Lesson 63

Thursday, November 3rd, 2022

Today’s Japanese business slang is “Jyoushi-Gacha”.

It means that no body can choose his/her boss and it all depends on one’s luck.

 

“Gacha” is a sort of game we can find at game corner in the shopping mall in the past or in the airport for foreign travelers recently.

If we insert JPY100 coin into the machine and turn the dial, the machine gives you one toy.  But, we can not choose the toy.  The machine randomly give you one toy from the many toys in the box.  Therefore, we can not select favorite toy.  It all depends on one’s luck.   

 

In the same way we can not choose one’s boss.

Like this way, the young people say “Jyoushi-Gacha” because they can not choose their boss.

 

We also have “Haizoku (Assignment)-Gacha” and “Oya (parents)-Gacha”.

 

I think that we should think how we can meet boss’s expectations rather than evaluating our boss.

That is more productive.

 

What do you think?
