Lesson 59


Today’s  business slang is “Service Zangyou”.

It means “Voluntary overtime work without payment”

 

In Japan many employees do “Service Zangyou” today.

Each department is allocated Overtime work budget and department heads also show the maximum number of overtime each month to each employee.

And employees do  not apply for the overtime because they can not finish their job within the allocated overtime hours.

 

Realistically bosses are required to assign jobs considering each employees’ capabilities and allocated overtime budget, but they are too lazy to do so.

 

In Japan it is not considered good to claim too much.  Therefore, employees are too patient and bring back their jobs to their home to finish without payment.

 

What do you think we can do to improve this situation?
