Day in the Life of a Typical Japanese Office Worker in Tokyo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 кві 2019
- Living in Japan and working in a Tokyo office - This is a Tokyo day in the life of a Japanese Office Worker, 24 year old, Emi. This is also a tour of her Japanese office, Pasona. We start this typical day in her Japanese home, commute via train to her Tokyo office in Otemachi and spend a day in the life of Emi at her working place. We see her typical working hours in Japan and how it is working in Japan as a female in her position. Her day in the life in Japan may be a bit different than some Japanese salarymen, but her experiences in the office with chorei, senpai / kouhai, and kenshu is a very typical in experiences in many Japanese offices. If you want to know how work in Japan or want to know how work in Tokyo, this could be how your job in Japan could be like. The Tokyo office itself, is probably an above average Japanese office in terms design and the business culture a bit more progressive than most traditional Japanese companies, but this Japanese company still maintains a very traditional Japanese office environment. So all in all, this is an example of Japan life as well as Tokyo life if you were to work in a Japanese company. You should always be aware of Japanese culture when working in a Japanese office. This Japanese office has a gym, English school and even a farm all in the building. Pasona is one of the largest staffing services company in Japan. There’s about 4000 staff in her office alone and about 9000 in total worldwide.

As a Typical Japanese Worker in the video, you'll see that Emi:
- still lives with her parents (very common)
- still works for the same company she started with after graduating university
- takes baths at night
- doesn't have a lot of time for breakfast before work
- commutes to work 1 hour one-way everyday by train
- arrives to work early before company hours
- sits in an open seating environment with co-workers and mangers all sitting together
- attends the traditional company morning meeting, called Chorei (very Japanese)
- receives Omiyage from co-workers who came back from trips
- performs regular desk and PC work throughout the day (as you would expect)
- attends planing meetings as required for her job throughout the day
- takes a 1-hour lunch break with co-workers
- respects company seniority and uses the appropriate language to address her superiors
- leaves the office when she finishes her work. On this day, she finished her work on time when on other days she may have to stay behind...as you can see other people in the office still remained since they didn't finish their work yet.
- meets up with the girls after work to have a dinner / drinks
- All of the above is what you could expect to see in a day of a "Typical Japanese Office Worker" or "Salarywomen in Japan"
Let me know in the COMMENTS if you DISAGREE.
LIKE if you want to see more Day in the Life Japan videos.
Paolo fromTOKYO wow 😮 you have just leveled up with your content!!! This is amazing and really appreciate all the work that went into this. 🥰🥰😍😍
This is complete BS. Seriously dude, can't you tell the difference between Japan corporate propaganda and reality? You're an idiot
I think you've kinda went against yourself though.
In your introduction, you said:
"So in this video, I'm gonna show you guys what it's like to work in a Japanese office."
And what was presented is not actually that. Sure the girl is lucky. Maybe if the title was "Day in the Life of a One-of-a-Kind Japanese Office Worker in Tokyo", it won't be that misleading. Haha
As a more typical Japanese office worker, I just felt that the reality was misrepresented by this video.
I love it! New sub... yes let's grow together!🤩
@PaolofromTokyo can you please make a video explaining in detail how you were able to stay in Japan for so long? I want to move to Japan one day but I have no idea what to do...can you please explain how someone from the USA can move Japanpan, find a job and then atttain perminent residency? Can you also explain how this could be done if the person doesn't have a degree; isn't a student and may not be really good at speaking Japanese?
i can imagine paolo standing there for 8 hours with big smile while she's sleeping.
So creepy
In one of his vlogs on his other account, he did once mentioned that his wife is actually behind recording those early morning scenes because he needs to be on the other side, to the transition train station.

I love only jabroni outfit
@@flipderneutrale4376 yeah, i think, she should do this in jabroni outfit
I’m a Japanese but hopefully no one misunderstands like “This is Japanese usual company” lol. This company is like Google, too unique and never can be a sample of “Japanese workplace”.
Was thinkin the same thing, this is 100% nowhere near the norm
it says tokyo, learn to re34d kid.
