I worked there during the pandemic. Summer 2019 to summer 2021. I never heard about any reforms but a lot was happening around then and I’m sure I missed a lot.
One thing that did change during the pandemic was that my company went optionally remote. Working from home was even more unheard of in Japan than in the US before the pandemic so that was crazy. And they even reduced the number of desks in the office so they couldn’t have all the workers in at the same time. A lot of US companies have since rolled back those policies. No idea if my old company stuck with it.
