[Shocking] A Scene Where Women Are Turned Into ”Spectacles” Has Emerged! The Forced Promotion of “Construction Komachi” Makes Me Sick…

The Term “Kensetsu Komachi” That’s All the Rage in the Construction Industry I’m a rookie engineer in my second year at a general contractor, having joined the company right out of college to work as a construction manager. However, I’m already starting to feel out of place in the construction industry. That’s because they’ve even coined a term like “Kensetsu Komachi” and are desperately trying to attract women…

Unpleasant Work Is Preparation for the Work You Love | Mindset

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Lately, I’ve been getting sick of doing nothing but office work for the next job site, lol. No matter what people say, being on-site is still the best.

Why Choose Us | What Sets Hosumaya Apart

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Today’s my third day. I’m working as a beer vendor. Working in a completely different industry is really exhausting, lol. It’s a simple job—just serving beer and taking money—but it’s tiring. I’m starting to wonder if the food and beverage industry just isn’t for me. Probably because there are so many random people…

Be Kind to Others | Relationships at Slope Construction

Hi everyone, this is Enta. Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about Vietnamese people. People say, “The kids at my place work really hard!” and “The kids who come to my place are lazy!” And the reason they’re lazy? Apparently, they were secretly drinking water! LOL. Wait, that’s totally normal!! Japanese people do it too…

This is something that slope construction companies usually use…
