I wear a (dark) suit and tie unless it's a self-consciously "hip" place (e.g. a marketing company, not dudebro bullshit) in which case I wear a (dark) suit and no tie.

Move to management, work there for several years gaining responsibility and trust, then gently caress them in the rear end by leaving at a critical time. If they ask why remind them of this episode.

Penisface posted:Yes, it's true that there are different rules for foreigners here, but the way the japanese do things, communicate and solve problems is in my experience (2 years so far) still quite different and will take getting used to. Sometimes the pace of work can seem absolutely glacial for things you *know* can be achieved much faster. And being outside the etiquette rules can also be stifling (especially when you don't know all of them) because you can miss out on important information or communication suffers because you can't get a straight answer from someone who sees you as higher status and is afraid to give you uncomfortable news. The problem with smashing Asian behavioral norms is, an hour later, you want to smash norms again. Schadenboner fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Feb 19, 2018 |
