so - why don
t all these shenanigans STOP. people dont want to work for overbearing superiors AND go out drinking at the expense of their families. i think this generation learned from their own fathers how not to do it.Posted in: The current generation isn't as adept at dealing with workplace conflict and stress as those in their 40s and 50s, and it's difficult for them to cope with overbearing superiors who demand long hours and a high level of performance, then expect everyone to go out drinking afterwards.

nutsagain - thank you. i know her but she doesn`t bother me (there are actually a few but as i work in classrooms and visit the teachers room for only minutes at a time) as a foreigner i can usually stand up to that kind of bullying (or ignore back as the case may be). i worry about esp. my teenager.

i agree with Xeno23. bullying in japan has society
s OK. it happens in all walks of life - not only school. thats where they hone the bullying skills they use later in life. the teachers, principals, vice principals, parents, PTA, kodomokai - they all turn their heads away from the problem. i have heard instances where the kids run the schools through bullying - the admin is running scared. and working in schools and belonging to clubs has shown me that these very same people who watch over our children bully each other.Posted in: What is the best way to eradicate bullying from schools?

it would take something major to change the way people in this country think. always pick on the different one - that
s human nature but from what ive read about england and what my family has experienced here it is the single most horrible thing in this society. it has permeated every aspect of society. just think about the workers who dont go home before anyone else, dont take vacation or family time, the silliness on tv that people imitate, the mothers-in-law that bully their husbands wives and that gets passed on, the teachers who bully children, clubs - kidsand adultsclubs - where people are bullied into doing things they dont want to, every sport from little league to sumo. i am sorry but these things are not great problems in my country. of course, we have other problems but even as a foreigner i have been bullied. i could go on and on but whats the point. murders and suicides resulting from bullying have not been the major change i thought would turn things around. its a lost society as far a bullying is concerned. gaman!!!Posted in: What is the best way to eradicate bullying from schools?

apologies here are all form - no substance. how deep and how long the bow. then get on with whatever evil deeds they`ve been doing.
Posted in: In Japan, when a company apologizes, it is not necessarily an acceptance of guilt or blame.

i think it is a wonderful idea. most countries have healthcare workers from other countries. with the shortage of japanese people who want to do this kind of work it can`t be helped but just think of the wonderful things that the people can LEARN from EACH OTHER. especially the elderly who will receive care from these nurses and careworkers. it will really work their brains to learn new songs, stories from other lands and receive the care from the warm hearts of people from other lands. after all, these nurses and care workers are human beings after all - just like the japanese.
Posted in: Do you think bringing foreign nurses to work in Japan is a good idea?

bullying plain and simple. when will they stop??? people have been killed because of this kind of "hazing" (it is bullying) and they still don`t stop. it boggles the mind.
