They expect to own you until the day you die.
Interviewed for a job there. They asked how long I would want to work for them. Told them I’d absolutely love to work for them as long as they can host my visa, and I’d love to even become a citizen.
That… Was not the right answer.
The interview was over from them on.

I’m so at my wits end with hiring managers that I would just email “okay so what was the right answer??”

I don’t know the full story, but that is apparently somewhat true. That’s why you’ll hear in games and manga that someone in a fairly auspicious position will get punished by cleaning toilets or something.

I see. That’s incredibly based then?

Yeah, no, when someone’s secluded, they’re often put in an empty room without so much as a window, and given literally nothing to do, but sit there. Can’t even have a phone out. It’d drive me mad enough to quit, and the same is true of lots of people.

This would be considered power harassment in Japan and you can sue for it. Companies try to do it anyways though.

Not legal in countries where you cant outright fire people. You have to get them tasks. No phone out wouldnt be enforceable unless they sit you in a bunker with no connection.

It being illegal doesn’t stop people from doing it.

Is it? It’s your boss’ duty to provide you with work and they cannot dock your pay (outside of special circumstances) if they don’t have work for you, but they can absolutely pay you to sit around and drink coffee in case work comes around.

In Japan, thats the whole point. The business will do this to make you quit instead of them firing you. They have whack employment laws.

Sounds good in a way because you can take as long as you like applying for other jobs without losing your current income.

Aren’t they given a computer at least to “work” on

Nope. The same happened In Austria with our ex-state owned telecommunication business; because it was state owned before privatization, they had quite a lot of nearly unfireable workers outside of extreme circumstances - state businesses often used “pragmatization” to secure people they thought weren’t replaceable and to provide those people with security with a bit of a lower pay grade (at least it started that way - later on this system was ripe with corruption, using “pragmatization” as a bonus for people who were loyal to whomever).
Those workers often had pretty high salaries in comparison to the newly arriving employees, accumulating pay raises for the last 20-30 years. And they didn’t want to leave their jobs, because many knew that their skillset was severely outdated and they would struggle to get another job at 50 years of age. The new owners had no use for them because they simply were too expensive and the large amount of unfireable personell dragged stock prices down.
So these workers had to come in every workday, just to sit in an nearly empty room for 8 hours - no work, no entertainment, nothing. Even the most lethargic person gets depression, anxiety and desperation after a few years of that. If you stopped coming in, they actually had leverage to get rid of you. If you called in sick, i heard of quite a lot of cases where they tried to make sure that they really were sick, because if not, it would be a fireable offense.
One of my uncles was one of the people just sitting in the “Pool”, as it was called. He was NOT happy, but he was one of the few people who actually still had some useful skills even in a modernized telecom company, and later on was able to at least get assigned some normal work, but most people who were sitting in the “pool” surrendered sooner or later when getting offered a golden handshake.

The entire not leaving until your boss leaves (who also must leave after her boss leaves) leads to a chain where only the CEO gets off first, leading to the really toxic 14 hour days. At least layoffs don’t seem to be as prevalent there.

WHY IS NOBODY CREATING MORE MEAT FOR THE MACHINE!?!?!?
Politicians unable to get people to make fuck trophies because they can't afford crap, have to slave away until they're 70, return to a shoe box as a home, breathe polluted air from birth to death, and survive a burning planet.
No idea why people don't want to pump out more than 2.1 units per woman. It's a total mystery!
DeepRoots@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
I agree with you but people who call other humans fuck trophies or crotch goblins are usually just the fucking worst most insufferable people ever.
atro_city@fedia.io 13 hours ago
My entire message is filled with hyperbole and you go "all the other stuff is fine, but I draw the line at 'fuck trophy'". You're the type of person who will break up a peaceful demonstration because somebody wore the wrong clothes that day.
The enemy of good, the friend of perfect.

People living in significantly worse conditions have historically produced significantly more children.
But the modern post-industrial lifestyle discourages people from having children primarily because of easy access to birth control. That means you can fuck without risk of having babies. For young people, this is a no-brainer. Condom use, UIDs, and hormonal birth control have tanked teenage/early-20s birth rates everywhere it has been introduced. Combine this with good health care, globally, and many people no longer fear they will lose half their children to some infant malady or childhood accident. Low Child Mortality -> Lower Propensity to Have Kids.
If you want higher rates of reproduction in your population, you need younger people having babies. And you need more people convinced that the kids they do have won’t live to see adulthood.
Say what you will about the current Trump government, but we’re definitely moving in those directions.

Right-wing bullshit propaganda. Freedumb of screech for beta males who can't recognise they're being controlled by wealthy, Christian nationalists, but freedom of choice for women is a problem.
The earlier women have kids, the greater the chance they will not have a degree, be successful earlier in their carrier and the greater risk of being controlled, and that's exactly your goal. You and your kind just want obedient, subservient women who don't talk back and suck your tiny stinky peckers when you need it.
Keep your pedophile hands away from the kids. Grow a modicum of self-respect to stop bending over backwards to suck Epstein class dick and spreading their filthy propaganda.

Be Japanese
Have dead-end job in back of office
No work to do, no upward mobility, no future opportunities
Collect a steady paycheck every two weeks. Feels-Good-Man.jpg
New PM takes office. Goes full MAGA nationalist. Picks trade wars. Starts fights with neighbors. Alienates people inside our own sphere of influence even.
