I hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy during these times. This video was filmed before Tokyo started recommending a city lockdown. In fact, at the time of uploading this video, Tokyo is still not officially on any lockdown and residents are able to go out as they wish, but please know that I am staying at home these days as much as possible, eating meals at home and only venturing out for necessary items such as pregnancy clinic visits, grocery shopping, etc and also practicing social distancing as much as it is possible in Tokyo. And of course, I am not traveling these days.

But I didn't know it was that extreme! Big yikes. Getting bullied for still attending but then not wanting to consume alcohol is really... messed up. As if a person can't be fun/have fun when sober. My personal motto is always: I work to live, I don't live to work. But for them it seems like it's definitely the other way around. I do admire their strong spirit and diligence though, and I guess if growing up by such standards it's easier to deal with since they are accustomed to it. But I'd be... devastated. I like not having to partake in work outings. I prefer to keep work and private life very strictly separated.

to be fair they're obviously treated better by their employer in Japan... I mean, they get their uniforms DRY CLEANED DAILY. In America you have to buy your own work clothes and you KNOW we can't afford to go out every day after work for drinks and dinner.

[@DetrimentalDerivation]

@@LG-jb9zs On the flip side, most work places in the USA also assume a lower expectation for front-line service sector workers than in Japan. If you happen to be someone who finds little joy in your position, _most_ managers and coworkers won't reprimand you for performing a bare minimum which is implicitly below the explicit requirements of the position. And those which do try to enforce those worker requirements usually either have to give the workers a financial/material incentive to stick around, or have to deal with high rates of turnover.

[@HELL0NESSA]

@@LG-jb9zs this is only ONE workplace. There are workplaces that are just a bad there. And there are great companies here. Also, there are tons of work places that give you a uniform that you don't pay for. There are also those that do have a cleaning service for uniforms.
