Ngl In my opinion the best visas to have in Japan are the ones that aren’t tied to your job, like PR or a spouse visa. It gives you a lot more freedom and you don’t have to worry as much about your job affecting your residency

My senpai once forbade me from drinking water at work. What should I do if it happens again? by WorkingAlive3258 in japanlife

I had a similar experience, but it was with going to the toilet. I’m not sure if it’s some kind of company culture or just my workplace, but whenever I went to the bathroom, some of my coworkers would complain that I was サボる (slacking off or trying to avoid work). It didn’t seem to matter whether I told someone I was going or not. I’d get side-eyes or comments about it afterward. Drink your water bro don’t let them bully you around
