Shame culture. Pure and simple.

We need more shame culture here, too many sloots
Why don't they just become NEET?
they want to make japan greater, they love their job, its in their culture, to state otherwise without being japanese is racys
They had to in order to not starve to death after we firebombed them back to the stone age. By the time it was no longer necessary it became a tradition, which is a difficult tick to remove from a very conservative traditional society with a very few and ever dwindling number of elders who remember the way things used to be.
Bullshit.
White collar work is a trap anywhere you go. It's just particularly bad in Japan because of their culture.
>"Working harder due to less jobs."
Fuck that sounds like what my generation is going through right now.
They have a major NEET problem as a result of their work ethic.
Voluntary overtime wouldnt be counted here. Thats what Japanese salary men are expected to do.
>Greece
I don't trust this
NYers sleer on the MetroNorth all the time. Same thing. Stop picking on the men and women that pay 4 gibs faggot.
Join a union desu
>jew in thumbnail
not clicking that propaganda
Greeks work hard. Then their government pisses it all away and/or fucks things up because their government is literally a nonfunctional 3rd world shithole.
t. greek-american
"at least we're not turks"
I worked on this documentary Salary Man
I thought they had guilt culture over there.
is that a circle of salt so snails dont eat him?
they do, the entire country is just nerds and neets, nothing in between
>Union
>Japan
Top Kek desu. Now back to filing papers.
They are passed out because they went drinking with colleagues after spending the last hours at the office surfing the internet, waiting for the boss to leave. They aren't really working all the time, at least not the majority. Just because it is regarded as a courtesy to stay late if you want to make a career doesn't mean they are actually working all that time.
>join your local organized crime outfit!
no thanks i want to live to see 2020
>Mexicans are laz...
Guilt comes from shame.
>Then their government pisses it all away and/or fucks things up because their government is literally a nonfunctional 3rd world shithole.
Oligarchical nepotism.............. be careful. Greek boomers
Also the architecture is far from 3rd world and quite stylish.
Culture
I believe over 40% of Japanese millennials are NEETs.
The government is seriously worried about a workforce shortage which is why automation is such a big thing in Japan these days.
Lol
A more collective mindset in a society that sets a high value on hard work (even if not effective or productive).
>people still wonder why their birthrate is declining
>people still wonder why mgtow is a thing
Humans aren't designed to deal with a vast majority of modern day stimulation. We're collectively going to stress ourselves out of existence and into extinction. Take note of the warning signs, relax more, save money, quit porn, avoid whores, boost test, trust your intuition and stop falling for the contribute to society meme. Protect your own ass because the ride's probably going to get intense in the not too distant future.
A significant portion of the Greek workforce are government bureaucrats who get paid to sit at their desks and breathe air. If you had a job like that you'd work overtime too.
No wonder people in the US are getting so fat.
>Greeks work hard
kek
>Lets complain endlessly because muh feels
>Solution proposed
>Hurr hurr
Thats why your country is nearing developing nation status. Congratulations.
Mexicans probably have a four hour siesta every day which is counted as part of the working hours.
ooooooooh scary the union is going to put you away for wage theft - those meanies!
>ancap
opinion discarded
if you refuse to work overtime you're being shamed
if you don't drink until your liver bust with your boss you're being shamed
if you don't go to every business party you're shamed
stupid as fuck
asians are not people
they're androids stuffed with straw and have the emotional capacity of an ant
The simple answer: Giri.
None of the other asians have this problem. It's a cultural cancer, not race.
still mass produced androids completely emotionally alien to us
nice digit famalam
it literally said that it was also happening in china and south korea
yes they do. Asian culture everywhere is either joyless nerd nation or third world shithole
Broken people are still people, if they were androids they wouldn't be dying off.
Didn't used to. The cancer has spread.
soon you will realize the importance of working smarter, not harder, in a society.
look maybe you're asian and thats why you're defending the robots but remember you're not like them, you had an american life
niggers are still people too
just incredibly shitty ones
Nah I just put myself into other peoples shoes too easily.
I pity them a lot but its too late for most of them
for them it's their national pride, there's no turning back
the one that killed themselves actually had a soul, thoughts and prayers with them
>amerilard
Speaks for itself.
The Japanese can just become NEET and live off their savings while playing MMO games. There is even a new anime show based on this concept.
If you passed out on the street in America, your wallet would be gone the next day.
No, this is businessman passed out probably after long session of "nomunication" (drinking + communication like company party).
No boss wants you to work yourself to death. That is bad for everyone. Also why we have many, many family holidays here and workers really encouraged to take them. We have another holiday tomorrow, actually, and I will be with my kids at their athletic competition.
Also... I am at work right now, bullshitting on Sup Forums. So stressful!
Now I'm done with coffee, and want to get back to settling my typespecs in a project I am working on -- and this is actually very interesting work making a large distributed AI system. I WANT to do this because it is fucking awesome!
So silly this idea about "Japanese are robots until die". We think opposite of many Western people today: "young generation in America are mentally weak who just play video game and ignore real life until die".
