Initiation ceremony (2004-04-01)
Today all newly hired employees attended an initiation ceremony held
by
their company. Tonight's evening news briefly showed such event
held by
Mitsubishi Motors and Matsushita Electric Works. Proud young
graduates dressed in crisp new business suits gathered in a hall where
they listened to the CEO welcome and lecture them on the virtue of hard
work and other important issues. It is like the welcome speech
they heard from the University president on the first day of college,
only this time they have changed roles and hopefully they will play it
more than four years.
A ramen shop even made special celebration noodles for these proud youngsters. It all shows how seriously Japanese people regard their job especially when the employer is a large prestigious enterprise.