Exactly! I work for Kyocera & they are not like this. Yes they are bit progressive compared to other Japanese companies but this is not your usual Japanese company or worklife.
Yeh that’s right, I’m a foreigner but this also seems like far from “typical” in Japan for me. Very misleading title.
I totally figured this isn't the normal workplace.. it's too good to be true :/
I understand it's different in most other Japanese companies, but this company has it right for sure. If I was an employee at this company, I am sure I would strive for longevity there and appreciate the great working conditions they have. I think this naturally makes people work harder for the company, out of appreciation for the working environment. Very nice!
"typical japanese office worker"
paolo the entire video; "I've never seen a company do this before"
Hahaha it's so true man, before the start of the video I was wondering which traditional company even allowed him to film. Turns out that it's the one that is even more progressive than the beanbag startups. Aside from that, I felt like the company really brought the best of both worlds, the manners and thoughtfulness of Japanese, without the culture of like staying late and all that. Of course, all is good in a film
Love this it seems they really care about there workers which is great ❤️
@@ray13317 but then again usually they're set up like this so its easier to stay longer and work for a long time. My cousin works at a place that's real nice with even a fully stocked kitchen but like sometimes she works 14 hours there
The word "typical" in this context is referring to her life as an office worker, not her company or what her company exhibits.
@@dianaservin7196 they dont
Google: we have comfy chairs, gym, and free food
This one Japanese company: we have a farm
😃
Infact, I guess this is closer to Google's working environment in Japan
ははh
Man, huge companies like Google and Amazon are nervously smoking in the corner
My office only has smoking area and cafeteria 😅
I like how Paolo integrates so well with the locations and people, sometimes passive, sometimes more active. I really enjoy his stuff.
This is 2023, January, the 26st. I've been enjoying many a different video from this series over the years. It's just SOOOO awesome to find older videos in the series. Paolo, my dude, You've created an awesome series, I don't feel I will ever not feel the excitement to learn about how stuff goes on in Japan with different people and their different jobs. I'm overwhelmed with feelings of gratefulness towards your work over the years sharing all this stuff, including your very intimate family, for the sake of all the viewers to enjoy. Cheers and I hope you read me and know you are appreciated. Cheers!
The entire video I was just thinking about how much I love her pants
Great pants design
Sir Dragon Moon same her outfit is so cute
her whole outfit is amazing tbh
@@jupes_ shes amazing too
Glad I wasn't the only one who was thinking the same thing! lol
This guy should do a day in the life of himself.
Edit: I posted this comment before seeing her had that video out already lol
hahaha ,i really agree with you
Guys let's up vote this so he does it
@@Legend-ui2dj he made a video about himself recently and says that for now youtube is a full time thing. So buy his merch to keep getting videos
Would you really want to watch half a day of video editing though ahahha?
Have a guy follow him with a camera to record him following someone with a camera
Watching this video from my hotel room in Japan, had a long day travelling here, absolutely appreciate the people here, you are all doing amazing! Thanks for the video, Paolo!
I'm so happy to find this vlog 😍 I'm planning to live in Tokyo for couple years, so I'm watching each video with a bid interest😍 thanks for great job☺️
Japanese offices: We have farms, shops, a bakery, and even a cool toilet
Offices in my country: The walls are painted, what else do you want
Which country are you from 😂
U HAVE WALLS !
you're lucky, you have walls.
Japan has the highest suicide rates for office work
Yeah, it is a workplace not a kindergarden.
I love her style! Her pants, shirt and coat combo is so elegant and chic!
The tree trunk silhouette legs didn't look good. Her pants should have been more tapered in the knees.
@@ontemp no. I like the style you must be wrong.
@@blastkrypt2160 Simp.
