One thing that always stuck with me in regards to Japanese work culture is that when I said that I address my work supervisor by his first name, my Japanese conversation partners were baffled. Then when I'd told them that the I do the same with the plant manager, they were genuinely shocked I wasn't fired on the spot.
This just convinces me even more not to stay and work here after my student visa. I came from a FAANG company where we were treated extremely well; there's no sense in working in Japan after that. I'm good just using tourist visas, enjoying the low cost of living and staying for 6 months at a time and then going home.
I hear you. Japan just hasn't yet been forced to attract global talent yet, and most Japanese people don't speak English so they can't leave. As the population shrinks, this is changing, but as with anything here, change is excruciatingly slow
To be fair. As a person who had worked in the US and Asia. Young people still uses Xcel in everything. Even in big corporate companies (Fortune 500 Companies). Also, I think when you're old.. you should not be working too much and compete with the hungry but energetic young people. it's not fair.. you already did that when you were young... It's called "Respect". You will appreciate it when you're old and weak.. You will be thanking the system that you don't have to work so hard anymore now that you are older and have a family to feed. Isn't that what we all like? "Family First"
Sadly, our economic system is built around a massive pool of young people feeding into the pensions of the old, and as this system is collapsing, old people have to work just as hard as young people to stay afloat...
More than most people think, and they are still a more attractive startup hub than South Korea or most of Asia to be frank. The issue is as always funding, but that is becoming better with more and more established companies realizing that they cannot innovate themselves
I've noticed your claim that Japan is the oldest country in the world in several other videos, which is simply an inaccurate and ignorant statement. Japan's history is much shorter compared to China and Korea, not to mention the ancient Mesopotamian, Indus, or Egyptian civilizations. The history of Japan truly begins around 3 BC, when the Yayoi people migrated from the Korean Peninsula to Kyushu and gradually mixed with the aboriginals called Jomon, eventually becoming the direct ancestors of the Japanese.
So true, in France, the average waiter would likely be akin to a very rude Japanese customer
"Working in japan it isnt that bad"
Minutes later
1. Seniority system
2. Hard to adapt to nee things
Etc...
Never change japan, never change😂😂😂

The average working hours in Japan are shorter than in the United States.
Didn't I mention this in the video?
Nice video
What about entrepreneurship in Japan? Are there many startups in Japan?

As someone who has to do his monthly reports and bi yearly individual reports in Excel: yeah, I feel that.

@@theanimesupply Sorry, but I think you missed the point. I was talking about Japan having the oldest population in the world, not its history.
@@konichivalue Nice response, concise and respectful.