Get off your ass and do something productive and awesome. If you have shit job at Starbucks, just work there while you educate yourself enough to do something productive and awesome in another job.
Slacker culture is major natural selection event for you.
They are insects.
They've been raised to overwork themselves since children. 1 day off a week at school, 2 week summer break. And the results are test scores all over the place. Where 20-50% scores are common place.
>educate yourself enough to do something productive and awesome in another job.
So instead of earning a tiny bit of money, we earn a little more and owe more than we can ever pay off. And that's at best, assuming we never have medical problems. The american system has fucked normal americans sideways because the rich ones told them to.
This is all bullshit. Japan has some of the best working hours among developed countries along with national holidays almost every month. From my experience most jap guys get fucking wasted after work because they are single and don't have to get bitched at by a wife for being late. You are bound to find a person that's been over worked but when it happens its a fucking huge story over there because of the low death rates among the working youth. If you spend a night in Tokyo about 3/4s of the people at bars are going to be typical office workers, they just like to have a good time
>Japanese males
>doing anything for pussy
>implying
They don’t even want free no effort pussy sponsored by the government
I did not say go to one of your crazy universities to learn how to be a professional complainer communist class person.
I said educate yourself. I never went to university, but I study much and am working as a concurrent systems engineer. There is not even university course for the field I work in right now, only research billets and a few people like me in industry.
For highest end of tech school is useless. For good foundation in tech traditional university hard sciences are important, but can learn this sort of thing through working if you find a very good company that trains internally OR if you spend your free time away from shitty Starbucks job studying and working on projects instead of playing video games and watching porn.
>Greece is the third hardest working country in the world
pay denbts
they're just inefficient as fuck these goddamn gooks. long breaks, slow speed, honour and respect and shit instead of just getting the job fucking done.
germanic efficiency beat their asses hands down, they just like to whine like bitches
they work less hours than we are LOL
Also, they don't sit so long at work, they just don't go home to look like they are working for some fuckd up reason, kek culture
>forced to drink with co-workers
Ha! The average weeb here would be fucking eaten alive by these slant-eyed turbo normies.
>why cant they become NEETs
They deep down dream of NEET life but cant because if they stopped working NEETs abroad and the lucky few in their country would go batshit insane and cause ww3 from lack of games and anime they produce. They know the weight of the world being in stable balance is on their shoulders and bear it with honor.
ofc
I can't handle sake at all for some reason, I'd be killed by the first shot.
Get your dumb trendy bullshit out of here
Hey congrats, it wasn't half bad
That's why Japan isn't a third world shithole they work hard doing meaningful jobs.
Other third world country denizens work as little as possible to conserve energy and just get by.
Mexicans sitting on their ass selling oranges or whatever vendor bullshit 14 hours a day isn't fucking work. Same goes for Greece when they're all sitting in their tourist shops 24 hours a day doing nothing. Bull fucking shit.
Waaaaaah I can't succeed at life so I will blame the system!
>that statistic
what a joke
its more like
>hours in the office
>doing nothing
Worked with a lot of Mexicans in the restaurant industry. They run circles around blacks and most whites. By far the hardest workers. Also, problem solvers. The only downside is the knifefights, I wish I was joking...
>y
What is that around him? Salt? Is he trying to protect himself from demons?
The system is a fucking meat grinder, but my own problems aren't entirely because of it.
>NowThis
Kill yourself
Sage goes in all fields
58 hours a week.
NBD.
Pussies.
¿Qué?
>That's why Japan isn't a third world shithole they work hard doing meaningful jobs.
Shoving papers and doing bullshit cubicle slave work?
>Mexicans sitting on their ass selling oranges or whatever vendor bullshit 14 hours a day isn't fucking work.
Welding, machining, plumbing, and construction are.
No, the hours worked are without breaks. The jobs where they let you rest add an extra hour to your schedule. I'm from Playa del Carmen and believe that the most strenuous and abusive jobs are in the tourism sector. (sorry my bad english xd)
It's a 50/50, half of them do, and are anime nerds who live in their parents basement, the other half are shown in the video.
Note this documentary is about "businessmen" meaning they do jack shit but push paperwork and make phone calls.
It really is no different than Sup Forums spending 18 hours a day on Sup Forums, in my opinion.
Truth is... after ww2 US businesses converted Japanese work culture into some kind of wage slavery thing with the Kaizen strategy.
>Mexican tourism
>mfw mexico probably gets more tourists then America
You ever hear foreigners talk about wanting to visit America? Then again our shitposting presence on Sup Forums isn't helping our reputation.
good joke
Based. I wish I had that much willpower.
If there was only a was we could collectively help japan. Maybe by teaching them how to have some fun and work a bit less? Or maybe how to fix their wages/salary.
The average work week in North America is 40+ hours.
The average work week in Japan is 60-100 hours.
shame and guilt are entirely differently you cancuck.
Guild it is purely a Western characteristic.