Her pants are awesome because it's 1975 and bell bottoms are in
@@zoarmhirr2964 simps are people who go through such lengths for a girl and i don't see how that's over the boundary
wow! I REALLY like how there is no cubicles!! I feel like it would be less lonely and would help to feel like you are really working together with your co workers as a team. It’s probably more fun and productive this way
Wow, I love how this workplace is. I can't imagine what it was like with COVID though. I love how it takes all into the wellbeings of the employees and made it feel like the CEO isn't some higher-up. They're right there and working the same as their employees. I appreciate it.
the apple alarm in the first few seconds gave me ptsd flashbacks
Gatta Every morning I have to hear it.
Why is this so accurate
i wasnt ready 😭
@@michelleversace6030 Yeah I can change it but nothing wakes me up more than that alarm now
yeah totally those days in the nam
The way she was rushing in the morning I was half expecting her to run out of the house with a piece of toast in her mouth🤣
I think you've watched too much anime 😂
Not happening in Japan, that is considered rude.
@@J4ckCr0w lol it was a joke. It's a typical anime trope 🤣
I swear bro🤣
@@theoacean Many foreigners would try and see, better to know.
Amazing, one should be blessed to have a life like this on earth. Thankyou for posting such an interesting at the same time informative video. All the best
These are such fantastic and inspiring videos. I love the care, respect and diligence of the workers. It's inspiring me to change some of my approaches to daily living and work! As a healthcare worker, I was offered some potential contracts abroad...including Japan! I may take the opprortunity after seeing this!
_“Emi still lives with a family, which is a fairly common thing in Japan-even after graduating from university.”_

Hello Paolo, I wanted to thank you for sharing those videos that provide a great insight into Japanese culture. Your effort to showcase these to the world is much appreciated. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to create a video on Japanese university lecturers and teachers. Keep up the good work!
I'm a HR student in Canada, currently finishing up my first year of studies, and one of my classes focuses on how human resources are managed across the world. I recently learned about Japan's management models and am definitely intrigued by this country's ways. I came across this video and really appreciate being able to get some visual insight on the realities of office workers in Japan! Thank you :)
Interesting!
"on the realities of office workers in Japan"
Better look elsewhere then, because this is nothing like the "real world" in Japanese offices.
Conclusion: This PR company really know how to do PR work.
Maybe this video was their PR work to get more talent, cause no Japanese goes home dot on time, LOL
Vineet r/whoosh
@@Vineetp1980 Exactly what I am thinking. Haha.
i see

Why is nobody talking about the bakery that is filled with food made by people with disabilities? And all the art in the building is made by them too. “ talent knows no handicap”

@@kerol5905 complete garbage, girls don't do it for "themselves" lmao they do it to get attention from other men. Just stop lying to yourself
Damn, her company is seriously takes worker wellbeing to top level
its super important to maintain workers wellbeing to increase productivity imo
If you havent noticed yet this was a sponsor event no one allows someone to film in a company meaning it was preplanned and this was a PR event to attract more requirement.
i would work at this company over my so called "one of the biggest financial institutions in the country" shitty job.
SKILL BRO still nice though. Im sure they didn't set up the farm, gym, restaurant for free food... just for show.
That’s because they work for like 10+ hours
Amazing video, it’s great seeing how others workplace works, thank you
I love this. I'd love to work at a place like this. It's great to learn how other countries and their inhabitants do things.
Don't be mistaken. This kind of office situation is like one in a million for japanese workers.
This girl is indeed VERY lucky.
One in a million for japanese workers? Shit, this is one in a million for practically anyone. I've never worked in an office that wasn't claustrophobic, stuffy and boring that didn't have me working late.
Huh? I know so many companies doing this in Japan. Seriously?
Time is changing.
What is the typical office setting like??
Maybe not luck but she worked hard enough to get herself into such place
I love how quiet that office is! My office sounds like a prison riot!
😂😂😂
Wtf😂
Yeah, I work for a football league. There's no such thing as quiet in the office, especially on game days
Hahahah same here
My office is always half empty or more because so many people work from home.
I need to work in this type of office theirs so much discipline cooperation coordination i just feel so good to watch the video thanks to the creator and team
Dude, I get impressed when someone says good morning or thank you to me!
Now imagine living in Japan where people are so polite!
