"Citizen Kane" predates "Columbo".

You can often do an initial consultation with a lawyer for free. They can let you know what general options you have if any and then if you need them to execute on any of the options you pay them. They can give you an idea of the costs up front.

I've done this before in regards to a startup project I was working on with 2 others and the information was very useful and totally free.

He was one of my professors too. I tried to get into "Programming for Artists" but was never able to get into that particular one because the waitlist was always full.

She did mention one of her problems with the job was where to find places to pee.

Also, she didn't say anything as to whether the water offered was bottled or not.

Even if it's true that the majority prefer being homemakers, Japanese women are individuals, not an amorphous homogeneous mass. Those who do want to have careers and work outside the home shouldn't be discriminated against or forced to resign as soon as they get married or have kids.

One Japanese woman I met's solution to this discrimination was to start her own company (an architecture firm). Others I knew did freelance work such as photography.

Those who don't are still automatically expected to however and stigmatized or discriminated against if they don't conform. When I lived in Japan and taught English conversation at a large company, one of my older male students, whom I became friends with, told me that one of my female students secretly was a single mother. He told me not to tell anyone else. Female employees at this company were basically expected to quit if they married or especially if they had children.

A female student of mine at another large company originally planned to quit soon after she married because she imagined working together side by side with her husband at his family's business. After moving in with her husband's family, however, she found out they expected her to stay home and cook and clean all day (while at the same time her husband's adult sisters went out and enjoyed themselves and did no housework). She then regretted giving her notice to quit at her original job and wished she could keep working there.

Smaller companies I later worked at least had married female employees although I never heard of any of them also having children.

I wonder if there any accurate stats on the split of voluntary vs non-voluntary.

It doesn't. You may ask how then do they do raises? Largely, they don't. The only way they manage to attract and keep people for at least a short period (average tenure is short) is through the ever increasing value of the stock options. Those are only awarded when you first join however so for those who do manage to hold on for 4 years until they fully vest there is zero incentive to stay longer. This is a major fintech company.

You could work for a foreign company within Japan.

That would have been tolerable for me, but considering I have been experiencing difference in overall sociological expectations by just visiting there, I don't know if I would have been truly happy if I were in that situation. I wasn't exactly "fit to their spec" back when I was living in Japan at young age, either.

I've worked there. It definitely did a lot of damage to my psyche.

Even if you work for a foreign company, the way personal relationships work is very different from the states. That had taken me a decade to realize.

I'm glad you didn't make the same mistake I did.

And that somewhat aligns with my experience; perhaps the way personal relationships work probably more about where the company is located rather than who owns it.

For what it worth, I work for a wholly owned subsidiary of Japanese company in the States and I'm doing very well :-)

For the gutters, just do:

  .something {
    width: calc(33.33% - #{$spacing-small * 2/3});

    + .something {
      margin-left: $spacing-small;
    }
  }

I like that!
