I'd like to share "tecniques" about how to survive in the
japanese work environment. I've been working here in Japan
for about 5 years and sometimes I feel that I have to learn
much more yet.. :-)
Here is my "first" Hint:
1) Never ask your boss first if you REALLY want to do something.
Explanation: Japanese take a very long time to decide anything
(they love "consensus"). It much easier to do something first
and after that say "sumimasen shiranakatta." (Sorry, I didn't
know...) :-)
