Then why does the boss only shows up in meeting via teams?
This is bs
As much as I love these arguments, they don’t solve anything and can make things a lot worse.
A lot of companies have bosses who are putting in significant hours. They sometimes do this because they have the income and familial situation to support it. Sometimes the bosses have no families, or have nannies, or are not the main caretaker. Sometimes they just have “no life”.
Japan is a good example. Incredibly long working hours and incredibly work-centric culture at all levels.
The way to argue better working conditions isn’t to point fingers at other people and ask “well why aren’t they also having to suffer like me?”.
Japan is a terrible example as it’s all about being “in the office” regardless of productivity
I can confirm. It's not about actually doing something, it's about being seen. And it's best when you look tired. A pat on the back, a few お疲れ様でした. And it's certainly not about efficiency or outcome. Efficiency is virtually non-existent here, except in Western companies here. Working テレワーク pretty much equals to not working.
