Salaryman
Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 8 January 2008 in People & Portrait.
Salaryman (サラリーマン) refers to someone whose income is salary based; particularly those working for corporations. Though the word itself can be considered a type of engrish, its frequent use by Japanese corporations, and its prevalence in Japanese manga and anime has gradually led to its acceptance in English-speaking countries as a noun for a Japanese white-collar businessman. The word can be found in many books and articles pertaining to Japanese culture, and carries associations of long working hours, low prestige in the corporate hierarchy, absence of significant sources of income other than salary, wage slavery, and karōshi. It should be noted that the term salaryman refers almost exclusively to males.
