How has COVID changed japanese working culture?

[Anonymous No.]

In my country the UK I know of several mid sized companies and a few govt organisations which have officially announced they are never going back to the office, never ever.

Has japan got rid of offices too? Will they? They often seem to complain about office presenteeism culture where they're expected to stay until the boss leaves. It would be the perfect opportunity to let people live somewhere more affordable than Tokyo and have time to have babies. Has japan seen a shift in working culture due to COVID?

because a huge benefit to the economy comes from having the office culture, so many businesses rely on servicing the part of the economy, billions of dollars

if everyone sits at home, it just means a ton of jobs and businesses will disappear

If offices disappeared, OLs would disappear, period. This would create a lot of jobless lazy women and who knows how many problems as a result of it. Being it's Japan, incidences of women scamming men would probably skyrocket. An no, an OL is not a female salaryman, she is just something below even a intern or a temp.

I wonder how it's affected public bath houses myself. You'd think old people would gather there and drop like flies.

I live in a city that is a tech hub in North America, and everyone is currently working at home due to covid.... downtown is currently decimated, businesses closing for good, the streets are way more dangerous

I can't wait for things to get back to normal again and people back in their offices so we can start to rebuild

But thats the point I was making... why would anyone voluntarily go back to an office when they could have a place in the country for cheaper, larger, no loud neighbours lower taxes and no commute? People live in cities for jobs not because they like them.

If even 5% of tokyoites moved out with remote jobs, that would be like a million new jap families with more money to spend and having kids instead of masturbating alone in concrete shitboxes.

Well built cities have actually a higher index of happiness, it's commute and poverty which correlates with unhappiness.

Why would you want businesses seeing inside your house during meetings and using excuses like "security" to gain access to your wifi network through shady mandatory programs on your work computer/phone? Living out in the country, you still have to commute to get to anything good as well.

The election is over, why do other countries keep pretending corona is real?

Because it has nothing to do with burger elections and everything to do with the worldwide trade (and slightly cold) war with China.

>Tfw you live in a third world shithole where only the middle and upper class suffered from lockdown but since all the super poors work really weird old timey jobs none of them have suffered from lockdown.
World is wacky. For my part, they said we're going back to the physical workplace as soon as this shit calms down.

Well economy is living thing so when some kind of business model stops working or stops beign profitable enough, since people dont move that much there will be other models that will become more wanted and viable profit wise most likely. But then again we already have too much people in world and not enough jobs and while tech gets better there will be even less jobs when big companies just automate things when its possible. It is complicated matter indeed.

You make a very interesting point anon.
Tokyo is such a big metropolis and has so many problems, also the japanese government has an interest since decades in people moving to the countryside.
I for one welcome the downfall of cities and offices.

Tokyo is well built and yet people are not happy there at all considering the stress people go through.
