They created a culture wherre work is the ONLY life anyone is ever allowed for any reason, and literally punish women for gettting prergnant by destroying her ENTIRE career and life......then have the balls to whine and bitch that women aren't getting pregnant and not having babies. Yeah guys, welcome to the consequences of your own terrible decision making.
I worked in Tokyo as an ESL teacher for 4 months. I was supposed to be there for a year but I'd had enough of that toxic work environment.
-You're not paid for overtime hrs
-people just hang around after work until the boss leaves, even if they're not doing anything. It's so bizarre and unhealthy.
-The physical workspace isn't efficient. shared material, which means you're scrambling right before your class cause the other teacher JUST finished with the material you need for your class.
-Hot summers with no A.C. They did this thing, where I worked, they'd have the air on but you could barely feel it. Teachers would be walking around sweating. And they would bring technicians in to "fix" it, but I think it was just for show. It was a very sneaky, toxic environment.
Japan is one of my favorite places to visit. But I'd never want to live and work there again.
But i thought its only middle east thats abusing employees
@@ExpatnemaNot at all
As the saying goes; Japan is an amazing place to visit but a terrible place to work.
Japanese people work till it's done and there's no slacking.
I was thinking I could bear this for one year to become literate and conversational. Then I could have business opportunities and quit. So you didn't have time during the four months to get a second job? Doesn't private tutoring on the side do well?
I thought that 9 to 5 job was killing me than I switched job and started the remote job at home the hours are less, I can have enough sleep and spend time with my family this change has improved my health and I am enjoying my life now. Health is wealth everyone keep it in mind, money comes and goes.
Is it the same job or is it a new job
Yea well the problem is it takes wealth to have good health unless you have rich parents or inheritance so a lot of people have to work their asses off and neglect their health.
@@pbassassinz8097 not really..you can still be healthy without being wealthy
Japan's workers are stuck in the cycle of programming from cultural norms. Get wealthy, work hard, obey masters, do not speak, portray sweetness, fight against one another to be number one. Then lust after financial freedom before most have hit 50. Problem is life is today and they stick money away depriving themselves relationships, food to keep mentally acute, and sleep. I guess they think everyone should be rich and live without trouble. They are delusional. Suicide, instant deaths from exhaustion, no social outlets, no partners. All work and no down time. Totally miserable . And worse people idolize these people. Insanity imo.🇨🇦🤦🏻I am so far below on income, but I have a life even with my disability at 62 years young. Would nit want these people's life. Glad you are wise to know what matters. It us not money. 💋👍🌷
I have to agree Remote work makes 9-5 jobs much more manable and takes off some of the stress of getting up in the morning and traveling to work or the stress of trying to go home as fast as possible to have time for your self. by remote working I get back 4 hours out of the day, that I can have time for my self. meaning it used to take me 1 1/2 hours or 2 hours sometimes to get to work in my old Jobs . now I get that Hour and half back in the mornings and when I get off from work, most people have a 9-5 or a 9-6 scedual , so if you get off at 5 most people don't get home until 6:30 on average some people get home at 7pm and some lucky once who live close to work can get home at 5:30 - 6pm . but if you work from home often times your done with your task by 4pm and you just coast to 5pm and your done right on the dot. you can have the rest of the day/evening to your self and not have to feel tired communiting home where once you get home you don't want to do anything else since your tired getting home at 6:30 to 7:30pm etc you just eat watch maybe 1 movie and then sleep, while if you're already home at 5pm you get the full 5 hours to do something before 10pm etc.
A Japanese friend of mine told me his company expected 6 hours of unpaid overtime a day and only one day off a month.
INSANE !!!
F that! I’d learn English and go work in another country before putting up with that 💩. Why people allow themselves to be walked all over by their jobs is insane?!? When my boss calls me on my days off looking for me to pick up hours I don’t even answer the phone anymore as a nurse. I’m there my three 12 hours shifts a week that’s enough. I can afford my bills without having to work anymore than that since my husband and I make the same amount. Cars are older and paid off. Mortgage is $830 a month for my house.
cringe
No wonder Isekai genre is extremely popular in Japan. People really want to escape the another fantasy world from unhealthy work conditions.
