Lou, I understand what you are saying. Your old company doesn't understand what a work-life balance is. You cannot have a healthy life if you don't have it. Something will eventually give and it's usually your health. You are such a brave young lady. You're an inspiration to all of those you people that want to see the world but are afraid to step out of the protective umbrella of their parents. Stay safe and take care of yourself.❤

[@eveboyle109]

As a foreigner who lives in and loves Japan, the workaholic culture is absolutely so heartbreaking to see. If you don’t work overtime, then it’s frowned apon. No vacations, long hours day in and day out. Just no happiness in the work and not enough coworkers to distribute the workload. I am so glad you are putting yourself first. I don’t think many people do, and to live years and years like that is not a good life. I hope you find happiness. Being paid should be a bonus. Going to work doesn’t have to be torture. ❤

Thank you for sharing your insight. I can imagine that it’s especially tough when you’re not able to spend much time with your family-which is Ms. Lou’s case as a foreigner, then the feeling of anxiety when requesting time off to spend time with her family.

[@kasiapetruk6730]

I really admire you had the courage to stand up for yourself and your basic rights to have holiday without explaining it each time. I am sure you will find something better eventually.

[@barbaraayala7808]

Japan is very frugal about working. They have very strict working ethics. I have a cousin in Japan and he once told me. People that don't want to work, another one is standing in line waiting for that position. He made it seem like it was easy to let people go. I hope everything will work out for her. Everyone has some struggles going from job to job these days and moving from one place to the other is very stressful. I will keep her in my prayers because Lou is a smart cookie :-) Everything she has accomplished she should be very proud of herself.

[@ej3016]

not sure why the young think things they want should be their rights - a good job is a privilege and keeping it requires hard work and understanding what’s required of you - time off from work is a privilege and of course your employer should know why you want time off - my father worked 42 yrs for the same company and even with the seniority he had achieved - he had three weeks off each year as well as sick leave / family leave (funerals / emergencies) - there is a time and a place to “stand up for yourself” - being mistreated at work is one of those or having to work overtime without adequate pay is another - taking time off without explaining yourself may not be - changing jobs isn’t about getting something “better” - it may have to be just getting something - praying that the stress and anxiety of being unemployed isn’t worse for Lou than figuring things out with the job she had 🇨🇦🙏

[@kasiapetruk6730]

@@ej3016 holiday is a right, not a privilege. I understand you may be from a different old era.

My dear THAT is your business. You are a “Content Creator” and a “You Tuber” and you have thousands of followers who are watching you navigate Japan! That’s what your business is.

Even if that job was just for a year, it really prepared me for the one I have now, I am am currently 5 years in my company, plus over time I got inspired by you to vlog my life. I’ll keep you as well in my prayers, you are an inspiration ❤

[@na-oori]

My younger sister is currently unemployed after quitting her prev job in August 2022 (in Japan too). We were also worried about that 3 months rule, but she stayed anyway while still looking for a job here. She went to her city consultation center (I forgot what it’s called in japanese), and after talking to them, they said that she could stay even after the 3 months period passed, as long as she can provide the imigration a prove that she’s actively looking for a job, and that you can afford to pay the bills and stuff. She still lives here in Japan, and is still looking for a job, and the immigration hasn’t once asked her to leave :) I suggest you try going to your city consultation center and confirm this w/ them, so you can be sure and at least remove 1 of your biggest worries, because what happened to my sister has been affecting me really bad too mentally, so I can totally understand what you’re feeling. Also, if you haven’t done this already, I’d recommend you to write down/ journal what you’re worried about, or what you need to do :) It’s not exactly the same, but back when I was about to move out, or when I was so stressed out from having so many problems and thoughts, writing everything down in a journal totally helped me. Because when you worry, your problems and thoughts would get piled up inside your head with no way of letting it out, so when you journal, you’re letting all your worries out and enable you to have a better perspective on what you got to do. Creating a to do list, organizing what the problems are, finding a step by step solutions for each problem would definitely make you feel better, because even by just jotting them down, it can help make you feel like there’s a progress. I worry and stressed out a bit less every time I dump all my worries and problems on my journal, and it definitely makes me be more positive, knowing that these problems are not something I can’t handle. Really sorry about the long comment. It's just that I can relate to what you said in this video, and would like to share how I dealt w/ a similar problem and what I think might help you. I hope things are working out for you 😊

Hope you build a better life after the storm has gone. Wish you the best.

Dear Lou, I have loved your calm and soothing videos, filled with your spirit of determination for a long time. I’m glad you made a change.

I agree with other commenters that say YT is a business (not sure if that counts in Japan) but you could also sell merch, talk/write about how to move to a foreign country, teach Filipino customs and traditions…that’s educational videos. You may have another type of business completely in mind for yourself, and that’s fantastic. You are an amazing, brave and determined woman…you will succeed. I will keep you in my prayers to the universe that everything works out the way you are wishing, and I admire you for never giving up the fight.

