1. Colleagues are easy to get along with
2. Sometimes there are snacks to eat
1. Family businesses are really problematic. I don't know how this one has managed to survive until now—maybe they own enough land, and the company is just a side hustle
2. The work processes are fairly complicated, and old documents and the like have never been reorganized
3. One person is expected to do the work of several people. Of course, this only happens when a department is short-staffed, but usually it takes one or two years to recruit someone
4. The boss doesn't like employees taking leave
5. The internal manager speaks on behalf of the boss (but employees have no idea whether it actually reflects the boss's views)
6. The internal and external managers are both the same—be careful what you say to avoid falling into a trap and becoming the subject of gossip
7. There are gifts for the three major holidays, but not much. There are no employee trips (I don't know whether there will be any in the future)
8. If you don't have anyone backing you, you can only be targeted by the internal manager—unless you're very good at flattering people or you're a man
9. The external manager is very good at talking about work with people who aren't involved and often conveys matters through others, never willing to address the person involved directly
10. The internal manager is very good at guessing what other people are thinking. Even when the other person isn't thinking that way at all, he insists that he is right; conversely, other people aren't allowed to guess what he is thinking
11. If the internal manager objects to leave taken under the Labor Standards Act, report it directly to the boss (because of point 5 above). (I don't know whether it works, but at least I tried)
12. Just do your own work and don't interfere too much