The anime "Zom 100" is literally about a Japanese overworked wage slave finding new joy in life when a worldwide zombie apocalypse strikes.
That's how bad working in Japan is.
Not only in Japan
@@reaperluke3518I love that show.
@@pinkpugginz I want to watch it but I fear it will make me hate working even more 😆😆😆
The situation is still horrible. I worked in Japan until mid of last year. Some colleges worked at least 10 hours per day and on top of that they had a commute of 3 hrs per day. One person was burned out and was gone for like 2 months.
Additionally, it is not productive at all. One is tired all the time and because of that it’s hard to concentrate. It is totally normal to sleep at your desk (during working time).
It’s just incredibly stupid.
Edit:
At my current job with less hours, my research has a better quality and I am not depressed as fuck all the time.
Eh? Seems like it’s the commute that’s killing them more than the job. Ten hours is a pain but far from suicidal. At least by American standards.
@@KaiserShield I doubt Americans work close to 6 hours. Most are lazy.
I would imagine that, when someone has a job in health care, being so tired all the time would mean they could not concentrate and they could make tragic mistakes in the care of patients.
Back in college some guy from Japan tried to get away with falling asleep bullshyt in class, the look on his face was PRICELESS when we told him "yeah, here in america, we're not allowed the luxury to be lazy and sleep at work like you guys are." He really thought just showing up was enough.
What’s the point of going home, the company might as well provide bedrooms and shower rooms within the premises, they’ve no life after all 🙄
Mind as well live there 😂😂😂😂
What's the point of a life enslaved to an office, working at the expense of everything else?
EDIT: A very short life, considering the subject matter of this documentry.
That's what Amazon is trying to do. Build apartments for the workers to live at.
@@pinkpugginz there is in fact a pretty detailed history of 'company towns' and stores and such. it never goes well for anyone involved
I live and work in Japan, in IT. I am currently on a project for a major Japanese automaker, and the workload is crazy. Crazy expectations of everyone. It is not that we waste time at work/work inefficiently, it is that the amount of work expected to be done is way too much. And you constantly get judged and berated. I have never received praise, just harsh abuse. This is Japanese management.
100 hrs overtime is too much for anyone, let alone a month. I previously worked for 34 yrs here in the US, and I never worked 100 hrs overtime in my entire working life. I"m not retired. They seriously need their heads examined.
The amount of paperwork on those desks... you can tell the Japanese are not efficient or productive. Collectively they work really hard to keep this image of perfection but the cracks are there
The paperwork us from the employer not the worker. The workers are running on steam essentially. Exhausted,nit eating well or often, no rest breaks, almost no sleep. Three days without sleep can make your mind go. Thinking and processing starves your cognition. I suffer a sleep disorder and it us really difficult but at 62 I can stay home with my disability and tend myself.
As someone who’s worked at a school that wasn’t bad in terms of how they treat their employees, you can really tell a lot of the times at these companies they to put being busy on a pedestal as opposed to being productive.
We are basically trying to abolish slavery again. Think about it.
Yes and no. Slaves have no pay it food or anything their own. But the similar traits of businesses and cultural need to be wealthy disgusts me personally. No regard for life imo.
@@PfftzttThe pay is so low that most people can't afford to eat, rent, pay for medical care or do anything but work. Those conditions create death and misfortune.
It's slavery with extra steps.
Slaves were fed and didn't have to pay rent. I would say we're just as bad off.
We're basically back in the feudal era where serfs work on land they don't own and give all the money to the king.
週5日ではなく週4日制度にしてほしい
This is probably a big reason why the birth rate is so low and continuing to shrink. I know I wouldn’t want to bring a child into or under these conditions.
With all the work they do, they probably don't have enough time or way too tired to make babies.
They barely have time to shower cook and clean
Did you see the movie.
Shogun from 1980 and last samurai from 2004..
