To The Bar, With Your Boss?
This one is not that far off from most places in the world, although it does take having a personal relationship with your boss to a new level. In Japan, it is not abnormal to go bar-hopping with your boss. Just as most workplace leadership around the world wants to do – help to build workplace morale.
Some foreigners might find this odd, but in Japan, although bar-hopping with your boss is not obligatory, it is seen as a necessary team-building exercise. Could you imagine being the only employee who does not join this group? This will for sure get seen as problematic.
