In this episode, I talk about survival strategies in Japanese companies where manuals are valued above creativity. I share my own experience working as a pharmaceutical route salesman, where even greetings and gestures were strictly controlled. While manuals bring efficiency and consistency, they often suppress innovation and produce managers who rely on micromanagement. I explain why strictly following manuals is usually the safest way to survive in such organizations, while also preparing an exit plan in case the company becomes unbearable. Through my story, I show how I cope with rigid corporate cultures without losing my sanity or career path.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠●ビジネス日本語学習者向けブログビジネスのために日本語を学んでいる人のための情報を発信しています⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://businessnihongo555.blogspot.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
