		<description><![CDATA[Well, a letter about the company bonus was finally delivered today. Amost 3 months late. But I guess its better than no annoucement (which is what happened last may). The complete lack of any sort of apologetic tone in the letter is kind of getting to me a bit. Though there were raises, they are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday we had a Christmas party starting at 17h30 (which is still inside work hours) and pretty much everybody took part. It was good to be able to chat to people (expecially our Managing Directior) outside the confines of the business environment and could speak in a more casual way. At 19h00 a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, the employee interviews that I spoke of earlier (Emplyee Survey/Interview) happened last week. I have to say that it was an eye opening experience. So many rumours fly around here and may of them seem to be unsubsantiated and not endoresed by the managements. The best thing that came out was that an official [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard from my boss that there might be something called &#8220;Employee Interviews&#8221; in the coming months. I&#8217;m not 100% sure what that means but it sounds like a sit down with employee (about 25-30 of us) and talk to them to see how they feel about the direction of the company. I see a [...]]]></description>

In Japan, bonuses are extremely commonplace. Virtually every company pays out twice a year and the total is, on average, about 3 or 4 months worth [...]]]></description>