Let's be honest. Her outfit looks sooo great!
yesss, somebody have her ig, tell me
She’s soooo cute
If you say so
fr
I like her overcoat. I wish we could get on update though and see how she's doing.
I can't tell how much my life has become organised just by watching these 'Day In life of Japanese people' videos.
same
IKR also makes me want to work more and give my best
yup,these videos are very inspiring
I have seen only one video...I already started feeling it.
I've become more aware of how i dress considering how nice Japanese people especially in paolo's vlogs dress
My company (in Canada) does weekly morning meetings about the company and its weekly progresses and such too, where the leads talk to the whole company and all the teams about what they're doing for the week and give encouragement, etc. We don't do it every morning (as you're saying is the traditional way here in the video) but it's considered progressive and inclusive to do this at all (in person, not in email). It's considered by the CEOs and stuff to give the company a more intimate and team-oriented feel, and to create cohesion and offer transparency for all the teams.
It's just interesting that what is considered "new" and "progressive" in Canada is actually a *traditional* or even old _daily_ part of Japanese office culture.
Wow! They really take care of their employees in Japan. I love it all! I work for a good company but this is phenomenal :)
This is not typical at all
In Japan employees are tortured
the salaryman needs to figure out how to get hired here
save makoto
XD he is probably directing right to the forest
best comment hahaha
makoto works so much he doesn't even have the time to make love to his wife poor guy deserves better
@@mrcookie97 he was married?
that office is super progressive for anywhere in the world. she's fortunate to work in such an environment.
In the EU(from Lisbon to Bucharest) you'll find similar concepts.
BTW.Who on Earth still uses the word "progressive" to describe an office building.
@@artyerty35 there are similar concepts here in the U.S. as well but they are few and far between. And clearly a lot of people still use the word progressive to describe an office work space.
tbh i thought this place looked a bit dull? Like the actual work desks need a bit more greenery I think. I work for an IT company in the UK and we have multiple modern kitchens in the building, gym + sauna and themed meeting rooms for group work.
Usually progressive means less white men.
Mate, its no different from any office Ive been in. People returning from holidays often hand out sweets and stuff to everyone, the open plan is quiet so people can work in peace. Although its fascinating to see another office in another country, there is no wow like the host of the video seems to think there is.
this is one of the best videos I have just watched today... thanks for sharing,,
Pretty sure that they film this over a few days but it’s great to see the companies and the people featured here are nice and cooperative !!
Side note: she’s super beautiful and I love her style

I currently work for Pasona and am currently employed at the same building as Emi! We don't work on the same floor or department so we do not know each other well, but we interact a bit so we're friendly acquaintances! As I saw her in your video I thought to myself "Hmm, she looks familiar!" haha! It was cool seeing someone I know featured in your video!
This looks fishy 🤔 I don't know if I believe her or she just wants attention.
@@alejandro1979x I've worked for Pasona for 4 years now but didn't interact with Emi in the beginning. I still don't work directly with her or in her department but I see her sometimes. I didn't see this video until this year so I was unaware of it. I just happened to find the video and see that the woman featured was someone who works in the same building as me.
Are you a foreigner? Because im also looking to work in japan oneday! Maybe you could give me some advices :)!
Could you possibly find out if she has a social media account?
Very cool to hear
Amazing workplace and brilliant job taking care of their employees definitely a benchmark for others to follow.
Thanks for bringing me into a different part of the world

In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand.
yakuza is not real :s
I do like the open office format and the fact that the boss sits amongst the workers. On a side note that shirt is dope

Personal gym, private cafeteria and bakery, zoo... Yea I don't think typical is the word here lol
I think it's one of those companies that are trying to adopt western silicon valley office vibe. Seen a few when I visited Korea, they try to move away from typical cubical environment which definitely is not typical.
Brian Chen It’s gonna be sad when they get rid of the cubicles all together. No more dicking around on reddit on company time :(
During the good old days of Californian startups (like 2010s), the company I was working for had its own bar, food delivery, yoga instructor and crossfit, a car wash service and you could customize your cubicle with anything you wanted. I came across a guy who had beach sand under his desk bc he was"getting ready for his vacation". Also they had a kitchen in the middle of the office and they used to make waffles for breakfast. They were showers and washing machines too. And it was a company of maybe 80 ppl... I worked for another company where employees used to go surfing before arriving at the office... at like 10.30 or 11 am.
