Glad, relieved, and very thankful to see an evolving Japanese work environment.
Major shock of my life was when Japanese colleagues and bosses started asking how my house search was going. (omg nangungumusta sila! XD) Then we chatted about my options, they gave their opinion as well as tips. And this was during work hours, mind you, not during nomikai.
Then during work hours colleagues and I would chat, other colleagues would also pitch in and join the conversation. And conversations would be happening throughout the workplace, work and non-work discussions. Really good “ba” smile emoticon
Then last night I stayed in the office till past 7:30PM for an urgent matter, and our department head exclaimed, “How could you let her work so late?” Overtime was no longer the norm. Yokatta desu.
Thank you Lord smile emoticon
(Thank you Globalization XD)
