He says they are always talking to themselves about what they are doing as they are doing it. For example, when someone is walking down the hall they will say "very busy, so very busy". They also do not make eye contact and smiling to someone you don't know is rude. ________________________________ From: Andy Shook [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 10:55 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Ot - Working with Japanese Company (was: OT - Reduction in hours, forced to use PTO) Deck the Ralls with Roughs of Rolly Fa-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra Or ROR Raff out Roud Shook From: Scott Williamson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 10:46 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Ot - Working with Japanese Company (was: OT - Reduction in hours, forced to use PTO) Since our hours are cut 20%, that could mean one thing.. company is a slow motion train wreck. Now that morale has hit rock bottom, people are talking about using the Fridays off to look for new jobs... whatever is out there. I have a led on a company that is Japanese based. They have a office here in Southern California and they are looking for an IT Director. I have been an IT manager for about 10 years and the description of the job is basically what I do now. My sister-in-law's mother also works for the company and she will personally hand the resume to the COO of the company. My question.. any tips and tricks working for a Japanese company? The culture? ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The information transmitted, or contained or attached to or with this Notice is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain Protected Health Information (PHI), confidential and/or privileged material.