Emmanuel K Thank you for your info tho
but this company actually has 4000 for only one department
I think It's already a typical nation wide to have that kind of service in offices. Even the startup office that I work for right now has gym, shopping area, cafeteria inside the Central Business District Office Complex.
wow, nice workplace! I did experience working in an office for just a few days as part of a business trip! The open workspace is really common. And the Chorei. Plus the rajio taiso exercise. So quiet so I often feel sleepy if not so busy..hahaha
I like the open space. Brings more personality to one’s work
Let’s be real....the phrase “Thank you so much for coming is so early!” Could be taken two ways! One: she’s usually late given how much of a rush she’s in and Two: he’s genuinely just a friendly boss haha
probably meant it in relation to the fact that there was going to be filming so it wouldnt interrupt later on
looks like she late her hair aint all brushed or her style Idk
I’m Japanese and he was just surprised and impressed that Paolo started shooting from early morning. He is not even talking about her lol
i think he was talking about the guy who filmed it
TheMystic he is talking about paolo coming in early for shooting the video not the girl coming in early for work
The last thing I want is to sit next to CEO.
Completely agree! He's probably sitting there just to keep an eye on all of them.
I agree, but on another hand if he sees you working hard, you might get promotion easily.
It would be fantastic to have that kind of accessibility to someone who clearly has a ton to offer you
Japanese men and women in offices know what to do and they do it without the boss checking on them. And working in a quiet place like that is just a damn relief. No person there would risk getting fired, not from an amazing place like that.
We have CEO and COO in our office you get used to it and so busy you don't notice. But we don't have live animals unless you count some of the other employees. Lol
Tokyo is a wonderful place to live in. Never before have I seen such a degree of cleanliness in my life! Moreover the food is always fresh and their cuisine is as delicious as nutritious. Well, I miss Tokyo and hope I would be able to travel to Japan again.
I will go in 2023
Who else is binging all the episodes in this series? The office is so interesting, I can't believe they have an animal farm inside and the employees can just walk in and feed them!
It's a fun office
Its wholesome and ethical
Been in Japanese companies for 10 years.
This is not your typical workplace. It is the JACKPOT.
Indeed
I wondered that. My comment was to ask if it was actually typical, or if it was more of an 'ideal' work setting for the very few.
burpolicious
the numbers are increasing or so i heard. but definitely a rare breed of companies. as i mentioned, this particular company, Pasona is one of the large Jackpot one can land on.
I know another company, Rakuten also has similar settings.
Pls....tell us more
Japanese in US or Japan? I suppose theres a difference
One day our paolo might reach out to make a video of life of japanese president
up
We dont have a president here in Japan..we have Emperor and Prime Minister 😁
That would be dope!
i'm waiting for a life of a samurai. lol
Day in the life of Yakuza?
There are so many wonderful perks at her job. I love the open office, the bakery and the farm. You can get your daily dosage of petting and feeding cute animals. There are places in America that do offer wet towels actually. I am in NY and some restaurants and hotels offer them.
This is the best one I’ve seen so far, I saw one where this lady works 6am to 1am
some dude: we have a dog/cat roaming in the office
Pasona: hold my owls and goats
Ahahhaha
Oh you have been watching videos of esteem right? :D
IT'S SO PERFECT THAT IT'S LIKE A PR COMPANY MADE THIS WHOLE THING. WAIT.
agree
it is indeed
Gym is all empty
Wouldn't it be weird if a girl who works in a PR department presented an idea to the company to put their best face forward in a video that is mysteriously on track to be a 10x more popular video than was ever uploaded on this channel before?

...it's like the 90s again lol
I cannot stop rewatching this video. She sure has her challenges in there that only she knows, however that office really blows my mind due to how progressive it is in terms of layout, behaviour of the colleagues, the facilities (like the gym and shop) in there... I've worked in some offices here in Italy that really are behind and it kinda sucks.
