Not a good look! Then again they're a bunch of old men.

Posted in: Rate of small firms in Japan hiking wages rises to 63% in FY2024 See in context

Labor competition is the only thing able to significantly raise wages. But if a company know A-san will be there for life and not be poached by another company, then of course there is no incentive to raise A-san's salary to prevent him from leaving.

Posted in: Man arrested for falsely reporting he was stabbed, robbed See in context

Police said an examination of street surveillance camera footage showed no one else in the area at the time Ono claimed he had been attacked.

Imagine just taking a normal morning walk minding your own business, end up in the security footage, and end up being framed as the stabber!!!

The Three Body Problem is a legit good novel. But I don't like how these are considered a "cultural export". Let people connect via the live

These are the kind of statements made when there is no more hope.

Posted in: Many Japanese outside major urban areas do not engage with foreigners: survey See in context

Asked whether they want a higher percentage of foreigners in their community, 54.5 percent said they do not,

They would rather let their country slip into irrelevancy. It's already happening with Germany overtaking to be 3rd largest economy.

She's there as a figure head. Nothing more.

Not only that, I'm worried she could be the fall guy if something bad happens.

This means some higher up dinosaur just retired. Regardless, we should praise the ministry so that they'll feel motivated to do more improvements.

What this guy did is truly despicable.

But why is a law implemented in 2022 being applied to a crime that happened in 2021 ???

It doesn't seem right. !!!

Why stop at 2021? Why not go way back more and lock up a lot of juveniles who are adults now?

Please inform me!!

Posted in: Fujitsu in firing line over UK Post Office scandal See in context

Postal service executives, refusing to acknowledge problems with the software, forced workers to repay the shortfalls.

This was the main problem.

Software bugs happen all the time. This main issue is with how the postal executives handled the situation.

I guess they didn't want to admit a system they already spent billions on has some fault cause that will mean millions more too replace them or the reputation of some higher up in jeopardy. So they just kept plugging the holes by accusing lower level workers of theft.

Just despicable!

Am glad the embassy is safe.

But in all seriousness guys, if your country embassy requires police to guard it you know you're guilty of something. A lot of 3rd world embassies don't need them.

Posted in: Security tight for Halloween in Shibuya See in context

Drove there with my bike. Witnessed how the place was turned into a 1984 Orwellian waste land.

This was done for the 20% elderly of Shibuya. Which are probably 50% of the voting population. It would've never happened back in the day when young people were the majority.

I pity young people in Japan. Things will only get worse.
