Close but not perfect. My correction would be "even if they don't get their work done, they shouldn't feel guilty leaving at 5:00."
The reason I say this is because one could easily argue that there's always more work to be done. That's always been the case for me anyway. But tomorrow is another day. When you've put in a full workday already, nobody should make you feel guilty for leaving just because there's more work to do. There's always more work to do!
- unsignedint 10y agoProblem of Japanese employment is that employment often do not carry clear "job description" or it may be taken so lightly. So regardless of whether you are done with your work for the day, your boss may approach and say "hey, your fellow co-worker is still not done with their tasks, why aren't you helping them before you leave?"
- smcl 10y agoI'm sure that's what the parent meant - I understood "get their work done" to mean "they are working productively over a long period" and not "they finished all assigned tasks for the day"
