Comment on Bandai Namco reportedly tries to bore staff into quitting, skirting Japan’s labor laws
TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 2 months agoNot to sound too Korean… but, that’s kinda the social repercussion of electing war criminals, then the children of war criminals, and the grandchildren of war criminals to lead your country.
Modern Japan is a weird poly-sci experiment examining what would happen if you took guns away from a fascist government.

It’s not that different in Korea though. If you don’t work for Samsung or SK Group you are lower class. And your old friends who do work for those Chaebols will stop associating with you.

I mean, that’s just factually incorrect. South Korea has a fairly large manufacturing economy, a lot of my family are shipwrights and make really decent money. The other half of my family works for banks and for the government, none of them are considered low class.
South Korea does have a pretty brutal work regiment, but they also have very aggressive trade unions who aren’t afraid to go on massive and often violent strikes.
According to who? I mean you may stop seeing them as often, but that’s just because the work culture often extends out of office. It’s pretty traditional to go out drinking or eating with your coworkers, but that doesn’t mean people stop associating with their friends who don’t work with them.
