Talk:Salaryman

message: === General ===
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)

* I see women on there too and I doubt all the people are working for big companies. Some look like students. The caption should be rephrased.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.253.186.82 (talk) 17:26, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: I've already reverted that edit as vandalism and warned the IP user earlier. For future reference, if you have a strong reason to believe an edit is an error or vandalism (especially unexplained edits by random IPs with no citations), you're encouraged to be bold and go ahead with editing it.

message: 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)
