Tại sao người Nhật ghét làm việc với người nước ngoài (Why Japanese Hate Working with Foreigners)
- Don't over promise and under deliver in Japan There's a beauty in being humble and to understate one's abilities which might be quite the opposite to many western tendencies This starts with a resume when foreigners overstate their skill level whether it be a technical skill for say software proficiency Or saying that they have business level Japanese when it's actually at a much lower level Thinking selfishly that this is what they need to do in order to get the job and when they get to work on the first Day, they're expected to read business level documents, but are unable to or if they can it's at an uncomfortably slow pace It's quite a letdown to the team who was expecting that their new teammate would be able to share their current workload But rather this person is now a liability to the team which may even foster co-worker distrust and resentment See Japanese are taught to be humble from a young age and generally have a distaste for self-centered co-workers It's normal for them to say less than they can actually do but in turn if they say they can do something It's expected that they'll be amazing at it So from the start, it's best not to lie to your Japanese teammates be humble and honest with your abilities Number two don't go home when that job isn't complete So typical salary jobs in Japan have set hours like nine to six with an hour lunch break So many foreigners think it's okay to leave just after 6 p.m Even though the job may not be finished yet more often than not the job in many companies is a team effort Which also has deadlines therefore when working in Japan It's no longer about me me me your actions directly impact the team and their ability to also go home see Japanese from an early age already know how to work Well as a team because one of their main focuses in their school system is shudan kodo collective action In contrast to many western schools who may focus more on individual accomplishments therefore as kids Japanese naturally master how to be considerate of others and to help one another out They wouldn't go home if the job isn't complete as it would create a burden on their co-workers Who'll have to cover their responsibilities as a deadline in Japan is an absolute something that can't be missed It's definitely not a rough time frame where most things need to be almost complete This is one of the reasons why in a Japanese workplace they have a commonly understood phrase Which stands for hokoku renraku and sodan which means report communicate and consult in other words There's an unwritten expectation of a continual communication loop with japanese team members and managers Which helps ensure that everyone knows how you're doing on your tasks if you have any issues And if other co-workers need to help you finish this even applies to little things like going home when japanese announced before they leave Osaki Please excuse me because i'm going home before you so if you're working in japan and don't know this already Some of your co-workers may already dislike working with you Oh and one more tip you're not gonna win any points with your team if you continue to ask them When do you think we're gonna finish number three don't submit work?
