typical custom for Japanese companies to hire a person who is suitable
and not one who is very good right away .
E. Many female graduates complain that they are not given equal training
and equal opportunity in comparison to male graduates. Japanese
companies generally believe that female employees will eventually leave
to get married and have children. It is also true that, as well as the still-
existing belief among women themselves that nothing should stand in the
way of child-rearing, the extended hours of work often do not allow women
to continue their careers after marriage.
Japan is a highly patriarchal country.
H. On the job, working relationships tend to be very close because of the
long hours of work and years of service in common. Social life, in fact, is
frequently based on the workplace. Restaurants and nomi-ya, "pubs", are
always crowded at night with people enjoying an evening out with their
colleagues. Many companies organize trips and sports days for their
employees. Senior staff often play the role of mentor. This may mean
becoming involved in the lives of junior staff in such things as marriage
and the children's education.
