Why does Japan work so hard?
Karoshi

overwork
Nearly a quarter of Japanese companies have their employees work more than 80 hours of
overtime
per month
Those extra hours are often
unpaid
It's usually marked by a heart attack, stroke or suicide due to stress
the cases are underreported and that the real number could
exceed
that
An employee of the advertising firm

initiatives to
curb
(limit/ control) the number of hours spent at the office
Premium Fridays
- allow their employees to leave at 3pm on the last Friday of the month-->
promoting consumer spending
and less time in the office
There’s two likely ways the nation can
compensate
for
the labor shortage
- immigrants or robots.
Japan has always been less inclined to accept immigrants
Japan is looking to robotics to fill in the gap.
Its robotics industry has spanned from
hospitality
to manufacturing, and now even reaching farms by creating robots that milk cows
3 rules for better work-life balance
situation
our days feel filled with a million small interruptions, even in our days off
texted your boss from the grocery store
you've taken a call at the beach
emailed a colleague while on a picnic with your family
These moments seem so small at the time--> add up to a tremendous loss/
undermine
our happiness
often cause stress and burnout --> originated from our
always-on
culture.
As we remake our models of work
in the wake
/ after of the pandemic
need to create a new culture that respects time.
step 1: reframe rest
maybe: worry about not being productive enough/
letting down
your colleagues
savor
the leisure time that we have available(slowly enjoy)
Step 2
treat our upcoming weekend like a vacation
visit a local café and listen to some live music
go for a long walk in the middle of the day with no phone and no
agenda
Step 3
create clear boundaries
for your time off
Feel free to say :"I'll be offline. Call me only if it's urgent."
uphold
these personal goals
prevent work from
creeping into
your personal life
don't worry too much about reputation
Quality truly is the
metric
that matters most (thang đo)
Will robots take our jobs?
Status-quo
a humanoid robot- it looks/ talks/ acts, like a human
There’s no denying robots and
automation
are increasingly part of our daily lives
The rise of robots has led to some
pretty scary warnings
about the future of work.
thousands jobs were
lost to robots
/ are
in danger of being automated
Occupations
that require
repetitive and predictable tasks
in transportation, logistics and administrative support were especially
high-risk
.
lower-skilled
workers--> not able to retrain for new jobs
worsen income inequality
Many economists argue automation will ultimately create new jobs
After all, someone has to program the robots, right?
the IT, and advanced manufacturing industries will add workers over the next two years as a result of automation.
It’s hard to imagine that robots could
replicate
human characteristics like empathy or compassion, that are required in many jobs
nurse, babysitter or teacher
