Hm.. How many Fortune or Global 500/1000 companies have you worked for? Have you ever worked in an environment with a union workforce? Have you ever worked with incompetent middle management?
I'll tell you, and it may be horrid to hear, but sometimes you have to go around your own managers/supervisors/bosses even to accomplish your "customer first" philosophy.
Heck, forget bureaucracy.. I've worked with incompetent CEOs and CFOs for companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars that belittle their own employees, drive their companies into bankruptcy and still collect a "parachute" of several million dollars.
EDIT: Getting back on a topic more directly Japanese related, hm.. 70,000 yen so.. About US$900 for a low-end "quality" suit is actually not much different. That's +/- what a Boss suit goes for around here. Is that made-to-measure or off the rack?
