In modern Japan black companies are becoming a social problem. A black company is a large growth enterprise that adopts a large number of young people in emerging industries, crushes them by overwork and illegal work, and drives them to turn off one after another.
As a prerequisite, we must first recognize that Japan's employment system is a very special form among the world. In Japan, it is not uncommon for the principal to not know the contents of the duties and the place of work before joining the company, and often do not know when to enter another duty after joining the company. In addition, it is almost impossible to return home without fail during legal work hours, so it is naturally obliged to accept if overtime work is required. Furthermore, there is a case in which the overtime fee is not paid, so-called service overtime. In fact, it is "common sense" that workers follow the company's orders.
On the other hand, general employment contracts in Europe and the United States differ from Japan, concrete duties exist first, the required skills and responsibilities are decided. Specific contents of the duties and evaluation methods tend to be constant, so the work content is not limited. Doing other people 's work beyond the scope of your job is important because you will violate your work.
Unlimited duties mean that, unlike the general employment pattern in the West and the West, there is no distinction between your work and the work of others, and you do the job of any kind. As a result, it was the feature of working in a Japanese company that there is almost no restriction on what "what kind of work" and "how much" can be ordered. Workers will be required to quickly adapt to new jobs by relocation and even to live attitudes to the company even at the expense of private but all are subject to evaluation from the company. Such a mechanism generates long hours of work up to abnormality, depression and overwork death.
Also, in current Japan, lifetime employment is rooted and it is almost impossible to change jobs. Also, due to lifetime employment, once you retire, it is difficult to find the next job. Therefore, even if my employer is a black company, I can not retire, I will continue to work until my body is broken.
Therefore, I think that it is necessary to change the form of employment in Japan. We should set up specific job duties in employment contracts and eliminate customs that those who overtime work better than regular home.
