I don’t get this thread. Did everyone forget japan’s notorious corporate and conservative culture? They absolutely do adhere to the rules. Whether it’s voluntary or because of pressure or fear is another story. I would never want to be an employee over there, especially with the way they treat non white migrants.
Have you ever independently confirmed this by talking to Japanese people and people working in Japan or have you only been exposed to whitey writing about Japan?
I worked in Japan for a Japanese company for a few years. The working environment was pleasant, people left at 5:30 and nobody was ever yelled at or abused that I saw. None of these things I can say about working for Westoid companies in countries that ostensibly have better work culture.
Like yeah, "Black companies" do exist and some people do work horrendous hours under poor conditions. That's hardly a Japanese thing is it?