Hello Lou. 🙂 Happy to hear you found a new place to live. You mentioned you might look into getting a business manager visa and I immediately thought about your KZbin channel; there may be a visa specifically for KZbinrs (content creators) living in Japan that you can apply for instead. I enjoy watching the King Kogi channel and the creator is a Canadian living in Japan, perhaps reaching out to her and asking her what visa status she is using to live in Japan might be helpful. If you prefer to try another business, what about a virtual assistant for businesses in the Philippines trying to make contacts and/or do business in Japan with Japanese companies. You understand the customs and business culture of Japan and know enough of the language to help companies in the Philippines make contacts, run errands in the city and help with any other tasks that need to be done there in Japan (or the reverse, any Japanese companies wanting to make business contacts in the Philippines). I hope you don't mind my suggestions and I wish you every continued success in your endeavors. GOD bless. 🙏

Dear Lou, I love your videos so much and always feel very happy when you post a new one. All the very best to you in your adventures and I know the good Lord is holding you in the palm of his hand. I am a 67 year old grandmother from the UK and I have walked away from a few bad work situations in my time. Work/life balance is so important. 🙏♥

[@meg7699]

GO LOU GO!! Yes these times in life can be so anxiety producing and scary but KNOW YOUR WORTH MY FRIEND! set time each day for looking for jobs yes but also take this time to explore and be young. You really should be so proud of yourself! You make great content btw and have a real talent there. I am so rooting for you and wish I could ease your worries but truly YOU GOT THIS LOU!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Video editing... Give it a try!! You're very good and this channel is the background you need.

[@kitkit5515]

I never clicked so fast! Lou I would have done the same and left that job. Glad you stood up and faced the uncertainty so that you can be free of worry. It’s scary but you will persevere. Things do happen for a reason. Prayers for a great job soon or best outcome 🙏🏼 also you have a good heart don’t feel you have to explain personal things you do in your life either to people. It’s your life

As an immigrant, I went through a lot of mental abuse and toxicity at work and still would not quit while on temporary status. Now when it's permanent, it's a different story. Getting myself out of work and home not having a new job arranged while still uncertain about my status would be the bravest thing for me to do. Depends on personality and goals I guess but I thank you so much for sharing your story and your perspective. I've just subscribed. One of my favorite channels so far. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your new job or own business. Whichever way you go, we are here and support you.

Hej Lou, found your channel just couple days ago and already love your content. So I decided to drop you a short, and hopefully encouraging, comment about relocation. I'm from Russia, and back in 2016 I moved to another country -- Sweden -- for work. And to say that it was challenging is to say nothing. Luckily I didn't have any uncertainties with the job, nevertheless, the first year was real hard. I was alone for the most part, without my friends, beloved places, beloved routine, beloved everything. I was left in vacuum. I was miserable and seriously considering to finish my contract and move back to Moscow. Think what? Those 4 years I stayed in Sweden ended up being one of the brightest, vivid, and memorable period of my life so far. The challenges will be overcome, you'll find and you'll love new places, new views, new activities that will fill up your heart. Fingers crossed!

[@chartaviafuller4027]

Hi Lou C! As long as you are meeting expectations at work, you should be allowed time off to visit your family. Family is important and you have to set boundaries and there should be a work-life balance. I commend you for having the strength to walk away and find something else. The world is so big and I’m sure there are many opportunities out there for you! You’re already successful with your channel so that’s something to celebrate. Keep going and don’t stop! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

I agree with several posts below ( I didn't read them all!): you do already have a healthy, thriving business in this channel. It is fun to go shopping, cook with you, etc. Since I started following you, I've begun cooking many more dishes. I got rid of my microwave because it calms me down to 'slow cook' as you do. I LOVE your pans without handles, the ones you clamp the handle on when needed. Love those. When you settle in again somewhere, please buy a second chopping board That way you'll have one for raw meats and one for veg and non-meat items. I've lived alone for thirty years now! I see friends and family but found I was losing my own sense of self when I had house mates or partner. It seems maybe that type of situation at your job was robbing you of joy and happiness. Please continue to post, to cook, to create sparkly pictures, and stay in touch with your friends in Japan. It makes me happy to see you go to parks to look at flowers and trees. Take care of your self !

I live in Australia. When I was young I worked for Toshiba, a Japanese company. I was shocked at how disciplined the japanese staff were. So rigid, serious, and dedicated. Being the young at heart, full of fun type person, I lasted 6 weeks there. Never again and I still have no desire to ever visit their country. Good luck Lou. Mayb the Philippines is calling you back. Don't bust yourself for a country that is not your scene.
