On the subject of a salaryman's lifestyle: "Depending on one’s company, this overtime may be compensated or “service overtime” —“service” in Japanese means “thrown in for free in the hopes of gaining one’s further custom”, so your favorite restaurant might throw in a “service” desert once in a while or you might do 8 hours of “service” overtime six nights a week for 15 years."Originally posted by NickFitz View PostPatrick McKenzie, an American who lives in Japan, has a lot of good stories about their odd (to us) business ways, e.g. Doing Business In Japan | Kalzumeus Software