Go and watch thiz movies you will see feudal Japan.
Japan people they were slaves To samurais dynasties for centuries. They made them this way.
They got brain washing from them the land lords.
You must work if not they kill you..
The samurais came from Korea and china ..
Read more about feudal Japan..
In Japan there is a work culture that you are loyal to the company, never leave before the boss, and overtime is expected, otherwise you will be replaced. It is sad in this day and age that this continues. Equally sad a lot of people take their own life because of the pressures and stress they are placed under by these corporations. An employee has to show loyalty and show appreciation that they have a job, weakness is not tolerated.
Japan people they were slaves
To samurais nobles for centuries..
The samurais dynasties made them this way..
You must work if not they kill you.
This is how brain washing works..

The samurais came from Korea and china...they were not native japanesse..
LOL I could barely do 8 hrs per day. Sometimes when I feel lazy I just call in sick and use my PTO so I can get a 3 days weekend to rest my mind and body. Companies dont care about you or your family. I learned that lesson long time ago.
I now live out of Asia. Whenever I meet people who say they want to move to Asia to work, at the back of my mind I have this strong doubt they would last. Work culture in Asia in general is very different from other parts of the world. Working at least 10 hours, 6 days a week is common if not a norm.
It’s more in the US. Everyone had two 6 hr part time jobs or one FT and one PT
Same situation here in south korea.
Man, they need unions and workers rights. 😮
union to bribe ofc
Human rights.
I live in Japan and have quickly learned mental health isn't an issue. I currently work in 2 different restaurants part time. Both shops my managers work 9am till 11pm/12am 6 days a week. And almost always on their 1 day a week off they still have a half day or work errands to do.
The shame is Japanese companies also wish other nationalities working in their organisation do the same thing. It could be considered an indirect murder 😒
I believe a lot of japanese workers stay late because it is expected of them. The company expects 24/7 loyalty and fealty, wives expect husbands to come home late, co-workers expect everyone to be the last to leave. No one likes it but it is 'expected' therefore it is done; it is the social norm.
Fuck that loyalty shit. No jobs worth your health and family.
The gas lighting from NHK to not only knowingly have one of their employees overwork, but have the gall to say “she didn’t know how to manage her work load” is one of the most infuriating, unprofessional, completely stupid things to ever disgrace the broken heart of her mother. What a damn shame.
Yumiko and her cosmetics company is just amazing! Proof that you can have happy workers and increased margins.
The LDP has been in charge of Japan since the post-WWII constitution was adopted. The solution to this would be to vote them out of power.
When everything is going down hill they encourage people to vote them out so when the new people is in then everything goes even worse because you can't vote out Bankers and rich people that are 100% on the LDP side and then will oppose any other and eventually people will put the LDP on power again because at least they know the LDP will bring stability later. Soo.... imposible to get rid of the LDP
I think it's not because of some political party has the power or not, it's in the work culture among their society. In my opinion
No wonder some of them are migrating to Africa where life is more relaxed. Even European doctors are opening private hospitals on the great continent of Africa. My doctor here in my peaceful and beautiful , sun kissed, mineral rich country is a German who has no plans to go back to Europe.
I would love to visit Africa.
Absolutely sad but also eye opening what we take for granted here in central EU. For me a job is only a necessity to bring trough the day. Sometimes I want to sleep longer so I come later to work and will still leave early. I have minus hours most of the time but I just dont care and eventually I'll make these up when the workload is bigger. I do coffee breaks all the time or go to the kitchen for small meals. I'm not willing to work like crazy for a company that isnt mine and I dont care about. All I care is to come home, sit on my bike and drive out of the city into the forest or go to the gym. Fck work
Why not do what you love? Find a way. Life is not about money. But neither is lack of interest in living while working.If you do what you love, you enjoy it. 62 I know. I had jobs I hated so changed them.Even if less pay or crap jobs I did if I liked it and slept well later from a good day.
