Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Work here in Hokkaido is almost finished, and I'll be heading back next week.
A lot happened on this job site.
Well, in a way, for some people, that would probably be the worst-case scenario.
But maybe it turned out to be a good thing for me.
I feel like the company has shed some of its baggage.
Work has gotten a little tougher, but for now, we're back to business as usual lol
I'll give you the details sometime later lol
But that's beside the point.
Starting next year, we'll have Vietnamese employees joining our company.
Lately, I’ve been hearing that kind of thing a lot.
In many cases, the same company handles the placement.
I have a feeling that next year, in particular, will see a large number of foreign technical interns.
I hear it’s a major source of employment in my slope stabilization industry as well.
I suppose there’s no future for civil engineering without foreign workers, is there?
As for how foreign workers are treated, there seems to be a huge disparity between places where they’re treated terribly and places where they’re treated very well.
After all, they're here for the money, so they'll probably put up with a certain amount of it.
However, it seems that if the environment is too harsh, they may run away.
If you search using the terms above, you'll find quite a few examples.
It seems that people are often poached right before their internships end.
After all, they have their own network, and based on what’s said within that circle, this is a good company.
It seems they talk about things like that, or how this is a bad company.
I suppose that’s just the way it is, even for Japanese people.
Japanese workers have the freedom to choose their occupation, as guaranteed by the Constitution.But they're different.
They don't have the freedom to choose their own careers in Japan. It's really tough not being able to choose for yourself, isn't it!?
That’s exactly why you might sometimes feel like running away from a job that doesn’t feel like a good fit for you.
Freedom of Occupational Choice
I suppose it’s the company’s atmosphere and employee benefits that make you want to keep pushing forward.
I've heard that people have quit at a company run by someone I know, too.
Well, in reality, most of them are probably just suspicious poaching attempts within the network.
I can't say for sure what will happen with the foreign employees at our company, but I'm kind of looking forward to it.
However, there is one thing people say you should definitely do.
They absolutely do not allow employees to use their native language while at work. Apparently, they are required to speak Japanese.
By doing so, I hope you’ll make an effort to adapt to life in Japan. We’ll do our best to support you, too!
See you later.
