    Straight up a new concept for Japanese bosses - employees are actually human beings, not resources.

      Unfortunately, I don’t think employers seeing their employees as mere resources is exclusive to Japan. Though they definitely like to dial it up to 11 there.

      Not meaning to detract from your point, but this view is not restricted to Japan by a long shot.

        Obviously. But Japan is way worse at this than any western country. And probably many developing ones as well.