@alienpizza... if only it were that simple. I'm an award-winning author, and despite all of my hard work at doing the things I love, I'm all but completely invisible and "cancelled" by social media. 🙂 Algorithms, coin, connections, crews, clout, corporations, corrupt CEOs, and creepy cronies control it all. You have NO chance unless you're already independently wealthy and influential. Most people aren't, obviously.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat You have accomplished much. That is wonderful. Value is never forgotten. It is now t how many value what you accomplished, but those who valued your efforts. Silent witnesses to your paths outcome. C ancel culture is an epidemic. However the worlds view is moot. Nothing is simple in life. That is an illusion. Most want to get to the mountain top, but prefer to forgo climbing the journey to reach it. Then once there the view is an a let down, so they feel cheated. Point was the journey, not the destination.🥲 I learned that most wanting simple, never are truly satisfied with outcome.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat I live in an old house renting. Alone with little money. My last remaining amily is far off and just won't ever see me again. Neither can afford to. At 62 I will die alone but for my cat. But with poor health I value my life enough to appreciate it. A nobody in society's eyes. I am okay knowing this. My joy can not dissolve based on this fact. Nature, a roof over my kitty and simple food is my small comfort. You achieved much and were let down by the world but you did something amazing. I am honored. 🙋🏻♀️🌺🥲I know an author, not highly accomplished but a fountain of knowledge. That enriched my world. You cannot put a price on that. I may seem to simplify to your standards, but if all I can do personally is just breathe, then I am fulfilled. No true joy can be based on the world view of our worth only our own perceptions of our true worth. The world will never take your integrity. It is yours alone. Hold on to it. God keep you and bless you, restore your faith in others who see your preciousness, not a commodity. You are more valuable than rubies.
I was getting under 40 hours because I needed to sleep more so I would start later or leave early. And I was getting in trouble for getting 38 hours or 39.5 hours.
I just can't always do it due to medical problems. My best hope is that I will be fired so I can collect unemployment for a couple months while I reset.
I love Japan and I will visit for as long as I live. I will never live to work there unless as a business owner. Shame on the Japanese government for allowing this to happen.
The problem is humans were not even supposed to work like this like its not natural we are working harder in general than our ancestors did this is not normal at all noone should be working 40 hours a week let alone more than 40 hours a week
The workplace environment no matter where you are in the world is toxic and abusive. Its really hazardous to one's health.
This is a “wicked” problem. Laws should help, if they are enforced. But like someone said in one of the interviews, it is a society problem. As long as working long hours is considered by each Japanese to be the measure of value, it is going to be hard for those people to enforce the laws.
Fantastic to see at least one example of a different approach.
I believe that Japanese car manufacturers in Britain have to behave differently because there is a trade union. However, the result of that can be that the firm find England too expensive and move the production elsewhere, factory closes and lots of English people lose their jobs.
Ironic really that they worked POWs and slave workers to death during the war but two generations later they’re doing it to themselves. I did go there for a job interview but never got the post, watching this and reading the comments I’m glad I never.
I couldn’t live in Japan due to toxic living and working conditions and the culture.
What country and continent do you reside in?
You mean not japan but tokyo
this is just the tip of the iceberg of things f'd up in jpn.
Even as a doctor you are overworked in Japan
I spent a bit of time in Japan. The people are kind and gracious and the culture can be quite beautiful. But underlying expectations are very strong and rigid at times. I can see how people really valued compliance and it seemed like many did not feel comfortable admitting to the idea of personal needs or freedoms.
One of the absolute worst, if not *the* worst thing about Japan is the vile work 'culture'. Currently at my company, there are at least 3 people who are sick because of their oppressive workloads, with one just gone on extended leave due to the seriousness of their illness.
As discussed in this film, the appalling 'power harassment' drives people to quit or have breakdowns. The vicious bullying that occurs at schools just carries on into working life. To make matters worse, as mentioned here too, the salaries are woeful.
As much as I have sympathy for all those affected, it is so frustrating that people don't/can't/ won't just say "No". These days, companies are struggling to recruit, so in a sense, the employees have the upper hand. Yet they consider "gaman" (endurance/perserverance) as a virtue, so people stay silent, suffer...and then decide death is the only escape.
