A survey conducted on 300 Japanese office workers suggests that the presence of an “old guy who does nothing” in the company is quite common.
They call these people “ojisan”, a term which is regularly used to refer to a much older man. While the rest of the coworkers work their ass off, these men would do just enough not to get fired. SoraNews24 reported that 49.2% of the poll’s participants confirmed that someone like that exists in their workplace.
Naturally, this question comes next: instead of working, what are these people doing? The most popular answers were taking too many smoke breaks (49.7%), staring off into space (47.7%), and idle chatting (47.3%). Most of them agree that the presence of these ojisans brings down the morale of the company.
