Work Experience In Japan Industrial Factory very hard!!

My name jonathan thomson I come from boston and 32 years old
I was An  graduate Boston University, which is in full swing to study, but the middle of it all I think how to master the sciences are so many discovered by people who before me. Attempts have been done in various ways, either individually or by asking for help from others ..


I just want to share a little about my experience very brief while working at a factory that in fact belonged to Japan. I get a lot of things and it is totally different to what we imagined. Let's discuss one by one.
Culture
- Say greetings -
This  is something that I really pay attention at weeks 1 and 2 when joining  the company, but it turns out that sitting in front of employees-would  be running backward to say "Ohayou Gozaimasu" to the Japanese people in  the backseat .. -_- "how tiring…
- Kaizen -
Kaizen  is Japanese, which means "repair", Japan make it as a principle in work  where every day the workers carried out repairs so that the next day  the process to be faster and better. I think this is also a strategy that the Japanese do not need  expensive to pay a consultant to analyze the flaws in the work performed  ..
- Piket Together -
Yes  absolutely right, picket here is a sweeping, ngepel, and clean-up  equipment to be used before work by the employees concerned. I think, this is one of the strategies that the Japanese do not need  to add Office Boy at each factory that will have implications for  additional employee salary expenditure ..
- Japanese Language Course -
Have  you ever heard of the Japanese people are fluent in English ?, of  course very rarely because the Japanese do not know the name alphabet  (a, b, c, d, etc ..). In day-to-day activities, the employees are required to be Japanese (at least understand). I  think this is also a strategy of the Japanese people, because they  would inconvenience if learning English as an international language. Therefore they prefer to provide Japanese language lessons to employees so that employees can communicate with them ..
Salary (Salary)
If  the salary issue, here is somewhat different from the expectations  expected by fresh graduate student who incidentally just starting a  career. Differences in the payroll system at the Japanese company is Transport and Money eat borne by the company. So what we get is a net salary. If calculated, usually money transport in a standard office Jakarta usually amounting to 25 thousand + Spot 30 Thousand. If the sum is 55 thousand for 1 day. Making the total for 1 month is about 1 million. While  the dining office and transport is provided, it will save .. Following  the above description is an experience I have gained while working for a  Japanese company, even if only briefly, but I understand the process  and also the advantages and also disadvantages. * May be different with other factory.

"Every  day I live with a terrible anxiety," said Ikezaki, a contract employee  who is currently working with a salary of ¥ 75,000 / month (or about 7  million per month). "When  I think about my future, so I can not sleep at night." Based on data  from the Japanese government, there are more than 10 million people  living on less than the normal standard of Japan is ¥ 1,600,000 / year  (or approximately 155 million per year). Maybe  this is all a result of Japanese companies are more concerned with  corporate profits and take advantage of the innocence of new workers  (who obviously did not have any other option) creates a salaryman. People  who live with low salaries, working desperately, without overtime pay,  and without the certainty of career advancement even though they have  worked for decades. So do not be surprised when you see a lot of Japanese employees who had fallen asleep on the train as they headed home. They were too tired. 

                                                This is Japan's real working world.

  Salaryman's  own words taken from English, namely salary (salary) and man (person),  so salaryman means a person whose life is 100% dependent on salary. They get fired if it feels the world ends. If in Indonesia, is the same as the nation's nobility = employees.
Because  of the stress, create a new word that is famous in the world of  Japanese workers to describe how hard work in Japan, which is karoshi. What it karoshi? Karoshi means "dead work" or death due to job stress. Subtle means "died of a loyal and devoted to the company". Death  could have been due to a workplace accident, death being too tired (his  health declined considerably), or due to suicide because of work  stress. Because of the seriousness of this issue, the Japanese government has tried various ways to overcome them. From  providing emergency phone number to receive the grievances of the  salaryman, user guide to reduce stress, to pass laws that give some  money (insurance) to the widows and children who had lost because of  karoshi. According to government data, from 2,207 suicides in 2007, 672 of his is because the work was too much. Is  the famous case of karoshi deaths Kenichi Uchino in 2002, a  quality-control manager 30-year-old who works at the world's largest  automotive company, Toyota. Kenichi reportedly worked overtime for 80 hours each month for 6 months without overtime or given any additional bonuses. He eventually fainted at work and was rushed to the hospital, who then took him to the afterlife. McDonald's Japan is also affected by this problem. One restaurant manager fell ill and died due to work overtime without any pay. Would  not want, due to public pressure, Toyota and McDonald's finally decided  to provide overtime pay for those who want to work overtime and provide  better health facilities. The salaryman is actually good intentions, namely to promote the company. Coupled  with the Japanese culture has always emphasized discipline, they think  that by working longer and harder than other employees and without  asking for any payment, their boss can give a much better position. But the reality, NO !! ..
And schedule a salaryman can be listened as follows 

•  06:30 = get out of bed
  07:30 = gone to the office (walk / bike ride / subway)
  08:50 = must arrive at the office
  09:00 = morning meeting with supervisor
  9:10 = start work
  12:00 = lunch (bento / canteen / restaurant nearby)
  13:00 = start working again
  17:00 = overtime begins (usually without overtime pay)
  20:30 = nomikai party (if any)
  21:30 = return to home (walking / bike ride / subway)
  22:30 = until home, watch TV, read the newspaper
  23:00 = sleep
  
  Repeat continuously from Monday to Friday.
  Saturday was usually home early (if there is overtime, work as usual).
  Sunday off (if there is overtime, work as usual).
  
•   Regulations in the office:
  # 1. If the boss says the earth is square, box shape of the earth.
  # 2. If he changes his mind, then the earth is also the shape changes.
  # 3. Forget what your customers are saying. Boss is king.
  # 4. New employees? Boss is God.
  # 5. Bowed. Bowed. Bowed.
