Mostly same. My coworkers in Japan were shocked that I did not abide by the rule that I should come in (at least) 15 minutes early and stay (at least) 15 minutes late because I wasn’t going to do it unless I were getting an extra half an hour of pay for every day.

But hey, I was a great employee, and I didn’t get fired. I also did not give them that extra half an hour every day.
