Whenever I hear how careers and jobs are done in Japan I feel like I’m listening to a corporate horror story. I get told “oh, but that’s just how things are done over there. They value different things than us”, but people in Japan are still human and the suicide rates tell a different story.
Yeah working here seems horrible. I’ve been working for myself ever since I moved back 15 or so years ago (born Okinawan, raised in Canada), so I don’t really have first-hand experience. But looking at my local friends and workers around town, I feel like they work way too hard for what they get.
