Are you, or have you ever been, a member of the Japanese workforce? Like cards, you have been shuffled and dealt out to a different department or location within your company, as if you worked for Trump.
April is a time of great movement as employees are transferred, people change jobs and new employees enter companies for the first time. With all those people moving around, you'd think they'd bump into each other.
It's also a time when Japanese people reveal their secrets -- and suddenly disappear. "Where's Mr. Tanaka?" you ask your coworker. "Oh, he has taken a new job. He's probably in Hokkaido by now." "But why didn't he tell me?" you protest. "We Japanese don't say such things. We're afraid of how people would treat us if they knew."
