Some Japanese people go alone to eat barbecued meat. Some restaurants in Japan specialize in yakiniku for one person. This episode attempts to analyze contemporary Japanese culture from the perspective of solo yakiniku. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座 ⁠https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegn...

In recent years, many Japanese companies have begun allowing their employees to telecommute. While some employees are happy to work from home, some art not. In a traditional company, work approach and process are also subject to evaluation. But when telecommuting is fully realized, the only way to be evaluated is by the results of the work. This is the cause of employee anxiety. ------------------...

There is a Japanese word that says “go for it” (頑張れ). While this word is basic, it can be considered rude in some situations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座 ⁠https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng⁠ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Japanese businessmen especially value numbers. In business negotiations and meetings, businesspeople who can memorize numbers and immediately present them look smart. The problem is that the numbers may be false, but in business, you win by saying so, and if you list the numbers loudly and proudly, they are somehow persuasive. -----------------------------------------------------------------------...

Working as a company employee is tiring anyway. After a day’s work, I don’t want to do anything, especially after eating dinner. When to study or do activities for oneself is an important theme for office workers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座 ⁠https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng⁠ ---...

In this episode I consider the benefits of the modern corporate employee. How much benefits do they need?

I will tell you the word “bureiko (無礼講)”uttered by superiors to subordinates at drinking parties in Japan. When your supervisor says, “Tonight, anything goes.”, do not take his or her word for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座 ⁠https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng⁠ -----------------...

There are several names for workers in Japan, depending on the type of employment. The main difference between regular and irregular employment is whether or not the term is fixed, but other issues exist as well. Ultimately, the issue is related to each person’s way of life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者...

I have always looked at self-conscious people with cold eyes. At work they are eager to show off their efforts to their superiors. But now my opinion of them has changed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座 ⁠https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng⁠ ----------------------------------------------...

If you are too sensitive or think too much, working for a Japanese company is not for you. The key to working for a Japanese company is to be insensitive. In other words, you need to learn to be insensitive like old farts in order to work in a company for a long time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のため...

Working in a company, conflicts with others are difficult to avoid. If you don’t assert yourself for fear of confrontation with others, you may be branded as incompetent. However, there are some people who are not outspoken but still have a place in the company. Are such people not estranged from others because they have virtues? I don’t know the truth. Anyway, I envy those types of people. ------...

The concept of work-life balance is quite prevalent in modern Japan. Many Japanese people have realized the harmful effects of working too much. However, there are some pundits and business people in Japan who are not so keen on the idea of work-life balance. Here are my thoughts on this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネ...

Some Japanese businessmen deliberately speak in difficult Japanese. Do they think that using difficult vocabulary makes them look smarter? The truth is unknown, but using excessively difficult vocabulary makes it difficult to understand the essence of things. I believe that the truth is simple. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●...

One of the manager’s tasks is to motivate subordinates. Subordinates are human beings, and sometimes they are motivated to work, and sometimes they are not. When a subordinate is unmotivated, if he or she receives appropriate words from the supervisor, those words can be a catalyst for the subordinate to become more capable of doing his or her job. -------------------------------------------------...

Sales are always turned down by customers. If you have to memorize all the rejections from customers in your mind, it will be difficult to continue your job as a salesperson. If a customer rejects you, it is better to give up and try to sell to another customer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料...

When I was a student, I viewed the students around me as dichotomy. Looking back now, it was a very simplistic view of the world. In the corporate world, people of any character are allowed to exist as long as they do not deny the values of business people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマ...

You may have to keep in touch with the general affairs officer even if you leave company. Often you will need documents related to your previous job after you change jobs, so you will have to contact them. It is a salaried employee’s way of getting around that is to treat them with as much respect as possible. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

No matter how drunk Japanese salarymen get after drinking at a bar, they still come to work the next day. Even in meetings, they do not show any signs of sleepiness. This is a sign of their professionalism and determination as salarymen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座 ⁠https://my16...

The theme of this issue is Japanese salarymen and sake. In recent years, some people, especially young people, have started to not like to drink, but many Japanese salarymen still like to drink. This is related to Japanese culture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座 ⁠https://my162p.com...

In Japan, some people try to become a different personality when they move from junior high school to high school. In Japanese, this is called high school debut (高校デビュー). In this episode, I consider what it means for people to try to become someone else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メ...

Many businessmen pretend to be busy in the world. If you are not busy, you may be considered useless by others. But I believe that to be busy is shallow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座 ⁠https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng⁠ ---------------------------------------------------------------...

Many Japanese people take their hobbies too seriously to engage in them casually. In other words, there are people who think that they must strive to be the best even in their hobbies. It is better not to take the continuation of a hobby too seriously, but to just take up a hobby as you feel like it and stop when you get bored with it. --------------------------------------------------------------...

In Japanese companies, supervisors still sometimes verbally abuse their subordinates, saying, “if you don’t like it, just quit!”. I think this statement is wrong. Because there are people in the world who cannot quit a company even if they want to.

Most of the time, hoodlums have no ideology. They act as if they are anti-establishment as a pose, but in most cases they are thoughtless, especially in Japan. Japanese school education doesn’t foster a critical spirit in children. Even when they become businessmen, there are people who are highly skilled at their jobs, but few of them have proper ideology.

In Japanese society, the notion that one should not cause trouble for others still exists strongly. This mindset has ruined Japanese society and caused the level of happiness among Japanese people to decline.
