Hello, everyone. This is Enta. “Japanese and Foreign Workers: The Real Feelings and Reality Seen on the Job Site”—I received a question regarding the blog post I wrote the other day titled “Japanese and Foreign Workers: The Real Feelings and Reality Seen on the Job Site.” [Question] If foreign workers were to leave, the workplace wouldn’t be able to function…
Are we entering an era where, amid labor shortages, even illegal operators and organized crime groups are willing to hire workers!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Four people arrested on suspicion of violating the Construction Business Act—Okinawa Prefectural Police. This has been an issue for a long time, but it’s hard to catch them, isn’t it? I think it happens quite often, especially at local companies, and it seems like even the big firms are doing it quite a bit. Though I guess the big firms probably aren’t doing it anymore…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you guys use delivery services? These days, there aren’t any companies that’ll actually deliver cement—it’s gotten ridiculous, right?! They say, “It’s already on its way!” but they still haven’t shown up even after noon, lol. It’s like dealing with a soba shop… And then they finally show up…
