Features: Many people believe that the corporate society in Japan is detached from meritocracy. However, the phenomenon of evaluating and selecting employees based on their broad abilities, which is closely related to their treatment, can be said to be even more "meritocratic" in Japan compared to Western countries, both among the elite employees and the entire workforce. As a result, current operators, calling themselves "intellectuals," are urging "greater emphasis on meritocracy." If employees blindly obey under their coercion and manipulation, not only will they lose their sense of relaxation and freedom, but they may even lose the joy of labor entirely! This book essentially starts from such a perspective, examining the specific changes within the company and the awareness of employees, and explores the best ways for ordinary male and female employees to cope with the Japanese-style meritocratic management that has not yet fully entered a new stage.
