This model of employment exists. In Japan we call them "salarymen", in America "tenured professors" or "civil servants" or (in much of the country) "tenured schoolteachers." The model heavily distorts expectations about work (for those in the model and out of it), life, culture, etc. It is not an accident that your workplace will frequently be involved in the decision of who you actually, not metaphorically, marry. If your life experience does not include enough warning flags for the potential negative consequences of this model on the firm, on its non-"married" workers, on its "married" workers, on its workers' families, on its customers, and on the wider society, flag me down two weeks from now and I will go into them at substantial length.
