    These are all ludicrous.

    Could accidentally knock people into a higher tax bracket and ruin their finances long term for short term gain.

    This makes zero sense. Read up on how tax brackets actually work. Hitting higher tax brackets doesn’t mean your existing income is taxed at the higher rate. No “ruining.”

    Could accidentally give someone collateral to take out a massive loan they cannot afford long term.

    Wtf is this paternalistic BS. They could buy drugs or guns too!! 😱

    Doing nothing and simply using it as cash reserves is better than making a foolish mistake and ruining it for themselves.

    Nah. Pay people.

      “Paying people more would be irresponsible of us. The poors would be burdened with the responsibility of having too much money! It would destroy them!”

        with the responsibility of having too much money! It would destroy them!

        It often does, seen it firsthand. Hell, I doubled my income and benefits from last job to current. Did not manage it well, wasn’t prepared, fucked up my credit (though I always pay on time!), never learned about dealing with money.

        Also, are you suggesting a Japanese company of software devs are “poors”?! Don’t even know how to reply…

        This whole thread cements my view that lemmings are a bunch of teens and 20-somethings that have little real-world experience and are angry at what their generation is waking up to. (And you SHOULD be angry. But FFS, take a deep breath, take a wider, longer view.)

          Yes dear, everyone that disagrees with you is just an angry child. 🙄

      Posting US tax code like it’s the only country in the world and using it as a basis to say something about a Japanese company could be construed as ludicrous, could it not?

      And you choose drugs or guns for your example? Again, JAPAN.

      Japanese bonuses are heavily taxed and highest salary periods can have big implications on how much one has to pay into the national pension system. The way taxes are paid in arrears can also very easily put people in difficult positions if they aren’t financially responsible and happen to suddenly lose their jobs.
