I worked for Hitachi for 3 years. Maybe a week into my employment, I was
dressed down over the phone on my way home from work by a senior
manager. Why? I replied to the email of one of the Japanese execs.
That's the first no-no. You don't speak to a god. You go around him and
talk to only your direct manager. Second issue. I didn't address him
properly. I simply wrote something like, "Good morning ______". I didn't
know the rules of mrgod-san. 

Well, I said I only lasted 3 years. I couldn't take it. It was hell for
me. We live in America. There were things that bothered me constantly
and they expected 100% dedication to the job. The work day never ended.
During the "great recession" I just did what I had to do. What can I
say.
