Problems at Work
Although I started working at my company since August of last year, I am still having problems with my boss, my contract, the Japanese work mentality, and getting paid. I knew from when I went into my interview, and saw how small the company was and the various fields the company was involved in, that it would either be a good chance or a bad experience. Unfortunately so far, it is turning out to be the latter. Still, I am learning a lot about myself, business, and what to do, and not to do in the future. On the lighter side, I was able to get my visa renewed, which was quite a pressing matter at the time. Anyway, I had a fairly productive meeting with my boss but will still have to wait till the end of the month to see if I finally get paid or end up fired…

Whatever happens, you still lived up a good part of your life in Japan. Good luck.
Comment by lt — 1/18/2010 @ 6:43 pmYou haven’t been getting paid?? Wow that sucks! Looks like you’ll be staying in Japan for a long while then? When I first met you I thought you’d only last a few months. How wrong was I!

I hope it’s not the case that you haven’t been getting paid since Aug. Usually that means the company just "fixed the glitch” and waiting for things to work itself out naturally. But at least you still gained all that work experience. Maybe you can take over as a certain somebody’s sister’s boss, and actually get things done efficiently.
