the royal road family teamed up to target the Rokkaku family." (Same as above) However, four years later, it became difficult for Mr. Kondo, the owner of the "Rokkakuya", to go out to the store due to poor physical condition, and the store was closed suddenly. It was. "Originally, the" family tree "derived from the" Yoshimuraya "has a detailed genealogy. That store is a direct line of the" Yoshimuraya ", and this is the" Rokkakuya "series. I was also very concerned about "origin". The shop side was also full of the spirit of showing our "family tree" with the pride of the craftsmen, and was devoted to improving the taste every day. In some areas, competition was so fierce that it was called "war," but it also had the positive side of producing taste metabolism. That was the "spice" for the evolution of the family tree. (Same as above) The site of the Rokkaku-ya main store, which used to be synonymous with "family tree" and fought a "top battle" with "Yoshimuraya" and others, is a vacant lot where weeds grow as much as you want. On the other hand, the Yoshimuraya has stated on the signboard that it is now the headquarter of the family, and the momentum is increasing. It is a popular store with long lines even now, nearly 50 years after it opened. The battle of ramen craftsmen and the rise of the capital system. The bankruptcy of the "Rokkaku family" means the end of an era of Iekei Ramen. (Read the first part, "Why did the prestigious" Rokkakuya "family ramen go bankrupt?")

"Let's work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year" ... Watami's "idea education" was still going on https://bunshun.jp//articles/-/40843 Watami Co., Ltd. continues to be charged with labor issues. On October 2, the director of the "Watami's Home Meal" sales office announced a series of recommendations from the Labor Standards Inspection Office to correct unpaid overtime, long working hours exceeding 175 hours a month, and falsification of time cards by bosses. It is. Overtime work of 175 hours a month due to Watami of "white company" promotion Recommendation from Labor Bureau for correction due to unpaid overtime fee Why did Watami not become a white company? Attendance "tampering" system without permission Mr. A also worked long hours, day and night I lost that feeling, and even lived with fear, "If I sleep like this, I may not wake up anymore." "If I worked as it was, I would have died," A asserts. Currently, he has a mental illness and is on leave while applying for an industrial accident. However, why did Mr. A continue to work hard while feeling the danger of his life? Behind this was Watami's system of "idea education" that worked on the consciousness of workers and made them accept harsh labor. "I'm doing such a good job, so I'll do my best even if it's painful." "It's not painful even if it's painful. Rather, it helps me." Mr. A told himself during overwork. In fact, Mr. A was "pride" in Watami's home-cooking work. Certainly, Watami's "home-cooked meal" has a part that can be called "social contribution." Watami's home-cooked meals have the concept of regularly delivering cheap meals to elderly people who have difficulty procuring meals. The delivery destinations of Mr. A's sales office were all such people. Elderly people living alone who go to day service every other day and have trouble eating when they are at home every other day. Elderly people, people with disabilities, and people who care for their parents who ask for two meals, one for lunch and one for dinner, and eat only Watami's home meal. Due to the difficult living conditions, there were various users who could not spend time, time and money on meals and had to rely on Watami. For Mr. A, who had worked in the field of long-term care and education until then, the home-cooking job that benefits society and the community was very rewarding. However, if they try to make a profit through such "support", they will be supported by the sacrifice of workers due to long working hours and low wages. It can be called a "poverty / black company business". At first, Mr. A calmly thought that job satisfaction and harsh labor should be separated, and was dissatisfied with Watami about the difficulty of work. However, poor working conditions were no longer a problem in Mr. A's mind. Mr. A recalls that it was Watami's "idea education" that brought about that change. "Work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year until you die." Many of you may know this phrase. It is a word that was written in a 400-page book called "Philosophy Collection", which was edited by excerpting Miki Watanabe's texts over the past 30 years. Immediately after joining the company, Mr. A was given a "philosophy collection" by the company and was told to carry it with him. Now, under criticism, extreme expressions such as "work until death" have been deleted. Still, let's quote some of the impressive expressions that remained undeleted in the "Philosophy Collection" (2016 edition) handed to Mr. A. <I don't think work is just a way to make money. I believe that work is the person's "way of life" itself and "the only means of self-actualization." That's why even at seminars for new graduates, while being told that it's out of date, he says, "Let's work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year."