2022年1月13日 出張期間が無意味に長いが鷹揚だ

中国企業の海外出張は不可解だった。その年は8月から北京と深圳に2週間滞在が2回づつ、計4回で9月末までの計画が組まれていた。 最後の深圳出張では着いた途端、現地の同僚から「明日から4連休だよ。今日来たの?」と言われた。 「えっ?」と絶句したと同時に目が点になった、「聞いてない …」。
4日間休息もできたが日本にも用があり自費で一時帰国した。ただ直前予約なのでチケットがやたら高い。 日本に帰って4日目にまた深圳に戻ったが、戻る前日にボスに「明日、深圳に戻るね」と言うと「日本の方が忙しいから直ぐに日本に戻って」とのこと。 実に鷹揚にできている。多分、1週間単位で増減する出張期間もそんな調子で決まるのだろう。


Even though the business trip period is meaninglessly long, but it is fuzzy in decision, January 13th, 2022

The overseas business trip of a Chinese company was puzzling. From August of that year, I stayed in Beijing twice and Shenzhen twice for two weeks each, for a total of four times approximately 2 month until the end of September. As soon as I arrived on my last business trip to Shenzhen, a local colleague said, "It's four days holidays from tomorrow. Did you come today?" At the same time as I said "What?", My eyes turned into a dot, "I haven't heard ..."
I would be able to take a rest for four days, but I had a job in Japan and returned to Japan temporarily at my own expense. However, the ticket was very expensive because it was a last minute reservation. I returned to Shenzhen on the 4th day after returning to Japan, but the day before I returned, I said to my boss, "I will return to Shenzhen tomorrow", but he said, "Come back to Japan as soon as possible because there are many things to be solved in Japan". I noticed the business trip period was decided in a fuzzy manner. Perhaps the business trip period that increases or decreases on a weekly basis is also determined by such a condition.
