How long do you work for? The architects in Japan work long time, sometimes neally midnight. It might be fate, if you are an architect. When working towards a dedline, we often work long hours. Saturday is not a holiday. Only on Sunday, we could have a break, if customers do not claim or call us. It is necessary for us to correspond to established and potential customers as soon as possible. The customer is not only one.
The matter mentioned above is quite normal for the architects in Japan. After working till late at night, we have only one thing to do... sleep. Even though working efficiently, we can't go home easily because other people are still working. Holly shit! People in Japan really attach importance to "cooperation", you have to help if they can not finish their work.
Not only for co-workers, but also customers, we sacrifice ourselves. "Cooperation", "patience" and "sacrifice" are still virture, this way of thinking still remains in this country. I doubt it. That's too much. Work is not to sacrifice myself. When I do not have time or room, it is not possible to pay attention enough for others. The person won't be made anyone happy though we are not happy.
Neither this system nor the tradition will change easily. I'll just keep on trying to change, keep on learnig to make this situation better.
How long do you work everyday?
