From yesterday, the articles about Japanese salary has seen on the Nikkei and
this says Japanese salary totally differs from other countries.
【Summary】
How does the salary paid?
Paid for their duties. It's called "Job style" in Japan.
Paid for one's ability.
At most of the countries, duties are attached to each person when they are offered and paid for the duty itself. Every duty has market approximately so that salary wouldn't change a lot because of the compnay you work for.
On the other hand, Japan pays for their ability. It is measured not by your duty but what you have experienced so far. No market are made because every one of them has different experience so does the different ability.
【Merit】
Job change can happen easily. (Not the transfer in same company.)
Paid well if you can manage and output high quality work even when you are young.
Be expert.
Get paid steady (Your experience will automatically pile up as you get older)
Experience many types of works. (Be generalist = You won't lose interest.)
【Demerit】
May not get paid well even if you work hard and long in that company.
Elite and non-elite will obviously be in different situation.
Better specialist may easily come to your position.
Not paid well when you are young.
Training will not end in few months or years because you are to work there until retire.
【My conclusion】
Generally, what most of the countries adopt may be better that's why they all adopt.
For me, Japanese style is more comfortable.
Since It's my 2nd year of being member of society, I cannot have confidence with my work.
To be honest, I get better evaluations compare to other colleagues but still, I can't be comfortable. So if paid were decided only by our output of work, I'm not sure how much I can get.
Moreover, I believed that more you get paid, the faster your work will be but to tell the truth, the work must be in clear direction or the job will be done slower. (It has proved and talked on the TEDtalk.)
Japanese are known as polite, careful, hard-worker etc...
So this payment may fit better.
But to recruit and catch overseas talent and to be more strong company, we have to decide salary system.
