Lesson 60


Today’s Japanese Business Slang is “Kigyou-senshi”.

 

“Kigyou-senshi” means “Corporate Warriors”.  Japanese businessmen were called Corporate Warriors in 1990.

“Warriors”, not “Workers”, who fight deadly.

Famous copy of one TV advertisement was “Can you fight 24 hours?”

Here the word of “Fight” was used instead of “Work”.

In 1990 the monthly overwork hours was averagely over 100 which is beyond “Karoushi Line (Death by Overwork)”.  Everyone worked too hard.

Definitely unbelievable.
