I wonder if those companies can revoke the visas they gave those people. Or if they have a "permanent resident" visa, just not hire them back? What rights do the companies have in "job abandonment" cases? If I were to be absent for more than two days without an explanation, I'd be considered "abandoning my job" and my employer could legally fire me. Who gives a crap what the expats think about the Japanese in this case. And why on earth is it considered racist? Because it was the gaijins who left?

This leaves me with sickening feeling inside. I know it has nothing to do with tourists who may go there in the future, but I wonder how the Japanese people perceive those who leave at the drop of a hat. And these people picked Japan as somewhere to work and live. One has to take the bad with the good, right? I know enough Japanese geography to know that if it were office workers in Tokyo or Osaka, then they are cowards. I apologize for this, it just makes me angry....
