> high paid salary employee with a few weeks vacation
> a year
I'm not sure that we're reading the same thread. We're talking about how hard it is to get any vacation time in Japan, for any job, from low- to high-paid.
10 days of vacation equates to 2 weeks of vacation time, but from what I understand, working long hours and on the weekends is an implicit requirement of many (most?) jobs in Japan. So even getting the weekend off during that '10 days of vacation' could be problematic.
Sure, it's definitely not slavery, but it sure seems highly exploitative.
