Straight up a new concept for Japanese bosses - employees are actually human beings, not resources.
- Unfortunately, I don't think employers seeing their employees as mere resources is exclusive to Japan. Though they definitely like to dial it up to 11 there.
- Not meaning to detract from your point, but this view is not restricted to Japan by a long shot.
  
  Obviously. But Japan is way worse at this than any western country. And probably many developing ones as well.
