Happy Labour Day, Corporate Nazi Whores
How I failed to rant about this earlier, I have no idea, but here goes:
Guess what day it is in Japan today? Labour Day! The day traditionally set aside for workers to have a day off - as a reward for their efforts every other day of the year.
Heaven forbid the company that I work for be pretty much the only one in the entire damn country that ignores minor things like national holidays. Admittedly, the trains are far less crowded, and the commute is a lot more pleasant - but on the flipside there is hardly anywhere open for lunch and just about every business barring convenience stores and the train stations are closed. I bet the situation would be different if our HR department wasn't composed entirely of people with no lives outside the walls of our little corporate bastion.... and it is such a nice day outside today too.
... and people wonder why I want to quit my job.
