  • The twice yearly bonus season
  • The Ice Age generation and the Yutori generation
  • Job gata/job-based hiring, job type system
  • Haizoku gacha – random assignments
  • Re-skilling
  • Black company, overtime and karoshi (death from overwork)
  • Hara hara – harassing about harassment
  • The end of the nomikai (after work drinks party)? 
  • Taishoku daiko – proxy quitting
