You should care if it is a cultural thing, since it makes sense why you can’t just avoid issues that might happen at work even when you yourself are on vacation.
Just as in real life, it is not necessarily easy to just switch jobs, and depending on your position at the company you can’t go incognito during vacations. Also in Japan it is quite common for seniors to take responsibility if a junior employee makes mistakes.
Like i said i dont care if it is a cultural thing, all families have their fair share of problems regardless of culture, and japan having high rate of divorces, a work ethics that literally overwork people to the grave only adds to the point that using common sense and simple logic to realize when work is harming your life and your familie`s is perfectly possible.
culture is not an excuse, it is an avoidable issue, it is not easy? then what weights more your family or the inconvenience of finding a better job?
i know i am oversimplifying some points and that everybody has circumstances but what bothers me is that the author makes this scenario when 2 divorced adults fall again in the work over family trope and neither is capaple of self awareness but their children are the ones justifying their choices.
Bro i have seen this several times and it feels like authors are like lowkey indoctrinating readers into thinking that is just the way it is and is nobodys fault.