Japan (and Germany) had a collective guilt post WW2. This combined with an economic imperative to work intensively to rebuild infrastructure, commerce, communications, education and social welfare. This diligent and strong work ethic has however become so entrenched in the next generation that some corporations are abusing the mindset, vulnerability and passion of humanity. Moderation and pragmatism is needed to ensure Regulations are enacted. China has this same issue growing as we speak… much of the “West” has swung too far the other way with a liberal, woke anti-establishment agenda. It’s not going to end well 😲
Very interesting article, but I felt an important notion was missing. The aricle had only presented the people agreeing, that Karoshi is a problematic issue (and it is), but there are also people in Japan, that hold on to the absurd idea, that Karoshi is something like the badge of honour - "giving up your life to build the country", and stuff like that (particularly the elderly, no suprise here).
While I was working in Germany, I've met a woman from Japan, who lost both of her parents to Karoshi, and she told me, that her relatives, even her grandparents, are in total denial about it, claiming their deaths were "noble and heroic" (perhaps, it is a way of coping, but still...).
It shows, just how deeply rooted the idea "hard work" is, in the minds of Japanese, not efficient work, not effective work, not innovative work (these notions are often frowned upon, considered as subversive, actually) just HARD.
would they count all this extra hours together, they would see that there is enough space for more jobs (and this would help with the youth unemployement) - but the companies would have to be willing to pay for the work they are being given
I wish that these documentaries would be translated so that I can watch/listen while I’m doing other things rarely am I able to just sit down and read while I’m watching a documentary?
definitely
what about the pleasure to listen to beautiful languages such as Japanese and German?
It's going to be an uphill task for them to change the laws and mindsets of employers about the working hours. Nonetheless, I truly wish them all the best in this "fight". I really hoped they succeed in changing the work culture there.
incredibly eye-opening documentary. I love Japanese culture as a German, but even as a German who has been brought up to be a good slave and rule follower, I think Japan has got it much worse. This is slavery with extra steps. I already had a burnout including depression and since this event my mental health is the most important thing to me. It's the most valuable asset along with health and friendships. In my opinion, this whole system will go completely to the wall in the coming years.
This is a good documentary shows the reality of Japanese society. Workers show their loyalty to the organization by working longer hours than other workers. Also, when other workers are working hard towards their work goals, they put in more effort than others, valuing the atmosphere and harmony in the workplace. Not putting in effort is a dishonorable and shameful state. Unfortunately, this process can bring about death.
On an unrelated note, part-time jobs are called Arubaito in Japan. The word comes from German, but I don't know why.
Studies show that you reach your max work potential after about 6 hours and then it's nothing but decline.
during and after ww1 lots of german/austrian soldiers were sent to japan from china, they started working part time in some areas, japanese were completly astonished by those ppl because they havnt seen other people that close for hundreds of years. also why so many animes use german names
Im going stop too. Im working 30-40 hours overtime a week. Im sooo tired all the time
Because you eat fake food.
All vegi are GMO..
The situation is also catastrophic in south Korea where very educated people want to flee away from social injonctions. Paradise movie shows this issue
They couldn't possibly rationalize the same things I've witnessed a d lived with all these years with all the massacres I witnessed
As an Australian public school teacher, I usually work around 40 hours overtime a month, and even that is way too much.
70 to 80 hours a months would definitely destroy me.
This is so sad on many many levels. These people don’t deserve this treatment. It’s absolutely deplorable that Japan doesn’t care enough to protect their people.
No way. Thats the problem.
They have been slaves for many centuries to samurais nobles.
The samursis made them this way.
They dont even dance..
i worked 11hrs a day and im tired waking up everyday to work again.. and still feel tired from yesterday! >_
They are called lizard tails
It's a big problem in japan
This is just a glimpse of it.
Black companies😮 should have a specific " humanity resource office"
Corporations are the new Daimyo.
