Interac is a scam plain and simple.
In Hitachinaka, they sent out an email telling the ALTs how much they were getting paid by the BOE. Oh my my. Almost double the salary. So they take almost half your salary for doing basically nothing 9 months out of the year.
I know this thread is about Interac, but I want to share something else. IEC was taken over by Borderlink. The reason they gave was that IEC was lacking funds and BL had the funds. Guess what? People either got paid the same for doing more work (holiday work) or they got paid less. Insanity. |

This seems incredibly dumb to me. Why rub it in their faces?
That said, ALTs and, more importantly, BOEs need to see those numbers and the vast chasm between them. |

Double the salary! ridiculous. and they are doing some minimal hiring work, paper work, and meetings. great revenue gig going....
So when does an adventurous Gaijin drop some money and make a new dispatch company? |

Chatting with a guy in the pub working for a company something like that. The guy running the show's main business is a conversation school, but apparently he has some contacts and his Japanese is good enough to negotiate with the BOEs. Acts more like a headhunter than a dispatch company. Only takes on alts he knows personally and knows well, gets them set up and takes only...can't remember how much a month..I don't think it was even 5-man. I think he said there were about a half dozen of them working for him. Basically money for nothing seeing he has dependable people working in there.
I think a lot of what dispatch companies provide is a "Japanese face" to the business. Gives the office guy at the BOE someone who knows how low to bow and how to hold a meishi correctly to talk business with. Providing comfort and insurance is the racket basically. |

Bottom line, do whatever you can to not work for Interac. I saw their act up close. I don't have one single good thing to say about them. Without reading through all the posts, have people talked about the abusive SOB "trainer" in Tokyo named Cedrick? A few years ago he bullied and taunted one young woman until she broke out sobbing at one of the training sessions. Then, he said into the microphone so that all could here, "Good, that (making her cry) is what I wanted to do." |

Is breaking people considered a part of Japanese corporate culture, and this incident serves as an extreme example of this? |

I normally don't chime in on these kinds of threads, but I want to confirm that my "training" in Tokyo was the same as the previous quoted post. He was horrible, yelling and screaming at people for doing things wrong, for doing things the way he showed them but slightly customized (this part was terrible), even for showing up on the first day and not suddenly knowing how to present.
Everyone fails evaluation at the end. People are ridiculed. The trainer for my branch (P) was really nice. But the head trainer is a bully. You won't learn anything from him other than a disgust for the phrase "drink it in". |

Man, sounds like things have really changed. Back in the day, my interview was, "Let's see, spouse visa-check, 3 years JET experience- check, pulse- check. When can you start?" And they let me skip out of 1 of the 2 days of "training" because I had already had high-school ALT experience. |

Are people so desperate now for a job that they'll suck up anything? If I was at a training seminar and the trainer acted like that, I'd stand up and demand the guy be fired. Preferably lynched too. Mass walk-out time. Failing that, he'd probably meet with a nasty accident on his way home.  |
