Gottfried, you posted “Japanese companies may be more a belated cutting of fat?” This may be close to the truth. I have lived in Japan as well as work with many people from different companies. There has been a general feeling that companies in Japan hire people for a very long term commitment. Two days ago, I was speaking to a Japanese vendor. Nice enough guy selling his goods. After our business was concluded, I asked him how long he was been working for his company ? “Seventeen years”, he said. "You’re too young looking to have been working for your company so long", I said. “No, I started straight out of college”, he said. I believe many Japanese companies have held onto their people longer than they should, and we are seeing this inevitable. :0) Stan