> <I also at a company information session, "Work is life itself. Don't use any means to do this. Let's improve our humanity through work. ”> <Watami Takushoku's greatest product is known as" people. " Magokoro-san (Note: Home-meal delivery person) is a person who carries a lunch box with a "heart" and receives "thank you". I pray that no one will misunderstand and think that it is a job to carry a "lunch box" and receive "money"> In this way, the book encourages working to thank customers for "thank you". Then, criticism of working for wages and justification for sacrificing oneself for the benefit of Watami were written everywhere. When Mr. A, who joined Watami, had any trouble, he was asked by the branch president, "Did you read Chapter x of the Philosophy Collection properly?", Because he did not fully understand Miki Watanabe's "idea." It was noted that. In addition, there is monthly counseling by the area manager, where the impressions of this month's "in-house newsletter" (published monthly and many of the texts of the philosophy collection are excerpts from here) and impressions of any part of the philosophy collection. Was to be written. In addition, a report was imposed once every four months. Two impressions were forced on the scope of the chapter specified from the collection of philosophies and the words written by Mr. Watanabe in the company newsletter for the last four months. Originally, Mr. A felt that submitting these impressions was "unpleasant." However, unwillingly, while it was being written continuously, he said, "I felt that Miki Watanabe's ideas were being planted somewhere." It was the existence of the "video letter" that deepened that. Every month, a "video letter" starring Miki Watanabe was provided to the sales office. The narrator of the popular TV program "Jonetsu Tairiku" is appointed, and Miki Watanabe appears every time, and it is a 30-minute video that explains the splendor of Watami's business. Monthly impressions were also required for this video. Moreover, it is not only the director who writes. Even the deliveryman, who was supposed to be a sole proprietor, was included in the contract to watch a video letter every month and write his impressions. When the delivery staff are shown this video at the sales office, they write their impressions by hand in their own impression column (there is a space for writing about 60 characters) on the sheet where the names of the director and the delivery staff are listed. .. The delivery staff only pays a hundred and several tens of yen per delivery destination, but there is no new reward for watching this video or writing their impressions. Furthermore, if the deliveryman's impressions included criticism of Watami or dissatisfaction with the work, the director was instructed to mark the part and add a comment. As an original device, Mr. A politely commented on the impressions of all the delivery staff with a number of characters that exceeded the impressions of the delivery staff. And it is said that this "comment" played a major role in Mr. A's "idea formation." Mr. A was told by his boss's area manager, "It is also the director's job to" take "the delivery staff to write impressions that praise Watami." They are trying to "control" the impressions of the delivery staff. However, Mr. A did not "tamper" with the impressions of the delivery staff. First, as the director, Mr. A explained in his impressions column prior to the delivery staff the wonders of Watami's business and working at Watami. Then, the delivery staff who write later will naturally be aware of the director's "model answer" and it will be difficult to write negative impressions. Even so, if there was a part of the deliveryman's impression that questioned Watami, he pointed it out in the comment section and said, "Let's share the significance with me again." Over the course of several months, the negative texts disappeared from the comments of the delivery staff, and at least ostensibly, the impressions of praising Watami began to grow. This monthly comment, which repeats the splendor of Watami, has steadily influenced "idea formation." However, what really changed was not the deliveryman, but Mr. A, the director. Mr. A, who should have dared to continue to "praise" Watami because of the necessity of his work, gradually praised Watami's business and labor unconditionally, and he said that he really became aware that he would not feel dissatisfied with labor problems. Through the act of instructing the impressions of the delivery staff many times, Mr. A's own consciousness was "educated". Here, let's quote the impression of the video letter that Mr. A wrote to show to the delivery person. It is an impression that I saw the video of Watami's SDGs efforts and Watami's efforts to support schools in Cambodia. <Note: Mr. A's business It is my job to make the place shine. I will do my best !!> Thank you for your praise for Watami's business and for working with Watami. The amount that extends beyond the space and the expression that is unusually uplifting. Unless Mr. A at that time really had the feeling of "believing" in Watami, it would be difficult to write so far. Mr. A, who is currently on leave due to a mental illness, looked back at his impressions and muttered. "It's unpleasant, read now." When overtime hours exceeded 150 hours a month, Mr. A was thinking "I'm bad" about long working hours. Although it was Watami's responsibility to handle too much work, he accepted it for "idea education" and began to blame himself for his slow work. At that time, one of the new delivery staff was worried when he saw Mr. A working until midnight and pointed out straightforwardly. "Mr. A, isn't he'brainwashed'?" At first, he was indignant, "I'm a rude person." I was beginning to think, "Maybe." In addition, the spouse who was assigned to work alone was also affected by the fact that he was teleworking from home due to the corona virus. Seeing Mr. A working endlessly at midnight and on holidays, he persuaded him to wake up many times. Finally, Mr. A decided to reach the NPO corporation POSSE, which I represent, and the black company union of the individual affiliated labor union, and to accuse Watami of labor problems in a big way. In this way, being blessed with the people around him and meeting his supporters, Mr. A was able to get rid of Watami's "brainwashing" and face the labor problems he had had so far. Mr. A now feels guilty that he may have been involved in Watami's labor problems. "If I make a mistake, I think I did the same thing as my boss." In order to fulfill his responsibility, Mr. A will continue to accuse Watami. Photos of this article (8)
