Nice. At least you only had to deal with them for 8 hours. I’m not sure which was better when flying back from Japan, the flight attendants thinking they were drill sergeants, the seats jammed against my knees, or their turning out all the lights, closing the window shutters, and then leaving on the in-flight movies extra bright. At least I got to fly ANA back with a good amount of legroom, really nice attendants, and sweet entertainment displays.
Great article, as always. Maybe you could write one on how to break up with someone despite not having a stronger reason than just not feeling it. She’s a great girl, but I just don’t see it goin anywhere… sigh.
I’ve been working in Tokyo post grad, and it’s just as bad if not worse here (Yahoo had an article about the 100 hour work week at IBM Japan, which happens to be where my boss used to work). The pressure to work late kept growing and growing and I before long I was just hating life. Sat down with my boss and told him I would quit if it kept going the way it was and it has gotten much better since then. Like Caroline said, communication is huge. Most people aren’t giant douches, they just become that at work.
