They feel that managers should be honored to work so hard for their staff. I already put in my time when I was younger and felt it was my time to slack off a little and let the younger staff take over. Japan has the opposite view. I will never work for a Japanese company ever again even for the insane amount of money they paid me. It isn't worth it.  |
lol yeah the unpaid overtime of managers is hilarious
congratulations on your "promotion" if you can call it that!
I've heard many times of people fearing the manager "promotion" lol
Most people I meet in Japan work very little or an awful lot. The 40hr work week is not something common among those I know.
The funny thing is though, that those who DO work 40hrs a week all have part-time positions, not full time, which means they get shit pay among other differences.
