How would you control it? I am getting mad at my incharge for her incompetence and it's giving me a headache!
Getting mad at your manager
- Thread starter Claraviolet
- Start date
Differs per country.
In Europe it's normal for employees to have an argument with their managers, since there's a very slim chance you'd win, though you might as well risk your job as a result.
In Japan you'd better not even try, because the entire company will then turn against you and do anything so that you volunteerly quit your job.

Currently I'm a little upset with my manager because we're having a problem where people aren't doing the job I'm supposed do when I have my days off and their "solution" is to make it so that people in lot are rarely ever inside, which is bull crap because when it's 98 degrees with high humidity so it feels like 100+, I, in fact no one, wants to be outside for longer than they have to and it feels like I'm getting punished for someone else not doing their job. But instead of getting mad, I'd rather work for a compromise. Compromise is the best thing you can try to achieve when you're at a disagreement with your boss.

What the....I didn't know that quarreling with the manager will make you quit the company in Japan....that's just horrible!
Over here...it's not bad at all. If you are willing to fight for the right stuff, you could always go t HR department and they would protect you, no matter what your experience is!

It's more a thing in companies with more than a few employees, which is the vast majority of companies in Japan any way.
In general, arguing with each other is considered unmannered and backwards here, unless you do this with friends you're very close with.
Higher ups at companies are especially unappreciated with that and will therefore do anything to make you quit your job (lowering salaries, giving you more tasks than you can handle, accusing you for stuff you didn't even do, etc.), since Japanese companies normally don't go to their employees and say "you're fired".
I currently work at a company with a total of 3 human beings, so the atmosphere is much more casual.
Things can even go as far as a part time worker desperately trying to get the boss so far to get a girlfriend, to which the boss kept acting he didn't want one for a very long time, just to surprise her a few days ago that he's already married and even has a new born son since 2 months ago.

If I understand things right in Japan, you pretty much bow to the higher ups, no ifs ands or buts.
Everyone bows to each other, except that lower downs bow deeper than higher ups.
And if you as a customer bow deeper than a shop clerk for example, they'll bow even deeper back.
But if you're a foreigner, you often get a free pass if you don't bow, since people are usually aware that bowing is not a common practise in non-Asian countries.

nah, I meant metaphorically in bowing. As in no matter what you disagree with, you're going to follow it.

No one is perfect and if something is not fair, you should be able to ask and get it done for you.
That's just how it's supposed to be....
Well... Never mind
