premium friday

The government came up with a "brilliant" way to get the working class to "take a break" every last Friday of the month.

They are calling it "Premium Friday" and it starts today.

Workers are asked to leave at 15:00...

Bummer that this doesn't apply to Satoshi's workplace.

Most people who are part-timers will work less hours which means they will receive less wages.

Most companies are busiest at the end of the month too, closing their books...

Japan also has a "no-zangyo" (no overtime) day weekly on Wednesdays, but if you ask me, a workaholic society will hardly be able to retrain their ways...

Have a nice weekend, I'll continue our recent adventure to Matsuyama on Monday!

yeah, a shame it doesn't apply to Satoshi's work because of all people, he's one that needs some downtime.

Rowena, Satoshi doesn't think it will work, who can leave in the middle of the afternoon?!

Take care.
