Unfortunately, there are still companies that make you overwork in Japan. A bar in Kyoto had its own thoughts about it and made a comment on its blackboard.
Let’s admit it.
There are companies in Japan called black companies【ブラック企業:ぶらっくきぎょう】, those companies which make you work over hours and don't pay you the adequate salary to match the time and effort you have devoted.
There's a movie about them and even unofficial annual nominations made.
We even have hashtags (#ブラック企業)for them.
Recently a bar in Kyoto wrote a short comment about these companies on their blackboard and has created a little buzz trend on twitter.

With the words
命と引き換えに
願い事を叶える
悪魔に対して
命を削るくせに
何もしてくれない
ブラック企業って
悪魔以上だよな
written on the blackboard in the image.
Translation:
In exchange for your soul, demons will do you diabolic favour,
meanwhile, some companies do nothing for you no matter you sacrifice your life,
isn't that worse than a devil.
with a comment saying,
幽霊より怖いのは人間、なんて言いますけど。
(As some say, humans are scarier than ghosts.)
Some retweeted to this saying;
でもブラック企業とは言え、お給料はいただける。
決して時給換算してはイケないが— どこぞの凡人 (@gor31gtsx) March 4, 2020
– but you do receive salary from black companies as well.
You just shouldn't really convert it into hourly rates.
悪魔は契約に嘘書かないし破らないからね

– At least the devil won't state lies on their contracts or break their promises about them…
それなっ!

– Exactly!
Do you know anyone who works for a black company?
What are your thoughts…?

Have you sat down for a snack at Sumida Aquarium yet? This aquarium next to Tokyo Skytree is known for its penguins and garden eels, but we can't get enough of their cute snacks! There are lots of good seats around the aquarium, too, so it almost feels like one big cafe. 🐧 • Find out more at Japankuru.com!

For anime fans, the Evangelion areas at Small Worlds Miniature Museum are a must see! The tiny miniature people in the Evangelion Hangar look like ants beneath the moving Unit-01, Unit-00, and Unit-02! And over in Tokyo-III, characters like Shinji, Rei, and Katsuragi live life on a miniature scale. #odaiba #tokyo #tokyotrip #japantrip #japantravel #ariake #smallworlds #miniaturemuseum #smallworldstokyo #tokyotravel #evangelion #eva #anime #miniature #miniatures #animefigure #japankuru #스몰월드 #에반게리온 #오다이바 #오다이바관광 #오다이바스몰월드 #미니어쳐
