I want to push back on this, but since I was raised in the US, I don't feel like I have a leg to stand on. Perhaps it's more ask culture than the Japanese, but I still feel like it's very heavily on the Guess side.
This all resonates with me, though, because I haven't grown up saying "no". My parents didn't ask much of me, but it didn't cross my mind to say no to any request.
I have an in-law who feels extremely free to ask for unreasonable things, and it's extremely hard to manage.
I think the comments in this piece about how the business world works are the most insightful to me here. A good read.
