What's the most ridiculous thing your Japanese workplace has told you it was not ok to do?
I'll go first. I was told I should hide in the kitchenette to eat my breakfast and not at my desk in the staff room because they don't want the kids at school to see me eating snacks. 🤷♀️

Just want to say that a lot of people love to blame foreign tourism for crowds. But this was tonight at Kiyomizudera. Japanese tourists are just as bad.

If any of you plan to send your kid to a Japanese private school and you're going to one of those tours now, ask a teacher teaching there if they're willing to send their own kid to the school they work at.
If they hesitate, it's possible the school isn't as good as you think.

Japanese is honestly such an inefficient language if you think about it.

Yet all the JP staff eats at their desk and it's ok. I've seen JP staff eat onigiri at their desk during their down time. And they eat omiyage at their desk.
I'm the weird one? Ok lol.
these are the kinds of gaijin in jp threads I can’t get with bc it’s mostly ppl just being culturally rude and then calling the jp reaction to that “ridiculous”

It's not that I want to be there overworking. And yes, I know y'all parents have it bad too... but I literally spend all day babysitting your kids AND teach AND make materials AND check homework.

It's really damn frustrating to help students improve English in Japan because while you're trying to improve spoken fluency, the road block is always the teachers' obsession with grammar, people's obsession with strict rules, time, or exams. Or all of the above.

As if I care about authenticity. I just want rules to make sense and if someone tells me I can't use my paid holidays, for example (which has happened), I want to know why the fuck not.
