Japanese white-collar worker
Salarymen take their train daily to work in the Tokyo metropolitan area (Tokyo Station, 2005)
In Japan, a salaryman (サラリーマン, sararīman) is a salaried worker. In Japanese popular culture, this is embodied by a white-collar worker who shows overriding loyalty and commitment to the corporation where he works.
Salarymen are expected to work long hours,[1] to put in additional overtime, to participate in after-work leisure activities such as drinking, singing karaoke and visiting hostess bars with colleagues, and to value work over all else. The salaryman typically enters a company after graduating from college and stays with that corporation for the duration of his career.
Other popular notions surrounding salarymen include karōshi, or death from overwork. In conservative Japanese culture, becoming a salaryman is the expected career choice for young men and those who do not take this career path are regarded as living with a stigma and less prestige.[citation needed] On the other hand, the word salaryman is sometimes used with derogatory connotation for his total dependence on his employer and lack of individuality.[citation needed]
