I think it says a lot about Japanese workplace pay if a small business at 3-4 days per week can outperform it. Not that I doubt it in any way: I've just started my own sideline and I'm already at 25% of my job income yet only putting in 5 hours of effort to do so.
- TrackerFF 5y agoYes, but for how long though. Many of these Japanese firms are many hundreds of years old, and will probably stick around for some hundred more years. Being able to run a small business for 5-10 years is very possible, but there's no guarantee you'll be able to do that for 20-30-40 years. We often hear about the success stories, when it comes to small businesses and startups, but there are unfortunately those that will fail after N years, even if they had some pretty good years.
- draw_down 5y agoIt doesn’t have to be the same small business across all those years, right? I don’t think anyone is saying these small businesses are trying to become hundred-year firms.
