Japanese Life Rules That Might Seem Foreign To Visitors

Having An After Work Drink With The Boss

It's hardly unheard of in the West, but most individuals do strive to keep their professional and personal lives distinct. This usually means not having too many beers with the boss after work. In Japan, nevertheless, it's normal for coworkers and the boss to go to more than one pub after work. This might have something to do with Japan's strong work ethic, but any way, employees are expected to take part.

If they don't, their connections at work could suffer. Of course, this depends on the office, and not every manager will make their workers go out to bars with them.
