First day at a different company.
Posted on | November 29, 2006 | 1 Comment
As I have am scheduled to work this week at a different company. My first day was quite a new experience. Everything seemed so much more traditionally Japanese. There were men of all ages trying to climb the corporate ladder, but virtuall all the women were in their 20s and most them in the lower portion. Traditionally, women were expected to work for a little while, find a husband, and become a housewife. That tradition still seems to be very much alive in this company.
Walking into the office area of any floor and it just looked like a sea of (off green/off blue) coloured cubicle dividers and people. Definitly one of those stereotypical office envirnments. It has definitly made me appreciate the way my current office looks. Though it might not be the best, the reds and wood tones definitly help the atmosphere.
I look forward to experiencing more of the life inside a real Japanese company in the coming days.
