I think a middle-aged guy's job is all about exploration, education, and watching over others!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Who takes responsibility for your actions? It’s a topic that comes up often on the job, isn’t it? And this has a significant impact on whether young employees grow or end up leaving the company. An environment where young employees can grow is one where they’re free to fail…
It's the end of the work year, followed by a long New Year's break! Be very careful out there—have a great time!!!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Well, the long New Year’s holiday is about to begin! I guess I’ll head back to my parents’ place for now? lol Apparently, this is the day when the travel rush is at its peak this year. I don’t really have a “home” to go back to, so I was planning to stay in Aichi, but I’m heading to Tokyo on the 29th for a site visit. lol Yeah…
Toward the end of the year, it’s good to do some cleaning, but don’t forget to take proper security precautions at the same time!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s really starting to feel like the end of the year, isn’t it? lol Today’s the last day of work for the year. Now that the construction sites are wrapped up, are you guys cleaning the office or washing your cars today? Security measures are important, too. Anyway, what if your equipment gets stolen? Thieves…
When preparing the ends of rebar inserts, is it better not to tighten the nuts?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m sometimes asked, “How much torque do you apply when tightening rebar inserts?” What are your thoughts on this? Basically, you just tighten them enough so they don’t come loose, but occasionally some people say you should use a specific load controlled by torque…
Since it’s the end of the year, we’re performing major maintenance on the fall arrest devices to get them ready for next year!!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s Christmas, huh? lol Personally, I couldn’t care less, though. Well, I guess it’s kind of a once-a-year event for the kids. Those of you who enjoy Christmas, go ahead and enjoy it—the rest of us will just get on with our work (wrapping up the year) lol. Anyway, back to the topic at hand… only two days left…
Knowledge and action are directly linked!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s already the 24th. Only three days left until the end of the year. Let’s take it easy and not rush. Getting flustered now won’t change anything. I’m sure there will be cases where we have to wrap things up before the end of the year due to on-site circumstances, or where we just have to pack up and head out because of the snow. But anyway…
The civil engineering and slope stabilization industries should be streamlined even further in the future!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to a meeting at the factory I usually rely on for various development projects. I showed them some of our existing products and explained that I wanted to achieve a similar look using simpler, more straightforward manufacturing methods, but they said, “Let’s just keep doing it the way we always have…”
If you jump ship before your next pay raise, you’ll end up in a downward spiral where you keep losing out in life!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you know when pay raises typically happen? Generally speaking, you’re more likely to get a raise if you generate profits for the company or make a significant contribution to it, right? lol That’s a rough guideline, but in the construction industry, it’s usually…
A Look at the Future of Slope Greening!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was talking to a landscaping manufacturer. They said, “We’re hardly selling any base materials anymore!!!” which means that the landscaping business has dropped off dramatically. This product, which we used to make specifically for landscaping, has hardly been selling at all lately…
