This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Be Japanese
Have dead-end job in back of office
No work to do, no upward mobility, no future opportunities
Collect a steady paycheck every two weeks. Feels-Good-Man.jpg
New PM takes office. Goes full MAGA nationalist. Picks trade wars. Starts fights with neighbors. Alienates people inside our own sphere of influence even.
Oh shit, bros. Looks like its another All-Ramen month again.
And not the Ramen Shop kind
But that exact thing happened in USAmerica when they did it? Who could've predicted this result!?!?
I wonder if that balances out with the tariffs. Maybe I could start buying stuff from there again.
Boss can't fire me because i'm japanese
well obviously this is not real
They can but it's unusual. They have an honor system and expect people to quit. They'll go as far as sticking people in a room with nothing to do and not able to sleep until they give up, essentially adult time out.
They expect to own you until the day you die.
Interviewed for a job there. They asked how long I would want to work for them. Told them I'd absolutely love to work for them as long as they can host my visa, and I'd love to even become a citizen.
That... Was not the right answer.
The interview was over from them on.
I still do not know what I said wrong. They don't allow remote work so... Do they want me to become an illegal just to work for them?
Probably the visa aspect. Japan is like famously racist and xenophobic.
I'm so at my wits end with hiring managers that I would just email "okay so what was the right answer??"
I don't know the full story, but that is apparently somewhat true. That's why you'll hear in games and manga that someone in a fairly auspicious position will get punished by cleaning toilets or something.
I see. That's incredibly based then?
fake: anon has a wife
gay: anon is punished by his boss and likes it, which is clearly a euphemism for the forbidden but very kinky relationship between anon and his boss
Yeah, no, when someone’s secluded, they’re often put in an empty room without so much as a window, and given literally nothing to do, but sit there. Can’t even have a phone out. It’d drive me mad enough to quit, and the same is true of lots of people.
This would be considered power harassment in Japan and you can sue for it. Companies try to do it anyways though.
This is the story of a man named Stanley...
imaginary friend game weak

So you're saying it works.
Not legal in countries where you cant outright fire people. You have to get them tasks. No phone out wouldnt be enforceable unless they sit you in a bunker with no connection.
Is it? It's your boss' duty to provide you with work and they cannot dock your pay (outside of special circumstances) if they don't have work for you, but they can absolutely pay you to sit around and drink coffee in case work comes around.
Your task is to hand write copies of the company slogan for every working hour.
In Japan, thats the whole point. The business will do this to make you quit instead of them firing you. They have whack employment laws.
Sounds good in a way because you can take as long as you like applying for other jobs without losing your current income.
Often comes with a job title change and people notice those sorts of things in Japan.
WHY IS NOBODY CREATING MORE MEAT FOR THE MACHINE!?!?!?
Politicians unable to get people to make fuck trophies because they can't afford crap, have to slave away until they're 70, return to a shoe box as a home, breathe polluted air from birth to death, and survive a burning planet.
No idea why people don't want to pump out more than 2.1 units per woman. It's a total mystery!

People living in significantly worse conditions have historically produced significantly more children.
But the modern post-industrial lifestyle discourages people from having children primarily because of easy access to birth control. That means you can fuck without risk of having babies. For young people, this is a no-brainer. Condom use, UIDs, and hormonal birth control have tanked teenage/early-20s birth rates everywhere it has been introduced. Combine this with good health care, globally, and many people no longer fear they will lose half their children to some infant malady or childhood accident. Low Child Mortality -> Lower Propensity to Have Kids.
If you want higher rates of reproduction in your population, you need younger people having babies. And you need more people convinced that the kids they do have won't live to see adulthood.
Say what you will about the current Trump government, but we're definitely moving in those directions.
Right-wing bullshit propaganda. Freedumb of screech for beta males who can't recognise they're being controlled by wealthy, Christian nationalists, but freedom of choice for women is a problem.
The earlier women have kids, the greater the chance they will not have a degree, be successful earlier in their carrier and the greater risk of being controlled, and that's exactly your goal. You and your kind just want obedient, subservient women who don't talk back and suck your tiny stinky peckers when you need it.
Keep your pedophile hands away from the kids. Grow a modicum of self-respect to stop bending over backwards to suck Epstein class dick and spreading their filthy propaganda.
I agree with you but people who call other humans fuck trophies or crotch goblins are usually just the fucking worst most insufferable people ever.
My entire message is filled with hyperbole and you go "all the other stuff is fine, but I draw the line at 'fuck trophy'". You're the type of person who will break up a peaceful demonstration because somebody wore the wrong clothes that day.
The enemy of good, the friend of perfect.
holy straw man.
You don't think I should call human children fuck trophy's? You must be pro police brutality.
Jfc I clocked you perfectly it seems.
Sure you did. What are you, a cop that pulls over minorities by "clocking" them by instinct? GTFO
The entire not leaving until your boss leaves (who also must leave after her boss leaves) leads to a chain where only the CEO gets off first, leading to the really toxic 14 hour days. At least layoffs don't seem to be as prevalent there.
