Work 4days then fuck for 3 days straight to see if we can make more workers.
Hard working? Depends who you talk about, laborers like factory and construction workers sure and those kind of workers actually work pretty normal hours. But the stereo typical salaryman, who we all think of when we imagine an overworked Japanese worker, they don’t work hard. Japanese office workers are the most inefficient workers you will meet. Yes they work long hours but they need those to actually get shit done. Most of their day is wasted on socializing and performative work like wasteful meetings and basically just pretending to look busy.
They’re also burnt out just getting to and from work/home.
Some sleep at their office to avoid commuting. While others will rent wall-coffins.
Imagine the efficency increase by removing all thay extra meeting and social bs. I wonder where else this was done…o yeah work from home.
Knowing Japan, it’ll formally be 4 10-hour days rather than 4 8-hour days. Though in a culture where it is considered unacceptable to leave before your boss does, whether that’ll translate into people spending an extra 2 hours in the office is uncertain.
Government: Have you tried having sex instead?
Russian government: have you tried having sex at work?
Hopefully that doesn’t turn to 4 days with 24 hours each.
I would also like to try a 4-day workweek.
That’s a dramatic change. Don’t they have 6 day workweeks? Or was I told the wrong info?
It’s max 40 hours a week before it goes into overtime, but lots of companies do expect unpaid overtime.
The nice thing is that once you’re a salaried employee it’s almost impossible to fire you without extensive work on the company’s side. People only do the unpaid overtime if they want to advance in the company. If you’re in a comfortable spot you can just not do it.
Isn’t there this whole culture where it the boss doesn’t leave, neither do you? Even if you just sleep at your desk?
Not only do they work Saturdays, in a lot of companies they work Saturdays for free.
Wtf
IIRC, 5 days is the legal limit, but there’s a culture of unpaid overtime.
