Boss can’t fire me because i’m japanese
well obviously this is not real
They expect to own you until the day you die.
Interviewed for a job there. They asked how long I would want to work for them. Told them I’d absolutely love to work for them as long as they can host my visa, and I’d love to even become a citizen.
That… Was not the right answer.
The interview was over from them on.
I still do not know what I said wrong. They don’t allow remote work so… Do they want me to become an illegal just to work for them?
I’m so at my wits end with hiring managers that I would just email “okay so what was the right answer??”
Probably the visa aspect. Japan is like famously racist and xenophobic.
They can but it’s unusual. They have an honor system and expect people to quit. They’ll go as far as sticking people in a room with nothing to do and not able to sleep until they give up, essentially adult time out.
Yeah, no, when someone’s secluded, they’re often put in an empty room without so much as a window, and given literally nothing to do, but sit there. Can’t even have a phone out. It’d drive me mad enough to quit, and the same is true of lots of people.
This would be considered power harassment in Japan and you can sue for it. Companies try to do it anyways though.
This is the story of a man named Stanley…
Not legal in countries where you cant outright fire people. You have to get them tasks. No phone out wouldnt be enforceable unless they sit you in a bunker with no connection.
It being illegal doesn’t stop people from doing it.
Is it? It’s your boss’ duty to provide you with work and they cannot dock your pay (outside of special circumstances) if they don’t have work for you, but they can absolutely pay you to sit around and drink coffee in case work comes around.
I believe what they’re saying is you can’t use work assignment to pressure someone to quit as a way around labor protections.
As with a lot of legal stuff, the intent matters.
imaginary friend game weak
It’d drive me mad enough to quit, and the same is true of lots of people.
So you’re saying it works.
In Japan, thats the whole point. The business will do this to make you quit instead of them firing you. They have whack employment laws.
Sounds good in a way because you can take as long as you like applying for other jobs without losing your current income.
Often comes with a job title change and people notice those sorts of things in Japan.
Better than being homeless whilst trying to find a new job
Japan is weird I’m not sure if it’s still this way but at one point homelessness or a resume downgrade would be a legitimate hard decision.
Sounds fucking amazing compared to my life
Yeah, you can’t unsee Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

I think you mean 3 movies, right? Because that’s how many Star Wars movies exist. There are 3 movies.
The sequel trilogy did a lot of work to make the prequels more bearable.
It’s not that the prequel trilogy somehow got better, it’s just that it no longer is the worst trilogy.
The only thing I’ve seen of ‘Star Wars’ is ‘Attack of the Clones’, but I was thinking of watching the new trilogy sometime. Are you saying it’s not worth it?
To be quite honest, I didn’t even bother watching them. But everything I have seen and heard about them convinced me that I made the right choice with it.
But then again, that’s just the opinion of an old grumbler. If you want to watch them and like them go ahead.
IMO they’re all skippable except for the original trilogy of A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and the Star Wars Holiday Special.
WHY IS NOBODY CREATING MORE MEAT FOR THE MACHINE!?!?!?
Politicians unable to get people to make fuck trophies because they can’t afford crap, have to slave away until they’re 70, return to a shoe box as a home, breathe polluted air from birth to death, and survive a burning planet.
No idea why people don’t want to pump out more than 2.1 units per woman. It’s a total mystery!
