So either you've made a poor hiring choice, or you've decided consciously or not, that your time is worth the same as this persons.
A coworker hired the guy before I came into the business. I have my own way of dealing with employees usually and it works well, but they've always been American employees. The situation is different for me this time, however, because my partners told me that I can't manage the employees in the same way as I would normally because they're conscious of wanting to respect 'Japanese business culture' or something. The employees are all Japanese immigrants who are pretty fresh of the boat and I guess I have to be more 'respectful' or what have you - meaning they prohibited me from getting scary and yelling when people fuck up like how I usually handle it.

So I guess I'm looking for a more tactful and "nice" approach.
