海外の反応-日本の新首相、残業時間の上限撤廃を検討

海外のナナシさん

マジでひどいアイデアだよな。製造の話だけど、残業を減らせたのに、生産に影響は出さずに済んだ。でも管理職たちは相変わらず残業ルールを悪用しようと必死なんだ。春のキャンペーンの時期になると、Bチームのリーダーが、Aチームのマネージャーが昇進した後にAチームに移動してさ。最初の数ヶ月は、だいたい4:30から4:55の間にコンピュータに行って、めちゃくちゃにニヤつきながら、製造マークを+100に調整して、それから皆の反応を待ってるんだ。それから+5とかにして、最低でも15分の残業を確保しようとさ。もうやる気なくなるよ、なんで一生懸命働いて時間通りに終わらせようとしてるのに、こんなバカなことやられるんだって感じだよ。労働基準法が出てきてやめたけど、こういう指示はやつらみたいなクズの振る舞いをさらに助長するだけだよ。

What a terrible idea. As far as manufacturing goes, we were able to reduce overtime without affecting production. But managers still do their best to abuse overtime rules. When the Spring promotions rolled around, the B-shift leader moved to A-shift, after the A-shift manager was promoted. His first few months, between 4:30~4:55, he would go to the computer, and with the biggest shit-eating grin on his face, adjust the production mark by +100, and wait for people to react. Then set it at +5 or something to ensure we would have at least 15 minutes overtime. Completely destroying morale, why work hard so we can finish on time when the manager does stupid shit like this? He stopped after Labor Standards showed up. But these kinds of directives just encourage this kind of shit-head behavior.

国民のメンタルヘルス向上以外なら何でもいいんだな。あと何人の阿部みたいな例が必要なんだよ？

Anything but improve the population’s mental health. How many more Abe examples they need?

残業に頼ってる組織なんて、管理職の無能さがバレバレだよ。それが管理気取りの連中が残業大好きな理由。残業が当たり前だと、自分らの仕事下手くそでも済むからさ。指くわえて天気予報みたいな「感動のスピーチ」垂れ流して、組織の成功を自分が引っ張ってるふりできるんだよ。一方、現場の労働者はリーダーがちゃんとリードしてないせいで余計な時間突っ込まなきゃいけないのに、「これが俺の仕事熱心さの証明だ！」って騙されて、搾取されてることに誇り持っちゃう。誰かの懐を膨らませるために自分の時間タダ働きして、いつか気づいてもらって朝のスピーチができるような管理職になれるかも…なんて夢見てさ。

残業が基本禁止されたら、管理職は本気で働かなきゃいけない。従業員の時間は大事な資源だから慎重に使って、先読みしてリスク考えなきゃ。入社時の天気以外にも仕事のことちゃんと理解してなきゃいけない。で、実際の管理能力じゃなくて上層部の飲み友達で昇進したような奴らには、それがマジ怖いんだよ。俺の知ってる管理職がいるんだけど、下っ端に仕事振るのが大好きでさ。自分が振った仕事やってるの見ながらニヤニヤしてる。あいつのプロジェクトは毎回グチャグチャで混乱しまくり。みんな予定より時間かかって、最後の方で最初に考えてなかったこと慌てて片付ける羽目になる。従業員がどれだけ頑張っても、組織の成果はイマイチなのにさ。でも残業が日常だからクビにならずに済んで、失敗の責任も管理職じゃなくて外部要因のせいにしてる。あいつ、このニュース聞いたらめっちゃ喜ぶだろうな。

Any org that relies on overtime is evidence of management incompetence. That why people who see themselves as management types love it. When overtime is the norm, they don’t have to be good at their jobs. They can sit around twiddling their thumbs and giving “inspirational” speeches about the weather, pretending they have driven their organization’s success. Meanwhile, laborers have to put in extra hours because their leadership isn’t leading, but if they can be tricked into thinking that their excessive labor is proof of their work ethic, they will take pride in being exploited and giving their free time to increase someone else’s wealth, all in the hopes that one day they will be noticed and promoted to be the manager who sits in the chair giving speeches about the weather.

When overtime is not generally permitted, managers have to work. They have to treat employees’ time like a resource to be spent carefully. They have to plan ahead and think about contingencies. They have to understand something about their jobs beyond what the weather was like when they came in. And to people who got into leadership positions through being buddies with other people in leadership as opposed to actually knowing how to manage, that’s really scary.I know a manager who delights in assigning work to people lower than him in the org chart. You can see him beam with pride when he stands around watching other workers do jobs he assigned to them. His projects are always disorganized and confusing. Everyone always seems to spend more time on them than planned, scrambling at the last minute to take care of something that wasn’t thought of at the beginning. And no matter how much work employees put into his projects, the success they contribute to his organization is middling at best. But he still gets to keep his job and leadership role because his org permits routine overtime and is more than happy to shift blame for failures away from management onto external factors. I expect he will be very happy with this news.

日本が労働時間を増やせば生産性上がるなんて思ってるなら、マジでバカな国になっちゃったなって悲しくなるよ。まず教育に力を入れて、人材の質を上げることからやるべきだろ。

If Japan thinks that increasing workers’ working hours will increase productivity, it makes me sad to see what a stupid country it has become. They should first focus on education and improve the quality of their human resources.

うん。だから俺はあいつ嫌いなんだよ。周りはみんな彼女のスピーチに感動してるし、俺も渋々感心はしてるんだけどさ。彼女って毒まみれの昭和時代の人で、自分が耐えられるからって、みんなも健康とか目標とか家族の事情とか個人の価値観無視して同じようにやれって押し付けてくるんだよ。

Yeah. This is why i dislike her even though everyone around me is inspired by her speeches and even I am grudgingly impressed. She is a toxic showa era person who thinks just because she can do it, everyone else should too REGARDLESS of their health, goals, family situation or individual values.
