The bad tradition of unpaid overtime work

f:id:bolduc:20171130210806p:plain

I think Japanese people are too rigid about beginning of work time, though they aren’t rigid about end of work time,
So there is a lot of unpaid overtime work😡
 
Japanese GDP is not high ,I think because many people waste time with boring formal things.🤔 
 
For example Japanese style rule of the stump.
 
There are many manners I think I don’t need.
 
How do you think about it?
 
 
Samia: I think long hours of underpaid overtime is common in a lot of Asian countries. Do you think it will change?
 
 
@Samia
That is a bad tradition.
I think Employees should claim “My work time is over. If you want me to more work, you should pay money 💰.”
I know it is difficult.
But if many people say that, we can change it.
 
 
You are absolutely right! There is the Pareto Principle. You can get 80 percent of the work done in 20 percent. But for the remaining 20 percent of work you will need 80 percent of the time.
Japanese people should accept only 80 percent more often! 😁 then there would be enough time for more important tasks. Without doing overtime at all!
