Tokyo commuters bound for Olympic crowd crush as Japan Inc rules out work from home

TOKYO - When Emi Tanimura failed to find a daycare slot for her new-born daughter, she had to take a radical step for Japan to avoid a long time away from her job at communications firm Sunny Side Up . She started working from home.

Tanimura is a rare exception to the rule in hard-driving corporate Japan, where employees often feel pressured to put in long hours in the office. The aversion to allowing work from home is unwelcome news for the government, which wants companies to let their employees telecommute during the Olympics to make travel easier for Games participants and spectators on Tokyo’s notoriously packed trains and roadways.

Parissa Haghirian, a professor of international management at Sophia University in Tokyo, said she wasn’t surprised by the survey results because of structural issues found in traditional white-collar Japanese offices that favor hiring workers with general skillsets, rather than specialists, who are moved between divisions every few years.

ChrisGallagher4 日本人もオリンピックしない方が、良い🙅‍♂️と考えていますよ！ でも、政府🇯🇵は、私たちの意見をいつもでも、どんなときも、everydayで我々の意見など、聞いてくれないです。 ゴーンさんが言っていたようにです。 だから我々はTwitterという機能を使って、口論し、見えない敵と闘うのかも知れない😣💦
