Working for a Japanese company I have been working at a Japanese company for a year. And I feel it is so strict and conservative. Japanese don’t seem to be good at English, and I can’t speak Japanese. After a year not practicing, my English skill is worse. When they pronounce a word wrong, I correct for them, but next time, they still make that mistake. Again again and again, so I have to try to understand their own English. I remember at the first working day, they gave me many disciplines to follow Such as: Don’t lean on the chair when sitting to work, don’t take off your shoes, don’t eat, don’t lean your chin on your hand, don’t talk too loud, don’t talk about other things except working problems, don’t play game even though you finished your work, don’t ….don’t….and don’t. A girl sneeze 2 times and she has to off from work that day because they afraid she will transmit illness for other people….Although she isn’t ill??? And i can’t imagine how careful they are. More exactly, they are so punctilious, always go in details. My boss always comment the way I write an email “please check attached file? You forgot “the”, I think it should be please check the attached file”. Okay, I can edit it next time. But one day, she said “you use its pleasure to working with you in email, it’s so boorish and not business, not professional, you should use hello, good morning, how are you today”. I can’t stand her anymore, She always wants to correct my English though she can only speak Japanese. Sometimes I really want to break the rules, leave this company and find a new job. But to find other company can pay me better than here is so difficult, because my working skill is not too much. Additional, my English skill is going down. I need to improve it for my future job. Please help!
