Has anyone else heard of "Premimum Friday"? In Japan only ;(

[blockcha1n]

Just heard about how Japan has started this tradition now on Fridays.
Where they have sort of like a party atmosphere @ work!
It sounds like a way to keep the workplace lax and to build up employee morale instead of having it serious all the time.
There are a lot of people complaining and taking sick days so that's why they started these Premium Fridays to boost up employee morale.
I think some are allowed to drink a beer or two at work.
Now that is where I would like to work for a company in Japan that support these sort of days instead of just casual Fridays where we are allowed to wear jeans at work.

I think in Victorian era people work up to 18 hours a day but were drinking beer and whiskey at work, so what was the productivity?

My workplace is full of serious people. Everyone hates everyone like is the cases in most companies here in the USA, everyone is envious of everyone so I would love to work in Japan for such companies. Making a party at Friday at work is a great morale boost for the employees of the company as they are having the party and after that they have 2 days of vacation.

Only 3.7 percent of Tokyo area employees left work early last month to mark the launch of the “Premium Friday” quit work early campaign on Feb. 24, an online survey says.
