Those amakudari guys are 110% pure bribery/fraud...companies HAVE TO hire them or the MOF or whatever will raid them. It's a work scam even worse than mine here at Maybe-the-Largest Inc.

PS: Why don't you put your url to your latest story in your SIG line here at the FG just to increase your Google links and Page Rank. Who knows might stumble across your page if you do some blogrolling? Perhaps "junior reporter Junko" might hook-up with "Mega-Bimbo", my OL.

I think I might be at maybe-the-second-largest-company-in-Japan Inc. This amakudari stuff is great. Nobody even acknowledges he's here...but then again, that's the same with me.
Do you think Mega-Bimbo would agree to a cage match with Junko? Ticket sales would be through the roof.
Thanks for the tips on the .sig. Google can now go crazy.