I like Japan that introverts can exist here without being stigmatized but you cannot survive in this country if you have ADHD.
work conditions can be really bad in asia, a wet dream for sweatshops/consultancies. healthy finances and worker unions are need of the hour.
Damn.. 200hours a week.. Whattt.. Thats pure suicidal
Why is there so much work to be done in Japan?
I always thought dumb people needed more time to finish their work thats why they extend beyond the allotted time.
Because Japan had an incessant obsession with Technological and human advancement . It’s like a virus. They caught it when they were exposed to the outside world after a long period of isolation, and felt they needed to play catch-up with the rest of the world. Well, they are well ahead of everyone, and not going to slow down for fear they will lose the “race”.
Pointless busy work and a society deeply in love with the concept.
Insane!
In the name of success, sometimes they endure to their hellish work with no work at home or going home to get rest
This is repeated. Not sure if the channel is the same.
😮
It's a old video. The cell phones shown aren't smartphones, pic quality isn't HD, alot of them have gokusen hairstyles. So this video is probably between 2000-2010
Thank goodness their cars don’t have Karoshi, they run forever!
Pretty much the worst things humans could possibly do to each other I was the victim of or forced to bare witness to
I don't know what's worst, working yourself to death and having food, shelter, and a roof over your head. Or, being homeless and eating food from the garbage can.
It's like God made us either to work ourselves to death or go homeless 😢. If you are lucky, you are born rich and live comfortably.
It's really so i am speechless and frozen, it's really so.
Buy agri land and grow produce. Live at ur own pace
Or you choose to live a minimalistic life.
Don't you dare. God did Not make us do anything. We did this. Satan is active too if you bring God to trial. Blame that jerk for this why don't you. God blame is a copout. It burns me when people pass off human stupidity on God. Not to mention disrespecting our Creator. Free will was a gift. Curses come from nobody taking responsibility for man's mistakes he put action. God did not do this. He warned us how to live.To look to Him nit trust in money or the world. Pride tells you God is to blame. Free will. If God told us right from wrong, gave free will and we mess up, He can not be blamed for our stupidity. He taught us and we know better if we pay attention to His scriptural teaching. It is on us. Accountability bud. 🤦🏻🇨🇦
We were born to be prisoners or slaves, it seems.
The key factor is money. If you can convince the government that it is losing money due to Karoshi, there would be a change in attitude. This is true of any government. Money greases the wheels.
a high tech country where they feel proud of 5 million vending machines has a system in place which will not allow the workers to track their working hours
This is sick.
Here in the u s. I work til insane sometimes at one of my jobs. I still rely on that weekly direct deposit of 300
I think my dad was overworked he worked until 60 I’m 40 probably not as healthy because iv smoked since I was young sleep well people
Work to live not the other way around.
What about work life balance ?
Bully supervisors 😡
The inflation now is insane and I doubt people are saving money. One person can easily spend $200/month for a meager diet. If there was at least some hope that your efforts mattered with good savings, at least people would have something to look forward to.
I'm spending closer to 500 a month on food for one person
@@pinkpugginz Oh yeah, I believe it. That's how much a decent diet will cost -- basic rent!!!
These people put one of the most overengineered cars they ever developed into Street Fighter and allowed you to bash it. My theory is this is how the relieve the stress of work stress. Some software engineer left Toyota and ended up helping make Street Fighter. Jokes aside, Toyota is actually the outlier as in its lean system, overtime is viewed as a form of waste and burden. Unfortunately, other Japanese companies do not take this view
Like in the U.S., once you have a family and it's difficult to get another job, the unfortunate can't say "No" to an employer's request to get that deadline taken car of at all costs. I have little hope the Government will implement enough measures to cease this kind of thing.
Work is such a big part of people's lives, but we're only human to burn out. Been there- I'm happy I'm alive. No way, I'll run the treadmill
again in this lifetime.
At the factory I work at they were working us 12 HR days 5 days a week.after a year so many quit they imported Mexicans.now half the work force can't speak English.they have them doing the 12 HR days.the difference they are in their 20s we were in 40s and 50s.
