A woman was fatally stabbed in her apartment, the culprit reportedly being a disgruntled coworker. The incident occurred over the weekend in the bustling city of Tokyo. Authorities are currently conducting investigations to determine the motive behind this tragic event.

Such violent incidents reduce the sense of safety and security people have in their homes and workplaces, leading to widespread concern and discussion. Japanese workplaces are often stressful and demanding, yet violence is generally rare. This incident has drawn attention to the need for better conflict resolution mechanisms within corporations.

In the US and EU, workplace violence is also a concerning issue. Different approaches towards conflict resolution and workplace safety are taken, with policies on workplace violence, harassment, and de-escalation training being common.
