Hello, everyone.<\/p>\n

This is Enta.<\/p>\n

Do you smoke?<\/p>\n

\"Cigarettes\"<\/p>\n

The other day, as I was walking through town, a group of middle-aged construction workers (in their mid-50s and older) walked right past me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then, one middle-aged man, glancing around to make sure no one was watching, littered.<\/p>\n

My first thought was, \u201cIf you care about others, why would you litter!?\u201d but,<\/p>\n

After that, the other guys also littered without a second thought.<\/p>\n

There was a construction site for a building just ahead, so I think they were probably workers there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As soon as they step off the job site, they just toss their trash on the ground.<\/p>\n

It makes me, who's watching this, and the people around me feel uncomfortable, doesn't it?<\/p>\n

Plus, it really stands out!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, we,He's well-built, and since he's wearing work clothes, they're dirty!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you just toss a cigarette butt there, it really stands out, doesn't it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let's compare this to IT companies, on the other hand.<\/p>\n

Even just thinking of it as a workplace, it seems sophisticated, and since it\u2019s an indoor office, it doesn\u2019t really bring to mind cigarettes, does it?<\/p>\n

But in reality, there are actually quite a few companies where employees work while programming and chain-smoking (like a company I know, lol).<\/p>\n

But since that doesn't really show on the surface, people's perception of me hasn't changed!<\/p>\n

\"Cigarettes\"<\/p>\n

For those of us who work outdoors, the number of hours we spend smoking is strictly limited.<\/p>\n

Only during breaks!<\/p>\n

Other than that, there is no designated time for smoking. (This rule is generally the same at every company.)<\/p>\n

Especially in the construction industry these days, most job sites don't allow smoking while working, right?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had workers here in the past who didn\u2019t understand the rule against smoking while on the job. (Would they even get it if we told them?)<\/p>\n

I'm really grateful that there aren't any smokers here at all right now. (Smokers are required to smoke only during designated times.)<\/p>\n

\"Rest<\/p>\n

Since we work outdoors, I believe we need to improve our image even more than we have now.<\/p>\n

It's an industry that's always been called \"3K\" and even referred to as the \"bottom of the barrel,\" lol.<\/p>\n

The actual workplace is pretty clean, and the pay is through the roof\u2014so far from being at the bottom, there are actually a lot of high earners!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s extremely important because if you don\u2019t maintain a good image, it will affect your future job search.<\/p>\n

You\u2019d all love to see more and more new hires joining your company, right!?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We in the construction industry don't litter!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since the image is already negative, simply not littering is sure to improve it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope construction workers will be careful when they go out to eat while working in urban areas.<\/p>\n

We want to improve our image by strictly adhering to the rules and etiquette in our mountain work as well!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

See you later.<\/p>\n
