[baconcat]

Japanese work society is fucked up something fierce-like …

 

[Kaarme]

It was presented so casually in the chapter that it doesn't even seem like something the mangaka just came up with for the sake of the plot.

 

[Dl00]

if I get no pay suspension and house arrest I'm done with that place, that's actually ridiculous

He did got paid tho for the suspension but only half of his normal salary.

He did got paid tho for the suspension but only half of his normal salary.

That's still fucked up.

I am glad I wasn’t the only person who immediately went to question what the fuck is that work suspension policy lol.
Actual nightmare over there in Japan whenever you see what most jobs are like.

 

[KarolOfGutovo]

Japanese social values are so far removed from western europeans that stuff like that doesn't turn up in stuff like manga just because it's like... it just exists, so why mention it? Usually irrelevant. Just like mentioning that healthcare is paid in US. Save for a few specific pieces of media it's irrelevant and never mentioned even though it's a large part of living there. Just, there is a lot of differences, and I ain't gonna pretend like I know even a considerable part of them.

Oh, workers can you stand it? Oh, tell me how you can. Will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man? Which side are you on, Which side are you on.

 

[ShinduPK4]

Yeah, I love Japan but I'd never be able to live there. Their work culture is toxic as fuck.

 

[whatever_man]

Is the house arrest during work suspension really a thing though? Can't find any mention of it anywhere on the web.

 

[baconcat]

Their work culture is toxic as fuck.

And literally kills, and not just the workers directly, through karoshi or suicide.

 

[KyoN007]

Wait , reading the comments here that is actually a thing? Thought this was just plot convenience

 

[SSRBReader]

You can’t leave your own home because your company says so? Is that really a thing in Japan?

I know there are companies in Japan that handle quitting your job for you because of the ridiculous amount of paperwork and the lengthy processes involved.

So maybe this in-home suspension thing isn’t far from reality? I haven’t heard any of it happening in real life, as far as I'm aware.
