Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I wish more companies would take that kind of responsibility.

Apocryphally, CEOs have committed Seppuku for far less.

Any chance that the tradition could be transplanted to the North American and European corporate scene?

I'm going to assume you're working class and actually reading the articles is a personal sacrifice on the tiny amount of free time you get in a day. So, thank you for your service.

I didn’t realize Sukiya surpassed Yoshinoya. 2,000 locations sounds like a lot, but beef bowl restaurants are like Starbucks. I live in a rural farming city of about 10,000 people and we have two Sukiyas. With several more in neighboring cities.

Edit: clarification

Having known a lot of people working in kitchens here and having seen some kitchens here, I really wish Japan would step up random inspections and enforcement. The owner (at least, maybe others as well) are required to be re-certified yearly with courses (also available online since corona at least), but I've not seen much of anything to enforce the conditions on the ground after the test unless there are customer complaints. Rats and roaches are far from unique to Sukiya, especially in places like Tokyo.
