Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
This is a continuation of the previous post.
My boss is a foreigner
Before I knew it,
It’s not uncommon for a coworker from the same hiring class to become your boss.
The difference is a staggering amount of time.
Person A and Person B have two days off per week and three days off per week, respectively.
Let's say Person A is Japanese and Person B is Vietnamese.
Mr. B, a Vietnamese national, will become Mr. A's supervisor.
Mr. B, a Vietnamese national,Approximately 2,080 hours (equivalent to 260 days)
The fact that I work more than Mr. A means there’s a huge difference in our experience!
And this gap will never be bridged again.
Unless Person B suddenly slacks off and stops working, I won't be able to catch up...
A Japan Where Foreigners Can Thrive
This phenomenon is about to happen in Japan!
In fiscal year 10, there will likely be many foreigners hiring Japanese people.
Even for foreign workers, if they pay their taxes and work in strict compliance with Japanese law, their status will certainly improve.
It doesn't matter whether you're Japanese or a foreigner.
There are few Japanese people who are extremely discriminatory; they are a people who welcome foreigners.
(There are some weird people out there, but it's the same all over the world lol)
Japan has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past decade.
Blue-collar workers are being reevaluated around the world.
I think this might actually be an opportunity for foreign workers, in a way.
If you work hard and thoroughly study the industry’s specialized knowledge, you’re sure to become someone who can rise above your Japanese counterparts.
And we Japanese business leaders also value our foreign employees very highly!
We really value the foreign workers we have available right now.
A Future Where Foreign Workers Take Center Stage
In Japan, construction projects simply can’t be carried out without foreign workers!!
However, people who try to take advantage of that probably won't make it.
Japanese people like humble people.
I really love people who are humble and work hard, one step at a time!
That's where people are judging you—they may not seem to be looking, but they are.
If that still doesn't work, it's the management's fault—so capable people should look for a new job!
I believe that in the future, Japan will be a place where everyone—including foreign workers—has opportunities.
See you later.
