A Keyence sales rep. Strange joke made by older japanese coworkers after a sales visit by Keyence.
- hyuuu 5y agowait, how is that strange? it makes sense given what the company is known for
- genericone 5y agoI didn't mean strange as "unfitting", but strange as in "this is such an inside joke" from the front-lines of the Japanese tech industry. Admittedly, when I first heard the joke 10 years ago, (and only one more time since then), I didn't quite get it until a Japanese coworker clarified the Keyence sales culture for me. I've only heard confirmations of this since then, and now a decade later the international tech zeitgeist is aware too of their culture.
- jchallis 5y agoThat’s a delightfully wholesome joke.
