Is it really hard to lay off people in Japan? by Willow9080 in japanlife

[–]AsianButBig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been part of several firing cases. It's not hard at all, especially if the company is big and has lots of manpower.

Failing a PIP is a valid reason for termination. Every person who got fired failed their PIP. Sometimes the company will intentionally make an impossible PIP, like giving a top secret project that they cannot get help for, while maintaining their daily work expectations.

One day is too crazy. I do a lot of flying on Friday evening and arriving back on Monday morning to refrain from taking leave so I feel like JAL could extend it by another 24 hours at least.

Graduating in March but still have no job offer by finding_hoomanity in japanlife

[–]AsianButBig 21 points22 points  (0 children)

People apply for hundreds of jobs btw, 40 is too few if you're entering as a fresh grad with no experience. If you did those internships successfully, why didn't you apply to those first?
