I am sorry... Its really come as sudden as the tidal waves this morning...
I am in Yokohama, Tanmachi to be exact and I work for a small Supplement company. The company had a huge investment this June and put a lot of money into offices and staffs, they hired me because I speak English, Chinese and a little Japanese so I can take care of the IT and help the user with different language background and communicate with the service provider as well. I have no problem communicating with vendors and my boss. The only problem is to communicate to other co-workers who speak zero English.
I have thought over it, maybe the title of this thread has to change. The company owes me nothing. First when they granted me the job, I asked for a contract. They said no contract, so I submitted to their will then came to Japan anyway. Then they start cutting my salary once I arrived in Japan on the ground that the company is not doing well in Taiwan. It continues on until they finally have me laid off today. I heard the probation period in Japan is 6 month. So if I haven't passed 6 months and they might have every right to turn me down and let me go.
I have no rights, nada. All I have to do is to find a new Job. I am hoping this forum might offer a bit of help.
Cordially
