yes, working in a japanese company, u have good prospect. Yes, they sometimes are demanding but you earn a lot of money.
yes, when u step into the office, you would have to say konnichiwa , and you could expect all of them also to say konnichiwa after you have said that. its daily respect. i can teach you everything abt japanese
NOTE* konnichiwa = ( good afternoon, hi )
ohayou gozaimasu = ( Good morning )
ohayou = ( Morning ) *Short form*
konbanwa = ( good evening )
feel free to view my forum : Japanese free online

kaoyaku = influential man ; boss
kashirabun = leader ; boss
touryou = chief , head ; boss
in this case you can address the boss in this manner, go to him and say
ossu and bow immediately.
ossu is greetings to the boss. those very important people

San is just like Mr.
I greet all my japanese counterparts Mr. in my emails.. they do reply me san.
Anyway, all this greeting forms are just cosmetic, it doesnt really add much value within the company.
Some japanese firms i visit often have their japanese FT in a more technical or higher lvl positions.
Japanese people tend to be more mellow and shy in their communication, because of this, Japs working in SG tend to prefer working alone. Its sad most of them are loners..
perhaps due to their strongly xenophobic society.
English standards and communications tend to be horrible as they read and write horrible english, u would have to reply in horrible simple english too, so that they can understand.
I would say most japs working in Sg are quiet, reserved but super super hardworking.
Its interesting, if you work in production, they may require u to do morning warming exercise to relax and warm up the morning muscles.
I find that they tend to be very tolerant on Chinese customs too, of the 2 japanese companies i used to work in, both set alters of chinese/buddhist gods at the back of the office building and during 7th month Chinese ghost festivals, we would set up tentages to pray the ghosts and gods.
The big big jap boss would led by example to set joss sticks and cut the roast pig.
CNY holidays tend to be as long, if not longer than other companies.
They pay moderately good too.
2 things you probably can't stand about japs are their standards, they are very reluctant to switch to international terminolgy, e.g, ASME scales, accounting, units of measurements, etc, etc. This stubborness probably made them lose out on the cutting edge against USA and european competitors. most of the time i have to convert this, convert that, translate this, translate that..
secondly is their horrible accented english.
But on the whole, very hardworking, dedicated and loyal.....btw, rich too.. -
Not sure if the staff benefits are good, but some of them will make you listen to music and exercise in the morning. I have also seen chi koh pek Jap bosses.

that's nothing new.Originally posted by Wanda:I have also seen chi koh pek Jap bosses. -
