The Blue-Eyed
Salaryman: from world traveller to lifer at Mitsubishi
by Niall Murtagh
GBP 8.99, 227pp, paperback, 129x196mm, 170g, 1861977891
In a shiny suit and with a good dose of humor, the author describes a
world that to most westerners is an utter mystery. .... He smiled when
he read the company rulebook but then realized the rules applied to him
too. It didn't take long though to learn the words of the company song
and the regulations for the company dormitories. His work impressed his
bosses and he was promoted to manager class. He had realized a Japanese
Dream: a traditional wife and a cosy apartment in the company housing
block. He thought about moving on, eventually -- but when it came to
saying sayonara, the time was never right. |
