Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
This is a continuation of the previous post.
The Drawbacks of the Technical Intern Training Program Network
Technical interns (especially those from Vietnam) connect with each other on Facebook.
When we Japanese go abroad (and end up living there), we’ll probably exchange information with other Japanese people living in the area, right?
Similarly, they also use social media to exchange information.
Naturally, the discussion will also cover the current situation at my company.
For example, severe violence, verbal abuse, or unreasonable behavior.
They sometimes use their cell phone cameras to record Japanese people who start making abusive remarks and then share the footage.
Since even Japanese people do the same thing, I guess it’s only natural that they’d do it, lol.
We live in an age where evidence is crucial.
Also, since technical interns who are currently undergoing training in their home countries and are about to travel to Japan are participating in that program,
You'll get to know the true nature of the company you're about to join. (Provided you've been employed there for at least two terms.)
The fact that some people decline the offer at that stage suggests that the company...
Conversely, even at good companies, you’ll still get swept along to some extent.
This is similar to how it is in Japan—young people say things like, “Your company’s pretty great, isn’t it?”
So the slope next to it is blue, lol.
And of course, please be aware that everything—from my salary to my allowances—is public info lol
Negotiating Money
Once their skills have improved to a certain level, they may start negotiating their salary.
Especially starting in the third year and beyond.
I’ll be returning home temporarily in my third year, but a pay raise is essential if I’m to continue working as a Category 3 Technical Intern.
Since the employees will leave if the company does not accommodate this, we must take it into consideration.
To be honest, if you've stuck with it for three years, it's only natural to be on a high!
I don't think a delay is even a possibility.
When you consider the costs of hiring new employees and training them, a pay increase of tens of thousands a month isn't all that significant.
By this point, they’ll be handling the same workload as Japanese employees, and their communication skills will be decent.
As long as I'm not way off base, it's enough if I can just laugh it off, lol.
And even though we're talking one-on-one, we know each other's salaries, so,
Just be prepared for that one thing and make sure to set yourself apart.
The Drawbacks of Employing Technical Intern Trainees
I think this has indeed made it harder for Japanese workers to get raises.
Under normal circumstances, the labor shortage would make it impossible to even carry out the construction work, and
I think wages were supposed to skyrocket.
However, as more and more technical interns began arriving, Japanese workers’ wages were diverted to them.
As a result, Japanese salaries have remained unchanged.
That said, Japan’s current public works sector simply couldn’t function without technical interns.
There are also many people on YouTube who criticize the Technical Intern Training Program.
And I've never even worked in that kind of environment, lol
It's always been like this, but it's always the people who don't do anything or don't chip in who are the ones chiming in from the sidelines lol
Still, since the burden per person has been significantly reduced, I suppose that’s a good thing in its own way.
This job really is pretty tough.
If you end up working your ass off with no time to rest—even if your pay goes up because of a labor shortage—that’s not a sustainable situation either.
There are various opinions on this, but personally, I think this system might actually work.
To be continued
See you later
