  1. What a terrible idea. As far as manufacturing goes, we were able to reduce overtime without affecting production. But managers still do their best to abuse overtime rules. When the Spring promotions rolled around, the B-shift leader moved to A-shift, after the A-shift manager was promoted. His first few months, between 4:30~4:55, he would go to the computer, and with the biggest shit-eating grin on his face, adjust the production mark by +100, and wait for people to react. Then set it at +5 or something to ensure we would have at least 15 minutes overtime. Completely destroying morale, why work hard so we can finish on time when the manager does stupid shit like this? He stopped after Labor Standards showed up. But these kinds of directives just encourage this kind of shit-head behavior.

  2. Anything but improve the population’s mental health. How many more Abe examples they need?

  3. Yeah. This is why i dislike her even though everyone around me is inspired by her speeches and even I am grudgingly impressed. She is a toxic showa era person who thinks just because she can do it, everyone else should too REGARDLESS of their health, goals, family situation or individual values.

  4. Overtime limits? Are they actually mandatory or just a “recommendation” by the law as long as the company pays your overtime?

  5. This is why I don’t understand (as an American) why countries (including the US) keep electing conservative politicians. This is all they do, decrease the quality of life

  6. If Japan thinks that increasing workers’ working hours will increase productivity, it makes me sad to see what a stupid country it has become. They should first focus on education and improve the quality of their human resources.

  7. Takaichi must want to beat the record when it comes to how fast a prime minister manages to lose popular support and ends up getting ousted.

  8. Guys remember short term gains are the most importantly who know what will happen tomorrow, and share folder do need that boat

  9. This happening right when I’m taking time off work due to burn out is the fucking cherry on top of the cake. Fuck her.
