Why is this in memes this is just sad
Japan is really inhuman to others and their own people. It’s disgusting how much bullying and abuse they hide behind the honour facade
their work culture looks like hell
American work culture isn’t that different. Long hours and barely any vacation days. Only pay is better in the US.
what’s the legal minimum vacation days in jobs in the U.S.? here in the UK we get around 28 days a year
Lol
D:
There is no federal vacation requirement. The fed doesn’t even require breaks. It defines what is/isn’t considered vacation, sick time, breaks, etc… But it doesn’t actually impose any requirements for those things. It simply defines what employers must do if they choose to provide those things. And lots of states essentially just went “We don’t want to make any labor laws of our own because that would be communism, so just follow whatever the fed says.” So lots of states have basically zero requirements for things like breaks or vacation/sick/personal time.
Lots of national companies will impose company policies to follow whatever the strictest state requirement is. Simply so they don’t have to deal with training managers differently in those more protected states; They can simply create one training manual for the entire company. So employees in those unprotected states still usually get things like breaks or vacation simply due to company policy. But that doesn’t mean they’re legally entitled to those things, it simply means the company doesn’t want to get Department of Labor complaints in the more protected states.
As far as I’m aware, there is no federal law regulating paid vacation minimums. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average number of paid vacation days per year is 11. I think that some states require some minimum, but that’s about it.
0 (zero). No, that’s not a joke. Yes, I’m serious.
:(
Wait till you hear how much mandatory paid maternal/paternal leave they’re ‘entitled’ to. I’ll save you the time, also zero. But at least they get 12 weeks, unpaid.
Seriously - at least Japanese people go out to drink and bitch about it. Americans fucking flex on how much more they work than 40h a week like it’s something to be proud of.
So does US work culture to me. Not as dystopian as the Japanese one, but not too far off.
yeah tipping culture and some establishments in the US justifying low pay because of it is pretty bad there
I’d start with “sick days” and “holiday” being the same mostly and seen as “benefits”.
SICK DAYS AS “BENEFITS”? D:
Many companies count any day you aren’t at work as “paid time off”, so if you’re sick (or have given birth the other day and have the audacity not to show up for your shift immediately), those days are being deducted from your holiday budget until that has run out. Then, your sick days are just unpaid and that’s that.
Furthermore, there is no mandatory amount of such days that I know of.
Yep, it’s pretty bad. It’s changing though, just slowly.
I understand your point, but to me it feels like progress that the company banned late night work at all.
Japan has a very conservative business culture, so ever a small change is a step forward.
that’s fair
I miss r/sadposting
Just depressive memes. I liked it. I didn’t, but I also did.

Who would have thought? Not me!
Definitely not the Japanese government
Amazing.
