Current Events > You are now a salaryman in Japan

(+) Yeah! (+)

In Japan, a salaryman (, sararman) is a salaried worker. In Japanese popular culture, this is embodied by a white-collar worker who shows overriding loyalty and commitment to the corporation where he works.

Salarymen are expected to work long hours, to put in additional overtime, to participate in after-work leisure activities such as drinking, singing karaoke and visiting hostess bars with colleagues, and to value work over all else. The salaryman typically enters a company after graduating from college and stays with that corporation for the duration of his career.

How do you feel?

Do I have a cute Japanese wife?

Where is the woman I get to cheat on my wife with.

Kinda like those guys in Lost in Translation

Defenestration.

I suggest a way to make the office 40% more efficient. I have my role changed (to become a lone worker) as I am viewed as someone who is disharmonious to the company.

How do I escape to Gensokyo?

The thing about Japan is that they recognize how toxic their work culture is but refuse to do anything about it.

No. I am now Kiryu Kazuma, Fourth Chairman of the Tojo Clan.

Id be sad

No

I feel like I should develop a meaningful dependence on alcohol to start. Maybe use it to go up the ladder if possible.
