Japanese work day at a Japanese office for an average Japanese salaryman in a Tokyo office. Living in Japan and working in Japan is quite a unique experience. This is a day in the life of Japanese worker, Makoto, 27 years old who lives in a Tokyo 3-story house with his family. This Tokyo salaryman works in a small Tokyo office, but spends many of his Japan working hours traveling from client to client on the Tokyo trains. Makoto works for a company called Mobal and as many Japanese salarymen, he entered the company straight from a Japanese University and he plans to spend his entire salaryman career at the same company. That is the life in Japan for a salaryman. We take a look inside what it's like to work in a small Tokyo office as well as to visit clients throughout Tokyo city area. His job experiences maybe unique to his company, but fundamentally he is very much an average salaryman. He commutes by train everyday to get to work and has to ride his mama-chari bike to get to the train station from his home. This Tokyo salaryman life has him arriving to work early and working late. As a salaryman, Makoto receives a standard salary every month for all the long work hours. The Japanese office is also configured so his boss' desk is right in front of him, quite a Japanese style office working environment. This very average Japanese work day and work lifestyle showcases a true day in Japan work life.

Even kids in Japan don't have much freedom compared to other countries tbh. After school, they are forced to go to a club and stay there for an hour. Then after that, they have to go to a Juku until 9 because how they do in their final exams depends on what college they get into which determines the type of job they get for the rest of their life, not dissimilar to the Gao-Kao exam in China.

@BoopSnoot 4 года назад

Except its a legitimate question, as it appears he only really does a few hours of actual productive work a week. The rest is really just wasted. I'm on a team of efficiency consultants for struggling businesses, and this entire business model is fundamentally flawed. For many industries, we are now in fact encouraging work from home programs utilizing telepresence technology, with only important necessary meetings between staff with a clear defined agenda illustrated by powerpoint presentations that are archived on the cloud for later reference and construction and maintenance of a knowledge-base that makes integrating newhires much more fluid. We've found that through proper management and business model, each employee's measured productivity increases an average of 3 times while the employees are also happier and less stressed because even though they feel like they are doing less, they are actually doing more because hours of commuting time, useless meetings, too many managers compared to subordinates, etc. is taken out of their schedules. We also encourage a 4-day workweek with 10 hour shifts, with clearly defined KPIs for defining and measuring an employees productivity so that they don't waste time "looking busy" for appearances sake, and just ensure they get their work done and are also competing with their peers on the quarterly KPI review to see how they rank.

@BoopSnoot 4 года назад

@@dk4529 Most employees are happier to have the extra day off, while still achieving a 40 hour productive work week. The ultimate goal after all is profitability for shareholders in a highly competitive global landscape, and you will have to compete with the Chinese and Koreans working 70+hours at lower wages. 10 hours is also not as much as you may think, as its 7AM to 6PM, which is early enough and late enough for peak congestion to die down for those unable to telework. For those that can telework which is the preference whenever possible, the average hour travel time to and from the office is replaced with actual productivity. In exchange, every weekend is a three day weekend allowing more fruitful passtimes like traveling. We encourage a "work hard, play hard" mentality, so employees can party hardy all day Friday and Saturday if desired and take Sunday as a day for relaxation and recovery.

It’s true that mass murder does appear to be more common in the USA, however taken as a whole, the murder rates in poorer countries are much much higher. The culture in Japan seems to be much more introverted and focused on honour, so instead of killing each other, they prefer to kill them selves.

@goobsta8906 5 лет назад

Jim D Well, a few things I should touch on. First of all a majority of Japanese live with their parents well into their late 20s as oppose to moving out at 18 which is common in the west. Don’t know the reason for them living with with their parents for that long especially since a lot of times their financially independent. Only about 50% of Japanese own cars. That’s due to the fact that japan is a public transportation heavy country. A big chunk of the budget goes into PT. So commuting to work via train is extremely common. When I went to study in Osaka, driving to Tokyo took about 5 hours as oppose to taking a train there which was about 3 hours. So pt is quicker in a lot of cases. Last point is a lot of Japanese are single. Having a love life just isn’t Japan’s ball game for some reason. It does correlate to their low birth rate. In fact it’s very common to be a virgin well into your twenty’s. I think about 25% of Japanese 30 year olds are virgins too. So all that correlates somewhat to maybe why Makoto doesn’t have a partner Don’t be mistaken. This is a very common lifestyle for id say about 3/4 of japan’s population

This level of pressure where family time doesn't even exist in an average human life is down right satanic. There is no reason what so ever in the history of man kind does someone need to sacrifice their entire adult life to working 12 hours a day until the day they retired/die. This kind of cruelty is just going to exponentially add up generations after generations. As when the salaryman gets older and get to retired, he will become very disgruntled and seek out degeneracy to make up for the lost time during his youth....aka brothel, drugs, and domestic abuse. To the average sheep, this looks like "just another day in the life of" but to people like me, this is a serious problem. Wake the f up.

I feel bad for Makoto if he is reading these comments. I was in the situation where I had to commute 5 hours every day and work literally took all time from 8.30 a.m to 7.30 pm without commute. I would come home just to sleep. In that situation, people telling how bad it is and making fun of him are the last thing needed.

@@sato1707 ... Hallo Stian Sato. A lot of people in the Western world think that things are going bad because their cultures are being controlled by "globalist" forces. Would you say that there is something like that going on in Japan ? It would seem life there is a bit miserable (it doesn't matter if everything is clean and works like a clock, if the people are unhappy), and I would like to ask you, if you think that this situation is caused by outside forces, or if it is a natural evolution of the Japanese society.

@sato1707 3 года назад

@@thetruthwillsetyoufree112 Hello. It’s not like I’m an expert in these kinds of things, but I’ve heard many people talking about globalist forces (Chinese government) bribing the Japanese government to let the Chinese people in Japan. It has caused the corona situation in Japan which we’re going smoothly to get a lot worse and some areas in the Japanese cities has been “occupied” by Chinese people. I mean it’s probably a good thing for people with a globalistic mindset but since Japan has been a very nationalistic country, very many people are mad and are doubting the government. And regarding the thing about life in Japan. I would say it’s a natural evolution. The situation is changing and even now. Japan is trying prevent overworking by making new laws but it’s not working very well. For example: In Japan if you are at your workplace it’s hard for Japanese to leave the workplace even though their working time is over if your colleagues are still working. I know it might sound weird to some people but it’s just how it is. And even if you were to go home some companies might even have work for you at home. So the conclusion is that there are outside forces but it’s not because of them that people are working so much. And it all depends on where you work it’s not like all of the people work like this.
