I beg to differ. I have never been barraged on subways in the US like in Japan.

How about the incredible amount of stealth farting that goes on on the subways. Don't these people have any shame?

Hey I often burp in a loud and exaggerated manner while walking down the street. Any problems with that?

Dear Mao: I think one of the issues here is that the man in the street, i.e., me, understands haken to mean the daily dispatch to glue labels on mayonnaise jars making about 4000 yen, with no promise of a job tomorrow; and your idea of haken is the young go-getter who is a hot tamale to begin with who knows that if he is let go his skills are so hot he can easily find another position. I, myself, am not a hot tamale, but a rather spicy tamale. That being said, I still have a lot of sympathy for the many Japanese who are being exploited by haken companies with glue on the mayonnaise type jobs. Thus, I hope for a comprehensive reform of this type of exploitation but generally have no problem with the hot tamale contract type system that you speak of.

Hi Mao, I am glad you like your job and do well at it. Young, highly-educated professionals may benefit from your services, but for the average Japanese, contract work is a dead end. I hope JT will provide articles showing the negatives of this trend.

This guy is full of crap. Try supporting a family, buying a house, considering marriage or children as a hakken worker. This self-interested article should really be labeled an advertisement.
