... of the Great Ocean. They don't know the wider world.
Japanese people have a proverb having the same meaning; "井の中の蛙 大海を知らず"
Time flies fast ... it's almost December.
It seems some people in my workplace check my blogs sometimes even though some of them are so mean to me and jealous of me or my English skills somehow. Well, some other time, I'll write about what the mean staff members especially that woman have done or are doing to me ... maybe both in English and Japanese so more people can read it. English is not my native language, so I don't think I can make myself understood. I've already menitoned the most mean and vicious one in "Treat Myself" that I worte at the begining of this month. On the other hand, some staff members including its store manager and its executive chef turned out to be nice and I came to find I just didn't know them well.
But, the the cocky and arrogant students woking part-time at my workplace ... they make light of me and customers like the mean female full-time employees do, and I'd say these kinds of young people can never be something after graduating from the universities or something. The society can teach them and make them realize how they are naive and doesn' know much of the broader world, or maybe they can't realize since some people never learn or change, you know. They can't even say "Welcome" or "Thank you for coming today" in Japanese to customers and many full-time employees couldn't either. And I don't think full-time staff members like them including the mean woman can teach something important to young people going out into the world soon or someday. It's difficult to explain in English, though.
If Eggs 'n Things had staff members like that, or some Ohana suffered from being bullied by other Ohana and left the company, I'd be ashamed of it and they definitely should be. Staff members of Eggs 'n Things are called "Ohana," as I've told many times.The company is counting on its HR, as many other companies do, and I think we're counting on especially Nori-san, who was once served as the store manager of Harajuku and Ginza locations at once. I heard before that each store's full-time Ohana are in charge of interviewing candidates when each hire part-time Ohana, right? Get your act together. Some customers and people never mind what each store's Ohana are like or how they serve customers, but others do care, judge and see Ohana carefully, you know.
I hate to say this, but I don't think the mean people will truly understand what I mean or write though they read Japanese and some does English because of their short-sightness and narrow mindness. So it's just a waste of time saying or writing something seriously, you know.
Well, at least they should know that the world and the society are wider than they know or think and there are a lot of people who can do better at doing something than we do. I have many friends who are greater than me and speak English much better than I do, but I'm not jealous of them because I know they are not just lucky but they've been making great efforts so they can make it. The mean people should make efforts to improve themselves before doing something mean and silly to other people they are jealous of.
Anyway ...
At first, I thought I'd just tell my darling Kouta about the streaming of their this month's "The Coming Rebot Revolution," and ask him to tell the theme to my trustworthy boss, Shimamura-san, but I think more people should check it.
Each week's programs of each program are available on streaming for a week. "The Coming Rebort Revolution" is still playing on the radio, so if you'd like to check all the streamings of this theme, you should check the page next week after they update it. The textbook is availalbe for 500 yen or so.
Well, to be honest, what they're talking is just what I've been thinking about though I don't think this kind of thing happen so soon here in Japan like paralegals in the legal industry are not replaced by robots now. But
some waitstaff should feel a sense of danger, I'd say.
And I wanna mention this topic as well:
"Japan's Upper House begins debate on bill to expand use of foreign labor." from The Japan Times.
"Japan to offer foreign workers chance for permanent residency." from Nikkei Asian Review.
Well, I don't have enough time today, so, I think I'll write about the same themes sometime.
