給料泥棒
久しぶりに古いクライアントから電話が入った、「一寸相談したい事があるので来てくれませんか・・・」とのこと。
早速担当営業マンと一緒に本町の本社ビルを尋ねると、旧知の総務課長が何時にない渋い顔で、「イヤ、
恥ずかしい話しながら相談というのは社員の事でして、」と話出した。内容は概略以下の通り。
「勤続１２年になる女子の営業社員。遅刻欠勤は殆どなく外見的には真面目に仕事をしている様であるが成績が全く出ないし、
夜のバイトをしているとの噂もある」、そこで、「就業時間中の行動と退社後の行動を一度みてくれないか・・」との調査依頼であった。そこで、
直ぐに詳細な打ち合わせを行い、翌々日の朝から行動調査に入ることとなった。
当日、朝の出勤時に被調査人の面割の為、調査員３名がそれぞれ配置につく。会社への入口が地下と１Ｆと２箇所あり、最低３名が必要であった。
上手く出勤時の彼女を確認し万全の体制で張り込み開始。尾行調査で一番気をつけなければならないのが、
対象者が動き出すまでの監視時の時間帯（張り込み）である。とにかく自然体で周りの環境に溶け込み、
違和感無く張り込みをしなければならいし、出口から片時も眼を離す事ができない、調査員にとって一番きつい時間である、
状況によってはそうした体勢で１０時間も１２時間も張り込みを続けなければならない事がある。
随分古いことではあるが私が直接経験した仕事で一番長かったのは、張り込みのみが１ヵ月半続いたことがある。しかし、今回はそんな事は無い。
監視１時間半で対象者が出てきた、早速尾行開始。事前情報では神戸に出向くはず、地下鉄本町駅から千里中央行電車に乗車し、梅田駅で下車。
予定通りの行動かと思えたが、実際は阪急百貨店に入り、ノンビリとした雰囲気でゆったりと商品を見て歩く。
具体的に何かを求めようとしている感じではない（意外とデパート内の尾行は難しい）、３０分位ブラブラと時間を潰し、その後、
ナビオ阪急へ入りエスカレータで７Ｆレストラン街へ、そこに同僚と思われる女性が居て２人でレストランに入る。なんと、
そのレストランで２時間かけて食事。昼１時半に同所を出て同僚と別れ、今度は一人東通り商店街を歩きパチンコ店へ、ここで約２時間潰し、
のんびりとした足取りで阪神百貨店に入る。全く仕事をする様子はない。阪神に３０分ほど居て、そのまま地下鉄へ、そして帰社したのが４時半。
調査員はそのまま会社付近で張り込み。６時１０分対象者が現れる、早速尾行開始、地下鉄に乗り難波駅で下車、
そのまま南の歓楽街に向かい某スナックビルに入る。エレベータで４Ｆへ、
所が調査員は同じエレベータに乗るのは余りにも不自然な為４Ｆを確認しただけで一端尾行を中止。
７時の時間帯でスナックを覗いて歩くわけにも行かず、食事をしながら時間を潰すことにする。９時近くなった為、
調査員３名がそれぞれ手分けして４Ｆスナックを確認、結果１０坪ほどの小さなスナックで彼女が立ち働く姿を確認し、無事調査終了と相成った。
そんな社員が居るのか・・？、と驚かれる方も多いと思うが、会社が社員に疑いを持ってこんな依頼をする場合、
行動パターンは千差万別であるが７?８割はこの様に全く仕事はしてなく、ただ無駄に時間を潰し、時間になったら素知らぬ顔で会社に帰り、
デタラメの日報を提出しているケースが大半である。
I got a call from an old client after a long time, “I have something I would like to discuss with you…
When I asked about the headquarters building in Honmachi together with the salesperson in charge, the manager of the general affairs department, who I knew for a long time, gave me an unusual frown and said, “No, I don’t.
I was embarrassed to say that I was talking to you about consultation, but I was talking about my employees,” he said. The contents are outlined below.
A female sales employee who has been with the company for 12 years. He is almost never late or absent, and although he looks like he is doing his job diligently, he is not getting any grades.
There was a rumor that he was working a night job,” so he asked us to look at his behavior during working hours and after he left the office. So.
A detailed meeting was immediately held and the next morning we were to start the action research.
On the morning of the day, three investigators were assigned to each investigator for the purpose of allocating the surveyed persons. There were two entrances to the company, one in the basement and the other on the ground floor, which required a minimum of three people.
We started the stakeout by checking her when she went to work well. The most important thing to watch out for in a follow-up investigation is
This is the time period of surveillance until the subject begins to move (stakeout). Anyway, he blends in with his surroundings in a natural way.
It’s the toughest time for an investigator to be on a stakeout without any discomfort, and you can’t take your eyes off the exit for a moment.
Depending on the situation, we had to keep staking out for 10 or 12 hours in such a position.
It’s a long time ago, but the longest I’ve had direct experience with a job was a stakeout that lasted a month and a half. But that’s not the case this time.
After an hour and a half of surveillance, the subject came out, and we started following him immediately. I was supposed to go to Kobe according to the advance information, but I took the train for Senri-chuo from Honmachi Subway Station and got off at Umeda Station.
I thought it was just as planned, but in reality, I entered the Hankyu Department Store and walked around leisurely looking at the products in a relaxed atmosphere.
I don’t feel like I’m trying to get something specific (it’s hard to follow someone in a department store), so I’m just hanging out for about half an hour and killing time, and then
Entered the Nabio Hankyu, took the escalator to the restaurant district on the 7th floor, there was a woman who seemed to be a colleague, and we entered the restaurant together. Oh my.
It took us two hours to eat at that restaurant. I left the same place at 1:30 p.m., parted with a colleague, walked alone in the East Street shopping street to a pachinko parlor this time, squashed about two hours here, and
I walked leisurely into the Hanshin Department Store. There was no sign of work at all. I stayed at the Hanshin station for about 30 minutes, went straight to the subway, and came back to work at 4:30.
At 6:10 a.m., the investigator staked out the area near the company and started following the subject.
We went to the southern entertainment district and entered a certain snack building. Take the elevator to the fourth floor.
However, the investigator only checked the 4th floor because it was too unnatural to take the same elevator, and stopped following him once.
Since it was almost 9 o’clock, I decided to kill time with a meal, as it was 7 o’clock and I couldn’t walk through the snacks.
The three investigators divided their hands to check the snacks on the 4th floor, and as a result, they found her standing and working in a small snack room of about 2,000 square meters.
You don’t even have an employee like that. Many people may be surprised to hear that a company is making such a request to an employee with suspicion.
The pattern of behavior is various, but 70-80% of them don’t do any work at all like this, they just waste time, go back to the office with a blank face when the time comes.
In most cases, they are filing bullshit daily reports.
