I have talked to someone who works in Japan. He says they are always talking to themselves about what they are doing as they are doing it. For example, when someone is walking down the hall they will say "very busy, so very busy". They also do not make eye contact and smiling to someone you don't know is rude.

Now that morale has hit rock bottom, people are talking about using the Fridays off to look for new jobs... whatever is out there. I have a led on a company that is Japanese based. They have a office here in Southern California and they are looking for an IT Director. I have been an IT manager for about 10 years and the description of the job is basically what I do now. My sister-in-law's mother also works for the company and she will personally hand the resume to the COO of the company. My question.. any tips and tricks working for a Japanese company? The culture? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
