    bringing back souvenirs for their colleagues and bosses when they go on holiday somewhere :/

    Damn, I used to do that for some coworkers because we were actually friends. I cannot imagine how shitty it would feel to be forced to do that.

      Yeah, it’s a whole thing, it’s called omiyage and it’s seen as an apology for your absence and thanking your boss and colleagues for allowing you time off.

      …y’know, your entitlement to paid leave.
