What the fuck is wrong with the Japanese?

I used to work in Japan.

Japanese business people are the most spineless, unproductive and unimaginative people you'll ever have the misfortune of working alongside.

what do you mean by this?

In what ways are they unproductive and spineless?

I remember find his videos, I want his gf

I work for a Japanese international school. They truly take pride in doing pointless amounts of work. I’m attempting to break their stupid ways of working by showing that you can give yourself a break and still do your job well. But I’m probably coming off as a white collar duke nukem that’s fun to interact with. Can’t take the jap out of the jap, but at least they like me.

how much you getting paid?
I work at an international school in Chna

They are yes men and have a hard time bringing up new ideas that might rock the boat.

1. Negotiating against a Japanese person is a cakewalk. They do not stand up for themselves or their business position and will go out of their way to accommodate. Westerners know this and take advantage of it. Watching your colleagues and/or clients completely fold at even the slightest hint of resistance is maddening, especially when you KNOW the deal is unfair. I can't honestly think of any group of people who are easier to break.

2. Japanese are incredibly unproductive. They "work" very long hours, except that "work" isn't real work. Huge amounts of time are spent on pointless conference calls / meetings. Even larger chunks of the day are lost to them literally sitting around on their asses doing absolutely nothing so that they can preserve the real work for after hours and thus "look good" by breaking their backs at 9pm to get something out the door by midnight. This is infuriating as a westerner because you'd rather get your shit done and just go home. Ninety percent of my work came in at 5pm on the day before it needed doing, despite email chains clearly showing that my Japanese colleagues sat on the project for over a week.

3. Japanese people are just bad at stuff. Engineering wise they're getting their ass kicked by Koreans; finance investing wise they're getting their ass kicked by Westerners; etc. Yet they're still super racist and refuse to learn. They won't even do business with Chinese due to the racial superiority complex they have, which is badly, BADLY costing them. The Japanese economy is stagnating for a reason.

All of the above are generalizations. Obviously not every Japanese person, company or firm is like this. But this was the overall experience I had when I was there. Japan kicks ass in many departments - cheap, high quality food; hot, feminine women; awesome entertainment options; etc. - but business is NOT one of them.

Japan does not have cheap food...

Decent for Thailand (50k+ Baht) but on the low end for international schools. I will get a big raise once our school has more students. It just recently opened. How is it working in Ching Chang Chong? I know you fuckers make bank.