We should have more office spaces like his =) I think it would maximise productivity =)
What a great video, but ALL your videos are great, Paolo. Oh yes, I could easily work under those conditions, especially id Eli was there!!😆😆😆. Thanks - another great presentation. Best from UK.
This is the most positive job environment in Japan I think. the rest that i saw looks depressing...
Most jobs in Japan look depressing, honestly.
disgusting prejudice
You want it to be true right??
stop looking at it from above and
please look at your own country.
My friend worked there in a lab. He escaped after 4 months. He said it was awful, noone talked to each other, very sad and he felt depressed. He said it was first time in his life when in a new place he did not get to know a single person at work in 4 months...
@@VE-DIce why so toxic?
@@olamarca7171 I worked in a Honda lab in Osaka as a chemical engineer, I had a BLAST!!! I got to play with "toys" and chemicals that most labs in the US wouldn't let a new grad touch with a 50 ft pole. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my professional career and encouraged me to stay overseas for work. But yes there are some places in Japan that were absolutely depressing (like our supply and logistics division they were all alcoholics), luckily it wasn't like that where I worked.
Hmm...not sure if the title should be "typical" as this is a rarity. lol
My thoughts exactly. This is so far from typical. The only "typical" thing was the train commute lol.
but i guess this kind office setting is getting more common nowadays that this will become the "typical" office you would see in the next few years. 😂😂
What wasnt typical? The meal at the end? Being out of work at 6pm? Big lunch with colleagues? Going to a petting zoo?
As a Typical Japanese Worker in the video, you'll see that Emi:
- still lives with her parents (very common)
- still works for the same company she started with after graduating university
- takes baths at night
- doesn't have a lot of time for breakfast before work
- commutes to work 1 hour one-way everyday by train
- arrives to work early before company hours
- sits in an open seating environment with co-workers and mangers all sitting together
- attends the traditional company morning meeting, called Chorei (very Japanese)
- receives Omiyage from co-workers who came back from trips
- performs regular desk and PC work throughout the day (as you would expect)
- attends planing meetings as required for her job throughout the day
- takes a 1-hour lunch break with co-workers
- respects company seniority and uses the appropriate language to address her superiors
- leaves the office when she finishes her work. On this day, she finished her work on time when on other days she may have to stay behind...as you can see other people in the office still remained since they didn't finish their work yet.
- meets up with the girls after work to have a dinner / drinks
- All of the above is what you could expect to see in a day of a "Typical Japanese Office Worker" or "Salarywomen in Japan"
I know ...getting off at 4:30pm lmfao..... no unpaid overtime. (oh I guess that just applies to Korean companies)
The tables resting on engines were a real cherry on top. Great workplace environment.
It looks like a great place to work. So nice that it doesn't look like it's competitive. People are so polite.
13 minutes in and I still don't know what this company does.
I think I heard “staffing agency”
PR (marketing agency) ....that's why they read newspapers and feed goats o
It's basically a staffing/employment/recruitment firm.
@M T that literally every company on the universe
It's like Entertainment 720
I'm addicted to this "Day in the Life Series" 😣
Saaaaaaame
Sameee!!!
Sameeee
Me tooooooo
Sameeeeee!
It's good that Emi takes a bath in the evening because she is surrounded by people daily now that covid is rampant and all around her...she shouldn't go to bed from the day's exposure. I hope she is still well and healthy with that addictive smile!
Jobs will pay your bills, business will make you rich but investment makes and keep you wealthy!, I pray everyone here becomes successful!
Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.
This video got me hooked, and now I’m determined to become a billionaire in just two years! 💪💰
That's great! I'm motivated too! How can we achieve this challenge?
No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
I've heard alot about crypto currency investments and how effective it can grow your income! Any recommendations on a guide?
I'm currently working for a Japanese interior design firm for 4 years and I can definitely say a lot of offices we've designed in Tokyo are becoming more and more like this. I can't remember a time when we've designed an office that doesn't have a bar, open working spaces or some sort of gym.
