- 130 - 日本のサラリーマンは他者に対して自らのアイデンティティを説明する必要がない
For many salarymen in Japan, the important thing is the company they work for. When meeting a stranger at work, once business cards are exchanged, there is no need to explain yourself further. Company people don’t have to explain themselves. At first glance, this may seem like a very easy way out, but it can have many negative effects later on.

- 128 - 渡り職人ならぬ渡り営業マンの話
Skill supremacy creates a race for survival between the weak and the strong. In the old Japanese companies, employees were not evaluated solely on the basis of their work. Social interaction and popularity were also necessary for advancement. In the future, Japanese companies will also begin to evaluate their employees based on the supremacy of their skills. However, it is questionable whether the results of complicated office work can be fairly evaluated.

- 126 - 仕事の意味が失われているのが現代のサラリーマンの悲劇である
In today’s Japan, the meaning of work is harder to find. As industries have become more sophisticated and work has become more segmented and sophisticated, it seems that office workers tend to lose their spirit through their work. In the past, people simply had to work to eat, but as society has matured, each individual must consider the meaning of work.

- 123 - 転職してすぐはボーナス期間である
I talk about what to watch out for after you change jobs. In particular, there are a few things to keep in mind about relationships. People around you may be kind and supportive during the initial period of your new job, but you must not let your guard down. You need to learn the names of the people around you as soon as possible and work hard to build relationships.
Tue, 05 Nov 2024 - 11min - 122 - のんびり働きたい人はリードタイムが長い商品を扱っている会社を選びなさい
Work in the world can be divided into two types. One is work that requires speed, and the other is work that doesn’t require much speed. People with a laidback personality are not suited to jobs that require speed. In this article, I talk about a job that doesn’t require speed that I have experienced.
Mon, 04 Nov 2024 - 13min - 121 - 成人式に対する違和感 Discomfort with the coming-of-age ceremony
In Japan, there is a coming-of-age ceremony(成人式) . I did not attend that ceremony. I thought it was a silly ceremony. This ceremony is an important ceremony for many ordinary Japanese people, and Japanese people who can honestly participate in the coming of age ceremony without any discomfort would be contributing to Japanese society and economy.

- 116 - 会社で就労しながら職探しをする場合、面従腹背して上司に悟らせない方がいい
If a salaried worker is looking for a job, it is better not to leave the company. This is because if you quit your company, you will not receive the monthly salary you used to receive and at the same time, your talent value in the job market will decrease. There is an old saying that goes “Many kiss the hand they wish to cut off (面従腹背)”. Your boss must not know about your job search until you have received a job offer.
Tue, 29 Oct 2024 - 12min - 115 - 転職後は周囲の人の仕事観に合わせるチューニングが必要である
Different people have different views of work. In Japan, there's also freedom of thought. However, it is best to avoid expressing your views on work to those around you after you change jobs. This is because your boss may have a different view of work than you do. As with politics, differences in values can easily lead to conflicts, and you should be cautious about topics such as your views on work because you will not have your own supporters in the company immediately after you change jobs.

- 113 - 高等教育を受けた人間は殆ど例外なく知識偏重になる Almost without exception, people with higher education are knowledge-oriented
It is not surprising that simply storing knowledge doesn’t produce anything of value. However, I believe that people today, who have received higher education, have a tendency to value books. Being all theory and no action will just make you big-headed. I have focused on Japanese chimpira and find a certain value in their empiricism. In order to prevent intellectuals from becoming over-read, it is good to appreciate the illiteracy of chimpira from time to time.
Sat, 26 Oct 2024 - 09min - 112 - なぜサラリーマンは成長しなければならないのか Why do salarymen need to make progress?
In the Japanese corporate world, the word “growth” is rather favorably perceived and used by people. This simple affirmation of growth has led to a variety of problems for both individuals and companies in Japan. In order to realize a sustainable society in the future, I believe it is necessary to question the concept of growth at least once.
Fri, 25 Oct 2024 - 10min - 111 - 社畜的な働き方が美談として語られる問題点について
In today’s Japan, the way of working of furious company employees has come to be criticized. The Japanese government has revised law and also the Japanese people are becoming more and more aware of it. Unfortunately, however, there is still a lot of discourse in the media that praises the old, furious way of working of Japanese salarymen.

- 105 - 職人の暗黙知は簡単に伝承されない The tacit knowledge of craftsmen is not easily passed on to the younger generation.
The high level of Japanese craftsmanship is well known throughout the world. It takes a long time to become a full-fledged craftsman. It is sometimes pointed out that in today’s fast-paced world of change, it is impossible to keep up with the times by slowly nurturing traditional Japanese style craftspeople. In this episode, I take a look at tacit knowledge and mention the difficulties of passing on the tacit knowledge of craftsmen.

- 102 - 日系企業で求められるコミュニケーションスキルとは何なのか What communication skills are required of salarymen in Japanese companies?
Communication skills are extremely important in today’s Japan. In particular, there are a number of Japanese businessmen and women who praise communication skills. However, communication skills are a vague concept, and what it means varies from society to society. In this episode, I discuss the communication skills required by Japanese companies.

- 100 - ギブアンドテイクを相手に求めるのは偽善である
The concept of “give and take” is generally widely accepted in Japanese society. I believe it is hypocritical to ask for something in return for doing something kind to another person. However, if you fail to reciprocate a kindness, you may be considered ungrateful, and in some cases, you may be sanctioned. This is something to keep in mind when working for a Japanese company.

