This article contains a translation of サラリーマン from ja.wikipedia. |
As mentioned by many this article is clearly not rigorous and needs a lot of work--especially with contradictory information as stated by some. In particular highly contradictory information about the conditions under which a salaryman would or would not be fired and also throughout the whole article in regard to societal expectations regarding who should become a salaryman. It reads like word of mouth rather than an academic study. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.84.40.3 ( talk) 04:17, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
"Salarymen take their train daily to work in the Tokyo metropolitan area (Tokyo Station, 2005)"
In the "history" section in the ultimate and penultimate paragraphs, contradictory statements are made as to the probability of salarymen being fired. This should be fixed but I am lacking the knowledge of Japanese culture to do so. 83.50.152.44 ( talk) 14:30, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
Also, the intro section and the "History" section outright contradict in saying both that salarymen are typically hired upon college graduation and typically hired immediately after high school. Which is it?

The references in the "Social image" section all refer to a book written about business in China, with no page numbers. Can someone check to see that it is in fact relevant to this article? 8bitW ( talk) 16:08, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
No, it is not relevant. Removing. If somebody wants to try to write something on this topic, they might refer to Allison, Anne. 1994. Nightwork: Sexuality, Pleasure, and Corporate Masculinity in a Tokyo Hostess Club. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. (A source that Osburg uses when making some comparisons with Japan).

A recent edit added that a salaryman is "sometimes called a Grooupzak". A Google search for that word returns only this page. Is there any way to substantiate this? Modus Ponens ( talk) 18:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Seriously, anyone who reads this has to know this is a farce. It is based off of biases, manga tropes, foreigners who don't understand Japanese culture and stereotypes.
Doctors are not salarymen Nor are judges Nor are athletes, actors, or teachers. 126.114.193.12 ( talk) 12:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