I hope that Japan continue this trend
I have seen similar buildings in Western office settings, but the general consensus among my peers and coworkers is that it is a form of 'employee capture'. Specifically, making offices feel like homes encourages salaried employees to contribute free overtime. Senior staff peer pressure prevents most employees from using it: "Real team players" won't "slack off".
That's goid to Here, hope the workplace environment gets better as time passes by!
I want to work in japan in like 4-5 years and I hope that the conditions will improve. I was worried about the way they handle work there. But seeing this video and your comment made me realize that it can only get better. I am learing japanese right now and I can speak 5 languages so I think I will find a job eventually until then=)
@@ssrmajinken846 Best of luck to you!
This is anything but "typical". This looks like it would be several people's dream job (when compared to your "average" salaryman job.)
I think he meant typical for reality in Japan
looks like this is an improvement company, a "black company" means pressure to stay overtime even when you've done all the work already.
Definitely, it is not a typical example of medium or small companies
Pasona has many employees, so if anything, it is typical example of large companies
In Singapore if I can go home on the dot at 6pm it will be the best job in ever. Singaporeans work the longest hours in the world comparable to Japan and Korea.
Read newspaper and prepare tea water, oh what a morning now it's time for a break!
Wow. Amazing work environment. Dreaming of working there someday 🥺
it is very funny to see the difference between working in this company and elsewhere in the world. The office culture, the office tour, the animal and the break is so funnt
すごい福利厚生…
I've been working over 10 years in Japan, but never seen such a great workplace.
I'm so jealous!
Yo, do Indians work in japan?
@@user-xt3lu6hp8e Yes?
@@user-xt3lu6hp8e not rlly
Why do Japanese people use iPhone primarily lol does it not cost the same as in another country Ik the phones are great but 90 percent uses them
@@astronomical3342 has to do with the idea of not standing out
when “everyone” has an iPhone, why would someone buying their first phone/their next phone buy something else than an iPhone? I saw an interview once where they asked Japanese people what phone they have and most people said/showed an iPhone. There was one person I clearly remember that had a Sony Xperia and she said that she’ll get an iPhone next because she got the phone as a gift, so she didn’t want to throw it away.
omg she’s so pretty and stylish, maybe her outfit is common but i love it😂
She is!!!
Agreed I live the coat
@@michaelhart7282 Sounds wild.
was looking for a comment like that. So elegant and pretty!
It is common office wear in Japan! I love it so much I shop on Uniqlo more now than American stores.
Great video, as always, Paulo!
im so happy to see people come to work with smile :)
They read newspaper in office well I'm not even allowed to read my own thoughts😂
😂😂😂 true..happens all the time in Mumbai
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 omg
You should make this into a series and follow people around with other jobs!
Cooks
Construction workers
Store workers
Bakers
Manga writers
Etc etc!
dont forget sex workers, the backbone of our society
I 2nd that
Curiousnessify you really had to go there didn’t you
Curiousnessify yes especially the ones in the jab industry 10/10 lmao
JAV****
I love your videos especially these, learn so much and so cool. Hope to see more
I really appreciate how japanese big company take employee training seriously and give you a whole package of program, and not just ask new employee should be ready for everything as long as they enter the new company.
Definitely not “typical” but what every company should strive for.
I was thinking the same, it's definitely not typical, people working here have top class conditions !
This guy should do a day in the life of himself.
I love how much more polite and thoughtful Japanese workers are. Such a wonderful company too
Lol obviously you've never worked there
The company is probably ok, but don't confuse following rules for genuine politeness/kindness.
It’s all for show.... they are really passive agressive
come to Japan to work haha in one week your are leaving this country xD
@ why? Can you explain?
I’m actually VERY surprised! I didn’t expect to see something like this in Japan! I’ve been working for a Japanese company for 3 years, and personally, it has been tough. I think it's because I work in the 自動車産業 (automotive industry).
Thanks for sharing this video, Paolo! I've regained my desire to look for another job in Japanese companies!
