5 Tips! How to deal with people you don’t like at work!

When you are working, you have many opportunities to interact with people on a daily basis, and you often have to deal with people you are not comfortable with. When you are working with people you are not comfortable with, it can be difficult to get the job done. Relationship stress is always one of the top reasons for changing jobs.

Why is the paid vacation rate so low in Japan?

In Japan, there is a big holiday week called Golden Week (GW) in early May. Since Japanese people can take a long vacation without having to take time off from work or school, with many people go out during this period. This causes traffic jams on the highways around the Tokyo area and crowds of people at tourist spots. This year, for the first time in two years, the restrictions on pandemic have been loosened, and many people may have been encouraged to go out. However, Japanese people tend to take vacations of two or three nights, which is very different from the style of foreigners who take longer vacations of 2 weeks or longer. In addition, Japanese people are very considerate of others, and it is customary to buy souvenirs for those who have taken care of them on a regular basis. Foreigners may find it hard to believe that they have to worry about souvenirs when they have come all the way here on vacation! Foreigners buy souvenirs for themselves, not for others, as a memento of their visit.
