1Bahrain: Comparing the Bahraini and Japanese work ethicBahrain: Fampitahana ny fomba fiasan'ny Bahrainita sy ny Japoney
2Bahraini blogger Yagoob is currently studying in Japan - and has seen firsthand the legendary Japanese work ethic.Mpamaham-bolongana Bahrainita Yagoob izay mianatra any Japana amin'izao fotoana izao - dia manatri-maso ny lazan'ny fitiavan'asa eo amin'ny Japoney.
3In this post he compares the attitude of many Bahrainis towards work with that of the Japanese.Amin'ity lahatsoratra ity ary no anehoana anareo ny fampitahana ny fomba fiasan'ny maro amin'ny Bahrainita sy ny fanaon'ny Japoney.
4Yagoob starts by mentioning an extreme case of an employee trying to avoid losing a day's pay:Miainga amin'ny tranga faratampony i Yagoob amin'ny fanaon'ny mpiasa iray mba tsy hialan'ny karamany amin'ny andro iray:
5In recent times a number of reports have appeared in our local newspapers that have caught my attention, especially when I attempt to compare the Bahraini mentality and that of the Japanese towards work and respect for one's job.Fotoana vitsivitsy lasa izay dia nisy andian-dahatsoratra niseho tamin'ny gazety tany an-toerana nisarika ny masoko, indrindra moa fa teo amin'ny fampitahana ny fisainan'ny Bahrainita sy ny an'ny Japoney eo amin'ny resaka fanajan'ny tsirairay ny asany.
6First, in Akhbar Al Khaleej newspaper, an article appeared about one of the idiots who work in the Gulf Air office near Bahrain International Airport, who called his office to spin them a tale about a bomb in the building - which of course led to an evacuation that lasted the whole day, meaning money and hours of work were lost.Voalohany, tao amin'ny gazety Akhbar Al Khaleej, dia nisy lahatsoratra iray nitantara ny iray tamin-dry levendrana miasa ao amin'ny biraon'ny Gulf Air akaikin'ny seranam-piaramanidina iraisam-pirenen'i Bahrain, izay nitsaho tany amin'ny biraony fa misy baomba ao am-piasana - ary dia nitarika fanalana ny olona rehetra tao izany ka nandany ny andro manontolo, izay midika ihany koa ho fahaverezam-bola sy fahaverezam-potoam-piasana.
7The reason for this idiotic behaviour was that the man with this hellish idea had stomach ache, but had used up all his sick leave, and didn't want to lose any of his salary, a single day's pay.Ny anton'ity hevitra kidaladala ity dia noho ny aretim-bavoniny, lany avokoa ny andro ahazoana tsy miasa noho ny aretina, nefa tsy te-hampihena ny karamany, tsy te-ho very karama iray andro izy.
8Now, after the security services were able to trace him in record time, he has been investigated, and his future is threatened by the loss of his job and livelihood.Ankehitriny moa nahafantatra ny niavian'ny antso tao anatin'ny fotoana fohy ny mpitandro ny filaminana, efa hadihadiana ny lehilahy, ary mampanahy ny ho avinn'y asany sy ny fiainany manontolo.
9All this for a handful of dinars he didn't want to lose.Izany rehetra izany dia vokatry ny tsy fitiavana ho very dinars vitsivitsy.
10Then, after referring to a case of questionable employment practice, Yagoob says:Rehefa avy niteny ity fomba fiasa ity i Yagoob dia niteny hoe:
11What I wish to say about these situations is that the attitude towards work in our beloved Bahrain is very backward; some toil and strive to find excuses or reasons to be absent from work (especially government jobs).Ny tiako lazaina dia hoe tena mba ilaozan'ny toetr'andro koa izany fomba fiasantsika aty Bahrain malalantsika ity; Mikofokofoka sy miezaka mafy ery ny sasany mitady fomba tsy iasana (indrindra ny any amin'ny asam-panjakana).
12They believe that their position is guaranteed, and no one can take it away from them, even if their work is bad.Mino izy ireo fa efa tsara toerana, tsy hisy intsony ny afaka hanala azy na dia ratsy fiasa aza izy ireny.
13They are proud because they cheat their work to waste time on trivial and useless matters.Mirehareha izy ireo tsy miraharaha ny asany amin-javatra tsy misy dikany sy ny tsy misy ilàna azy.
14On the other hand, some employers put pressure on their employees who work hard and loyally, and wait for an opportunity to get rid of them and put someone worse in their place.Etsy andaniny indray, maro ny mpampiasa no maneritery ny mpiasa miasa mafy sy miasa tsara, ka mitady fotoana fanararaotra hanesorana azy ireny mba hametrahana olona tsy haninon-tsy haninona hisolo ireny (mpiasa mazoto ireny).
15He then turns to what he has seen in Japan:Avy eo izy dia mitodika amin'izay zavatra hitany tany Japana amin'izay:
16If we look at the Japanese mentality to work, we find that many of them live to work and that their first priority in life is work.Raha mijery ny fisainan'ny Japoney kosa anefa isika amin'ny resaka asa, dia ho hitantsaika fa maro amin'izy ireo no manao ho laharam-pahamehana amin'ny fiainany ny asa.
17For example, I see some of them in my university; the professors arrive at university at about 7am (working hours start at 8.45am) and sometimes go home at 7pm or 8pm (working hours end at 5.30pm).Ohatra, mahita ny sasany amin'izy reny aho aty amin'ny anjerimanontolo; Misy mpampianatra tonga amin'ny 7 ora maraina (nefa ny fidirany miasa amin'ny 8:45 maraina) ary indraindray mody amin'ny 7 na 8 ora hariva (nefa amin'ny 5 sy sasany hariva no mirava).
18We must also bear in mind that most of them do not live in the city but rather in other cities that are an hour or two away from their work.Aoka anefa hotsarovana fa maro amni'izy ireo no tsy mipetrak eto an-tanàna fa any an-tanàna hafa izay andehanana (fiara) ora iray na roa ay eo am-piasany.
19I feel that they don't have any social life, and that their homes are like graves where all they do is sleep.Tsapako fa tsy manana fiainana ara-piaraha-monina izy ireo fa tahaka ny fasana (trano lao tsinona koa) ny tranony izay tsy misy hanaovana azy afa-tsy atoriana fotsiny.
20In addition, if someone is ill and able to work (if he has a cold, etc) then he goes to work and tries to wear a mask covering his nose and mouth so as not to give others his sickness, and to reduce the chance of them getting ill and having to take sick leave.Ankoatra izany, raha misy marary nefa mbola afa-miasa ihany (tratran'ny sery, sns) dia mandeha miasa ihany izy fa maizaka ny manao sarom-bava sy orona mba tsy hamindra ny aretiny amin'ny hafa, ary mba hampihena ihany koa ny fahazoan'izy ireo ny aretina fandrao mandao tsy fidiny ny asa.