- 98 - サラリーマンは他人に勝ちたいという気持ちを捨てることが出来れば楽になる The Path to Enlightenment for Salaried Workers
Salaried workers are forced to compete with others. Some people may not want to compete with others. However, if a fellow employee rises to the top faster than you, you may feel jealousy or envy. You will also be happy if your work is highly valued by your boss or clients. If you can’t abandon such ambitions, not to seek recognition from others, and reach a state of enlightenment, life at the company becomes much easier.

- 96 - 日系企業で早朝出勤をすると上司から高い評価をもらえるかどうかについて
For many years, the practice early morning work has existed in many Japanese companies. No matter how early in the morning a worker comes to work, that does not count as overtime pay. Nevertheless, there are workers in Japan who willingly come to work early in the morning. I hypothesize that there may be a relationship between early morning work and career advancement. I tested this hypothesis that the company I worked for in the past.

- 94 - 日本の大学は就職予備校になっている Japanese universities have become job placement prep schools.
These days, Japanese university students seem to start job hunting much earlier after entering university. Compared to university students in the past, today’s university students do not have the luxury of time, and they probably have to be overly conscious of adapting to cooperate society from an early stage. This is the tragedy of today’s students and leads to their studies being dwarfed by the logic of corporate society.

- 92 - 日系企業のサラリーマンに求められる適度な生意気さ Moderate cockiness required of Japanese company salaried workers
You need to get along with the people around you in a Japanese company. This is because if you are not well liked, you will not be able to rise in a company. It is not enough if you work diligently and sincerely without asserting yourself to avoid being disliked by others. It is a very difficult technique to master, you will be able to further refine your ability to get along in a Japanese company.
Sat, 05 Oct 2024 - 12min - 91 - 国際交流に関心が無い日本人とどう仕事で付き合っていくか How to work with Japanese who are not interested in international exchange
It is not so difficult to work with Japanese who have experience studying or working abroad. These Japanese know through experience that there are differences in culture and values between Japan and other countries. There are some Japanese who have no interest in foreign countries at all. The theme of this episode is about how such Japanese and foreigners should work together.

- 88 - 長時間労働を擁護するサラリーマンがまだ日本には一定数いる There are still salarymen who advocate long working hours.
In the past, Japan had many salarymen who were called “corporate warriors” or “economic animals”. They are willing to work long hours and sacrifice their lives. As a result of the various problems caused by long working hours, there has been a movement to correct this way of working in Japanese society as a whole. Nevertheless, they are still companies in Japan where long working hours and unpaid overtime are still the norm. In this episode, I consider the causes of this problem.

- 86 - 社長は営業マンの個性を認めてあげないといけない The president needs to respect the individuality of the sales person.
There’s a stereotype of selling sales person in the world. There are qualities such as cheerful personality, diplomacy, and glibness. However, each person has a unique personality and it is natural that everyone is different. Therefore, company presidents should respect the unique personalities of their sales people.

- 82 - 会社に洗脳されたフリをせよ Pretend you have been brainwashed by the company.
Some Japanese companies have terrible corporate cultures. There are companies in Japan where employees are so closely and thoroughly managed that they cannot work independently. In such companies, the president abuses his absolute power and his ideals are imposed on the employees. You may want to change jobs immediately. However, you may be faced with the drama of having to make a living and not being able to change jobs. At such times, a usual approach is to pretend that you have been brainwashed by the company.
Wed, 25 Sep 2024 - 14min - 81 - 総務に向いている人の特徴 Characteristics of a suitable person for general affairs
At first glance, the work of the general affairs department appears to be easy. This is because, unlike sales people, the employees at general affairs department do not have to be nagged by the bosses about sales quotas. However, the job of general affairs can be a tough one, and some people have the right personality for it.
Tue, 24 Sep 2024 - 09min - 80 - エリートばかりの会社に入ってコンプレックスを感じるより、自分の実力以下の会社に入社して優越感に浸った方がいい
It is better to join a company that is below your level and have a sense of superiority than to work for a company full of elites and feel an inferiority complex. In the company, employees are evacuated based on relative evaluation. If the employees around you are not good enough, you will be highly valued by your boss, even if your own abilities are not that great. Conversely, if the employees around you are better than you, it is difficult to be highly valued within that organization.
Mon, 23 Sep 2024 - 09min - 79 - 会社の飲み会は30分で飽きてしまう I get bored after 30 minutes of company drinking.
Company drinking parties are fun for the first 30 minutes after they start. This is because I can eat some unusual food, drink a little alcohol, and enjoy the extraordinary experience. But if I stay at the drinking party for longer than that, I will get bored. This is because I have nothing in common with anyone else.

- 72 - 職人になればコミュニケーションの努力をせずに済むか Should craftsmen not have to work on improving their communication skills?
Affection has nothing to do with the outcome of the work itself. Therefore, some people who are good at their jobs can be very arrogant and pompous. On the other hand, in today’s Japanese society, people are expected by society to have high communication skills. It has become such an excessive demand that it is detrimental to human diversity. I believe that people who can do their jobs and are not unfriendly can be the ones who preserve diversity.

This may seem obvious, but one must be careful because hierarchical relationships are especially strict in Japanese companies.
