You know how people stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning? Yeah.
.........Isn't it normal?
Not for kids who goes to sleep at 7 just to wake up at 5
Gosh, I even message my sister then. They’ll read it, when they read it. I kind of expect people to know if messages will wake them up or not. If they do, then they should turn the sound off or leave their phone in another room. I leave my phone somehwere else and take my iPad with me, which doesn’t ding. That way if I’m up, I can read whatever is sent etc. But sometimes those 2 am thoughts are best shared
people send me text messages at any time of night. Plus, maybe they just parted ways an hour before.
I would kill the person lol.
t's 2:39 and i and my two friends just finished an X O battle
Idk when I was in Japan I noticed that people worked till around midnight during the week and went out for drinks after so i wouldn't be surprised if they stayed up till past 2 AM on a weekend
I think there is a problem with employees expected to do hours of unpaid over-time, then they end up exhausted, or as you say, turning to drink. Usually contacting someone that late at night would make you a pain in the backside, but there does seem to be some major cultural differences in regards to boundaries considering people can't really "shut off" from work and have the same time to socialise.
Drinking is also another aspect of the job. In Japan drinking with your superiors is expected and it is considered rude to reject the offer if you do not have a valid excuse. It's a great opportunity to make connections
I’ve sene that more in Korea than in japan from what I’ve seen, I’ve never really seen that but I guess japan can have this too! Korea is huge on respect and drinking but it might be japan too.
Yep, regarding the depiction of this behaviour in manhwas is something I've always found a bit odd. I mean, they always show work gatherings where they make such "contacts" as being out of working hours, and they always involve alcohol. Now, expecting people to essentially do overtime for the social benefits seems a bit unfair, as many people presumably have other commitments outside of work meaning they can't spend their evenings like this. Also, getting wasted and socialising around alcohol seems like something you do at age 16, not exactly expected professional behaviour. Do they not just have social gatherings or meetings penned in during the day, within working hours, over something like tea, coffee, biscuits, sandwiches etc?! Obviously manhwas are fictional, and it's just a plot device, but there is some truth in this behaviour and the rather unhealthy attitudes to alcohol and having to be so committed to your work place. (this conversation has went really off topic, ha)
Yep, I’m just going to say this for Korea since I know it better than japan. It’s al true,this situation has been seen multiple times before in real life, it’s a pretty common thing. Since I’m korea respect for your elders are a huge thing, you would be seen as impolite, rude and would often be looked down upon. And drinking is also a huge thing in Korea as well. There’s mostly company gatherings and such, but when your boss or senior subordinate asks for a drink, it’s almost common courtesy to accept. From what I’ve seen, people in Korea have a pretty good tolerance to alcohol, and even if you don’t drink, you’re still permitted to come. And since respect is huge, you don’t want to displease your boss because that would make work harder for you. Many people don’t get wasted from drinking, younger workers drink less and more on focus pouring a glass for their elders and taking care of them.
Oh man I didn't expect to recieve so many replies lol I'm a night owl who messages people at this time too but damn you know that he was thinking about him till late (づ￣ ³￣)づ
