You also had the choice of getting a week's unpaid vacation.

Yea must be far better working for a Japanese executive rather than an American one and knowing the made from your labor is going back to Japan rather than here just warms the heart. Especially when you consider the tax incentives given to these companies for moving in and providing jobs. Such a Deal!
