NEVER work at these companies in Japan
never work here in Japan I was interviewing at some companies and had to leave as soon as they told me how they treat their employees policies like unpaid mandatory overtime working on weekends and holidays and not letting people quit I even had a company say that employees need to pay them when they missw work no matter if it’s an emergency like a train accident or a health issue like it’s already bad enough to not get paid for the day imagine having to hand your boss a crisp one hundo every time you get a flat tire devious absolutely devious people here call these black companies because they’re Infamous for their Shady business practices they target young workers or foreigners because they don’t know better or don’t have resources to fight them and when you try to quit I’ve heard of people getting sued by these companies or blackmailed at their new jobs in retaliation is it legal no does it happen somehow yeah and honestly some of my jobs in the US were just is bad but this is what to look out for in Japan

Btw I’ve been lucky enough to never go further than interviewing with these companies, but almost every person I know here has worked for a “black company” at some point, please feel free to share your stories!
I see you big red
I actually resigned 3 days ago. I worked for the company for 5 months, and I clocked up 160hrs of unpaid overtime. I just couldn't anymore, I was exhausted. Trying to get a new job, but also going to start streaming while I still look for work.
Zelfmoord land nummer 1 van de wereld. 😢
humanity is done
I have to give them credit, they are incredibly successful at one thing. They draw people into their trap by making them dream of lives they would want to live, through the life, culture, and way of living they depict in anime. People only realize the bitter truths when they enter their greedy systems that are full of racism, discrimination, and a complete disregard for human value.
Blink once if it's the job
Blink twice if it's the people
Blink 3 times if 2 wasn't enough
“Never work for these companies” doesn’t name a single company
Not allowed to quit? Just rock into work sake-sodden every day until they fire you 😂
I was once targeted for being young and not having resources to fight back.
Fuck it! This made appreciate my job in the US.
Wait a minute, you are telling me one of the most xenophobic and racist countries in the world treats employees poorly?
Tired tokyo guy work there and paid low it explains
Saiei Internationam English School does this.
I dont know why people say japanese are so good docile etc. Remember just 80 yrs ago what wreck they created
You really don't see how nightmare job look's like 😂
Shame on Japan for not having government policies to shut down these companies.
"Employment" means the worker believes he's free even though he's a ( wage ) slave. The wage covers his basic needs, food, shelter, clothing, so that he can turn up for work. This is world wide.
In the year 1900 , 10% of the people lived in cities, it's now 55%. Come on guys, we love the city life, it beats living in nature anyday.
I feel like Japan can solve their birth rate problems by fixing the work hours
Some companies are like this in the UK: unpaid overtime and selling you a parking space or additional leave.
But they have such the good reputation of having much honor. Lol. Humans are humans no matter if they’re Japanese , or any other nationality. There are bad ones, shady ones and good ones in all nationalities
This happened to me as well at a job in Canada, they tried to implement a policy where employees have to pay them if we are late for work, and the pay they wanted would be higher than what they paid employees(us), which of course, the employees wouldn’t get anyway, since they were late. We also had to buy our uniforms in part
Japan 🇯🇵 had learned about terrible American workplace culture and somehow made it worse. No kidding American workplace culture is awful. (Legally in America, paid days off don't exist.)
