  1. I haven't won anything this season yet but also want to say a big big thanks for all those lovely daily reports from around Japan - to SJ for putting them all together and for the people posting them.

     

    I can imagine a huge amount of effort must go into those posting them day after day for 5 months or so and I'm sure that a large number of people appreciate them.

     

    So on behalf of all of us, otsukaresama desu. thumbsup

  3. Just read this

     

    Quote:
    Almost two million Britons have been saved from unemployment after accepting pay cuts or choosing to work part time.

     

    Record numbers of people have seen their pay frozen or cut as firms fight the recession and stave off redundancies, according to internal Treasury figures.

     

    Others have voluntarily moved to part-time positions rather than lose their jobs, with official statistics showing a record one million people who want to work full time are now unable to secure anything other than reduced hours work.

     

    The Treasury calculates that by accepting these measures 1.7 million who might have been made redundant in the recession have been saved from the dole queue.

     

    However, as a result income tax receipts have collapsed.

     

    Wonder how that's playing out in Japan? Do salaries get cut here or is it one of those things that 'doesn't happen'?

     

    Mine has basically stayed the same the last few years.

     

    Any personal experience in the last year or so? Different jobs/promotions don't count!
