all of the dreadful japanese shit aside, I don't think it's any different in the US in terms of spending 40 hours per week not doing any real work

they're really good at pretending to look busy

I have family in Tokyo, and I have been there: that video shows an absolute anomaly. Japanese have more national holidays and special events that outsiders would believe, but in regular working days they are 10 hours minimum at full effort. That lady for example: she started the morning at 6am at home, and the video ends at 6pm "because bosses allow her to leave soon". That means after she goes for eating she will be home at 9pm. Imagine in a company where you wait for all your bosses to leave. It is not common to sleep at work sometimes.

Imagine being an instagram hottie thotty. Where you're idoled and worshiped by millions of men. All you have to do is take pictures of your beautiful self and you get companies to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for a simple "shout out". Life on easy mode for Chad's/Stacy's.

actually I am in a tech job and high surveillance trends are in fact being foisted upon us, but that's not going to somehow make me play along with their shitty little micromanagement scheme

if they don't like me sitting around doing nothing they can go ahead and fire me

lol I work in IT and we recently had to install monitoring software on all the workstations in the company, it's a small company in the midwest too. It was supposed to be for "security purposes" so they could have a log in case someone accessed something they shouldn't, but the CEO has already asked me to make reports on how busy certain people actually are on their computers. Good thing I'm in charge of this and can exempt my own computer or he would see the reports of me playing wow all day haha.

why would businesses do that when it's cheaper to just fire the excess and make the employees you keep work harder? Really it's the employees who are committing fraud by looking like they are busy while accomplishing nothing while getting paid instead of letting management know that they have too many employees.
