I often read a lot of absolutely horrible/ridiculous stories about working here. I guess cause we tend to share more negative than positive experiences. I myself sometimes lean towards focusing more on negative aspects.

Which is why I’d like to ask what are the things that you LIKE about your job/working here?

If I were to list a few points, they’d be:

1. convenient location in Tokyo - not a typical office district, with lots of things to do and places to have lunch during breaks
2. being allowed to listen to music, podcasts, watch movies on the background while working
3. minimal interaction with people
4. although we have little common topics, I actually feel like my (all Japanese) co-workers are nice people that I can rely on
5. I work exclusively on paper and do not use any tech, meaning no need to stare at computer screen for 8 hours straight
6. and lastly freedom in terms of working hours. I can’t be grateful enough that I can just come and leave whenever I want as long as I get the job done
