Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
When I talk to all sorts of people, there’s a phrase that people who are looking to change jobs often say
"I wonder if there's a good company out there... I want to switch to a good company!" That's what people usually say, lol.
What exactly is a "good company"?
Can you explain that in more detail?
For example, a company that pays high salaries, offers plenty of time off, gives generous bonuses, and doesn't require business trips.
A company where the boss is kind, the employees are competent, and the company car isn't a Probox.
You might be surprised to hear this, but there isn't a single company like that anywhere in the country, lol.
There's no such thing as a company that good!
No, no—I heard that company is great!
I heard that company has the highest salaries in Japan! (Keyence)
To get to the heart of the matter, to get a job at the company with the highest salaries in Japan, you first need to have graduated from a good university (with a high standardized test score) and possess exceptional abilities.
On top of that, you’ll be saddled with hellish overtime and sales quotas.
In the end, there are pros and cons.
It's the grass on the other side.
The slopes in other work zones look like they have lush, thriving vegetation.
Instead of just looking for a "good" company, ask yourself: "How much am I willing to tolerate at this company?" If you consider companies you can compromise with, you'll find even more options for changing jobs than ever before.
For example, in Nagano, I won't settle for less than 4 million yen in salary.
Business trips are okay once in a while.
Cars and anything else are fine.
If you're on a salary system, it's okay even without a bonus, or something like that
If you look for areas where you can say, “Well, I guess I can compromise on this,” you’ll probably find a company that’s a good fit for you!
Every company has its good points and its bad points.
That’s just the way it is. If you’re determined to run a company exactly the way you want, your only option is to start your own business.
But even if you start a company because you want to do things your own way and don’t want to be told what to do, the situation changes completely once you hire employees, doesn’t it?
I end up being even more careful than before, and I’m like, “Wait, this isn’t what I expected!?” lol (speaking from experience)
In the end, the company belongs to the employees! A company can only exist because of its employees. A company where the CEO just acts all high and mighty is total crap, lol (Rules are a different story).
I recommend that you do your best to turn things around, be willing to compromise, and if that doesn’t work, look for a company where you can grow more than you can here.
Growing here might not be easy—it might actually involve a lot of hard work—but if it eventually becomes easy, that probably means you’re growing.
Rather than joining a "great" company, choosing a company where you can compromise and still grow (and gain experience) is what adds depth to your life!
Come to think of it, the slope construction industry is becoming a more employee-friendly industry than ever before.
I highly recommend this to everyone! (Out of the blue, lol)
If you're interested, it might be a good idea to look for a slope maintenance company near you.
See you later.
