Episode 28
In this episode, Ethan shares why he would never work for a Japanese company again. Traditional Japanese business culture is deeply ingrained, with older generations—especially men—resisting change. While younger workers seek a better work-life balance, corporate leadership continues to push the outdated idea that work should define one’s life. It’s a tough reality, but there’s hope for change. Until then, Ethan is steering clear of Japanese companies. Tune in to hear his experience and insights!
