The Hodo-Hodo Work Force

I wanted to read articles on the election 2008 on the first page of the WSJ, then I found this article on the minds of the junior stuff.

WSJ on Nov 1st  -  MANAGEMENT

Slacker Nation? Young Japanese Shun Promotions

Managers in Japan are grappling with a new phenomenon: young workers shunning promotions in favor of humdrum jobs with minimal duties

I sometimes read self-denigrating articles written by the Japanese correspondents of the famous newspapers such as the NYTimes and the WSJ. The Japanese correspondents submit only these sad articles to degrade Japan. How terrible!

However, some Japanese companies wouldn't pay enough extend hours payments or enough extra bonus as a famous story "Slave Nakamura" who invented the blue LED, which you could read some articles on the web.

I think this issue of their business mind is not only for Japanese business persons, because I had a lunch with a non-Japanese friend yesterday. He also seemed to suffer for working in Japanese companies.

I also think this issue is not only the problem of the junior stuff but also for management issues, because I go to a cafe in the morning in order to learn IT or financial items or read books, and then I see many junior class business persons study for themself  in the cafe in the early morning. I'm sure that many Japanese business persons have strong minds for their business or futures.

I strongly want the Japanese correspondents in the US and Europe newspapers to submit better contents.
