        People gotta remember that Japan isn’t USA or Europe when it comes to worker rights, or most rights, really, and that justice in each country can vary wildly

            I did not say nor implied that. I said that people should not expect worker rights, or any rights, to be universal among countries, much less the whole judicial process and its consequences.

            Whether Japanese worker rights are better or worse than USA/EU, I do not know.

            All I know are black companies where staff dies from exhaustion lol.

            On the other hand company cannot fire you easily and they do have special rooms for workers they wanna let go, with menial and useless jobs assigned to basically force you into quitting.

            Also quitting is so socially frowned upon that people hire other people to handle that for them.

          I should never fight for my rights. I might be perceived as somebody who fights for my rights.

              No, you prefer to be “realist.” Others have the will to fight. Any attempt to get others to conform to your lack of fight for workers rights is class sabotage.

              Don’t be one of those wage slaves telling others not to fight for freedom because it’s illegal and the beatings aren’t that bad anyway.

                I live in a country with much better worker’s rights then Japan or the US. I’ve gone through disputes with employers. I can tell you that it’s rarely worth the battle. And if you do “win” you wouldn’t want to work at that place any longer. If it’s about something that could pay out big, it’s usually better for your mental health to have left that place a long time ago.

                Being realistic is knowing when it’s better to move on and find a better job. Sticking around just so you can “win” a legal battle will just make your life miserable.

                    Put the justice boner away. If you make a name for yourself as the whistleblower, you will tank your career.

                    I don’t agree with it. I don’t think it’s the way the world should work. But I recognise you can’t go guns blazing and not expect to get shot down.

                    You have to pick your battles.
