My wife started her new job at 7-Eleven (iHoldings) on the Kobe University campus. She just came to me with a paper to sign saying I would be her guarantor. That’s interesting. So I asked her what would happen if I didn’t sign it. She said she would have to find someone to sign it. This is becoming more and more common to me. Guarantors are used for renting apartments, getting a loan, buying a house, and now getting a job. Hmmm. I’m seeing a trend. But why? Don’t Japanese trust people? Why must they be sure that my wife is not going run off with the cash register after her shift? It’s not like she’s going make away with very much. And besides, don’t they have insurance in Japan? Ah right, insurance is used for savings…I see. It’s like this country is in a bottle being run by the drips who come back from a conference overseas with an idea that benefits a small group which eventually trickles down to the masses.

Well that is rare. A gaijin being a gurantor, instead of needing one. Enjoy that honor while it lasts. You must be logged in to post a comment. |
