Good thing about the beginning of May is that I got 10 straight days off. The reason why is that Japanese empire changed on May 1st 2019. So the government set up a public holiday. When told that to my American friends on Skype, they freaked out because it is rare for them to have 10 straight days off after training.
Anyhow, I am kind of getting used to my duties. There is not much pressure. Pretty chill. I mean at least it’s at the level where I don’t have to care. Some people think that there is peer pressure, but I don’t really think so. There a little bit but I can just call in sick or care leave if it gets too bad. However, I just found out that in order to take maternity leave or care leave, I needed to work for the company at least 1 year, on top of that the people whom I am asking to take care leave for should be under my families maintenance insurance.
There was a guy who started his shift at 7:00am, and said thank you when his boss said “you can leave at 6:00pm.” I was so surprised because he is supposed to leave at 5pm (that is his original shift) but, He extended 1 hour and then he said thank you to his boss like it was a privilege to stay at work for another hour!
