Study suggests Japanese workers are deeply distrustful of their employers

A study found that workers in Japan distrust their employers significantly more than workers in the US, UK, Canada and Australia do.

一项调查显示,日本的员工比美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚等国的员工更不信任自己的雇主.

In the past, Japanese work culture revolved around one core belief: "lifetime employment". Workers would join a company after graduation from university and remain with that company until their retirement. Often, a strong bond would form between the worker and his (rarely her) company, with customs such as company-wide trips, and "bring your family" events. Accordingly, workers in Japan used to have an awful lot of job security, and job-hopping simply wasn't a thing.

过去,日本的企业文化都围绕"终生雇佣制"这一核心理念,也就是说,大学毕业后加入某个企业的员工可以为其效力直至退休.通常情况下,员工(多为男性)与雇佣企业之间会建立起强有力的感情纽带,企业会组织员工集体出游和一些可携家带口的活动.由此可见,过去的日本员工有很多的工作保障,跳槽这种事发生的可能性几乎为零.

Now, however, the only people who are generally granted job security for life are civil servants, who work at city hall for their entire career and get shuffled around every couple of years in a process called jinji-idou (personnel transfers) which is designed to keep things fresh. Those who work for regular companies, however, have much less obligation to stick with their employer than they used to, and, in turn, that has led to companies showing significantly less care for their employees. One has only to consider the high incidence of contract workers and part-time workers, and the emergence of so-called "black companies" which flout labour laws and in some cases treat their employees so badly, it can even drive them to suicide.
