My Norwegian fan-pal sent me this.
Since we deal with mostly fantasies of Japan I thought a touch of reality
might be welcome
==================================
When Fumiyoshi Shimizu was promoted to store manager just nine months
after entering his company, he couldn’t believe his luck.
A traffic accident during his final year at high school left him
hospitalized, affecting his studies and work prospects.
Then, convenience store chain SHOP99 offered him employment as a
trainee, before rewarding him for his industriousness with a promotion
to manager of one of its outlets in the western Tokyo suburb of Kokubunji.
However, Shimizu’s dream job quickly turned into a nightmare.
Regular eight-hour shifts turned into 15-hour workathons. He had no time
for breaks and was lucky if he could take one or two days off a month.

...and got less pay after the promotion too!
