Working in Japan

Eight people working in Japan speak on camera about what their jobs actually involve, from the hours expected of them to the unwritten rules of office life. The interviews move through corporate culture, hiring practices, and how much room there is for a career to change or advance once someone is inside a company. Subjects describe expectations around overtime, seniority, and the social side of work, the drinking sessions and obligations that often follow the clock-out time, and how foreign workers experience the same systems differently than Japanese colleagues. The film has no narrator steering the conversation; it lets the subjects' accounts sit side by side, some more satisfied than others, so the contradictions in how people describe the same corporate culture stay visible rather than resolved. It works as a plain, on-the-ground look at Japanese employment through the people living it, rather than a report about it from the outside.
