Three female employees in their 20s who work at a tax office in Tokyo were disciplined for working at Soaplands and other adult entertainment establishments for sex work without their superiors’ permission.
According to the report, the three women engaged in ‘sugar daddy’ activities by accepting money in exchange for going out on dates or meals, breaking the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau’s National Public Service Act, which prohibits concurrent employment without permission.
As a result, the three women were punished on December 26 and will face a month-long suspension as a disciplinary measure in March 2024.
When questioned about what they did with the funds, the three women had different answers, including “To spend money on food and drinks at host clubs” and “To purchase brand-name goods.”
All three women have already resigned upon request.
They didn’t invite their Superior to the soapland to get his “permission”, with plenty of “freebies” and “dividend” of course. So when he find out, they will have to accept his “4P discipline”, or quit. And they all chosen the later option. LOL
No sympathy for tax collectors being punished for bureaucratic reasons.
It’s the same in western countries. In Australia, if you are a public official, you’ll need to obtain permission your agency’s head to undertake outside work (also known as secondary employment).
Japan has it
you need permission of your BOSS to be a WHORE
Great.
The issue in this case isn’t the whoring, it’s that this employer doesn’t like you having a second job without permission. The whore part is actually irrelevant.
Maybe they should consider, I don’t know, paying their employees enough they don’t need a damn side hustle. They’re the government, after all. Or is the LDP so austerity minded they don’t pay their own damn government workers they need to keep a functioning state running enough and then block them from working on the side?
Lol maybe so, but doesn’t that effect normal people as well? For example if they want to bake cookies and sell those on the side?
If you want to be working in the Japanese government positions, you cannot take on a side job without permission, that also includes zero-pay volunteering jobs. It’s written in their National Public Service Act to prevent public officials colluding with businesses, and to prevent a negative public image.
