    As an American (or at least a non Japanese native) if my boss came up to me yelling and swearing in my face I would punch him out cold.

    Actually if more Japanese did this I think things would improve at the office.

      So you’d want to go to jail for a few months (several weeks at least) over someone yelling at you?

      Shit I hope you don’t get married or have a girlfriend or kids.

      Japanese are very against violence, and incidentally it’s the safest first world country. And the work culture has been improving in the last decade or so - though not nearly fast enough.

      Punching people is illegal in general. If it was that easy, there wouldn’t exist any class struggle.