No wonder their population is declining. People would rather “work hard” than spend time developing relationships and living their lives. Government needs to fix this toxic work culture or face workforce death in the near future.
I really hope they fight for a work life balance these hours are unhealthy for anyone.....no time to enjoy life just work....I wish the groups fighting this get a good result in the end. Japanese people work very hard in life and deserve a rest.
Probably old news ....it's probably fixed already
SO LIKE AMERICA ‼️‼️🇺🇸💔💔💔💢 SO SAD HUMANS‼️🌎💦🙏😿🐾💔💔💔💢😞😞😞
Glad somebody said it.
Years and years ago someone created a version of SpongeBob SquarePants if SpongeBob SquarePants was Chinese, on RUclips since workers in China are often far too overworked, and yet SpongeBob SquarePants absolutely loves being overworked, and since in Japan, workers aren't being treated any better than workers in China, there should be a version of SpongeBob SquarePants if SpongeBob SquarePants was Japanese.
Its your choice.. you can balance your life..
The system is not North American, nor European. You are confusing yours to one so different it is communistic.
Aaa so that type of "required overtime" is called karoshi
Oooh
Those cops were puppy's after everything I survived witnessed and was abused by others in the most hanis possible ways they couldn't imagine
Keine Angst, Deutschland ist auf dem besten Wege.
Everywhere illness sickness die'in humans.. cause of work to and for all within industrie and clock and money.. say NO then Peace is for everybody by Yes to workin for Life. All Life..
It's clearly the fault of employers and colleagues for taking advantage of hard working people.. take them for granted. There should be employment law. Voluntary or not, working hours should not exceed 45-48 hours per week.
Work, work , work but nothing produced in the end just more coffee, cigarettes snd wasting office ellectricity for office overheads.
2012 mbp??
Interesting fact being that the first ladies husband would not be overworked in 2024, as there would be considerably less children around.
That dude expose his ass ! Good for him...take shit from noone! Dont mattwr what country u live ! Like he said , everyone stay quiet vuz they fear ....not him obviously! That's how u change shit
Cowardice is not the same as fear. Big difference. Fear motivates change, as the man showed. Cowards refuse to because if reputations tarnished and word spreads there in Japan, like China you are scarlet lettered essentially. Even credit can be refused, housing and other necessary services we all expect. It is far deeper than cowardice though.
When I worked for us components building trusses for buildings we were too fast at building and had to leave work for the other shifts and we built thousands of buildings and separately I built over 125 miles of asphalt road and final prep for 5 different neighborhoods and installed all the water sewer and electric pipelines helped install over 100 miles of concrete cylinder pipes for under roads and helped install 25 ton concrete boxes under new highways I did demolition for warehouses and hotels with septic pipeline ruptures and 40+ rooms being contaminated with sewage I did the remodeling and demo and hazmat cleanups and with state contracted jobs I was forced to depose of over 25 dead people that the cartels killed and disimbodyed on state land like the fairgrounds they had me at gun point during all those murder victims cleanups and I did a lot of other forced contracts with the state as almost the same as a emergency response person except I never killed anyone I cleaned them up

You have someone else helping ? Most expensive part of California
6:26 I'm sorry, I know this man is a sociologist, but this is such BS. Yes, on the surface, employees do agree to render overtime and other conditions, but that's with the implied and shared understanding that if they do not agree to this, they will either not get the job or keep it for a long time. Add the fact that a vast majority of Japanese companies only hire in April and only take in fresh graduates, which means that if you say no, you're effectively unhireable anywhere save for part-time, low-wage jobs.
So it *is* effectively slave labor.
Hey I really respect that you've read a lot about Japan. But the whole thing about Japanese companies only hiring fresh graduates is quite outdated, and in fact, it hasn't been that way for 15+ years. Of course younger workers are preferred, but workers who have learned a decent amount of marketable skills generally have no problem moving to another company. Remember, it is a society with a rapidly decreasing workforce.
Sincerely, someone living in Japan for 8+ years.
