    As an American (or at least a non Japanese native) if my boss came up to me yelling and swearing in my face I would punch him out cold.

    Actually if more Japanese did this I think things would improve at the office.

      Punching people is illegal in general. If it was that easy, there wouldn’t exist any class struggle.

      So you’d want to go to jail for a few months (several weeks at least) over someone yelling at you?

      Shit I hope you don’t get married or have a girlfriend or kids.

      Japanese are very against violence, and incidentally it’s the safest first world country. And the work culture has been improving in the last decade or so - though not nearly fast enough.
