Indeed Brian! I cant imagine having the patience to work for a Japanese boss.

2023-02-11 00:20:06 +0000 UTCI am not sure if the go drinking with boss is such a big thing anymore. The Japanese government is in a panic at the precipitous drop in drinking. Their tax on alcohol has taken a big hit and they are encouraging people to go and drink. 50% of young adults don’t have a regular daily drinking habit, according to references in Japan Today and Japan Times. There are lots of changes happening in Japanese society.

2023-02-11 00:18:39 +0000 UTCThis is a tough one... I know that I could never hold up, working in Japan under those circumstances, most especially the tradition/rule of "when the Boss calls you to go out, you go out, even if you planned personal or family time". Forget it, baby. When I leave work, I'm out of there. I don't think there's any way the average Westerner could suffer that, either. But what we are seeing more and more in the West -and something that is becoming almost normalized- is people losing their jobs if they should make horses asses of themselves on social media. The excuse of, "what I do on my own time is my own business" doesn't hold water, anymore. It's been argued, and no dice. I know of a case where a medical doctor lost her job because of an embarrassing drunken fracas she was involved in one night, captured by a third party on camera and posted online. And sadly, I'd have to say that I can understand it. And it is for this reason that I have no social media accounts whatsoever apart from YouTube, and Patreon. No Facebook, no Twitter, no "anything else". If a third party captured me in a "falling down" moment, there's not much I can do about it, but I would fully accept the fall-out from that. But at the very least, abstaining from social media can help in minimizing exposure. Once I retire... look out world! But until then, I need to keep my head down. As well... I seem to remember as a kid that "moonlighting" -having a second job- was a big no-no. That's always the impression I had. I think presently, as long as it doesn't interfere with your primary job it could be tolerated, but something tells me that corporations still don't look kindly upon it. They want your full attention. A colleague of mine is in the wine business as a side-venture. She even does weekend interviews as a regular guest on local radio. She got her wrist slapped here at work because she was seen to be investing time in that venture during primary working hours. It's a tough nut. Still though.... That "Boss wants us to come out" thing..? There's no way. None.
