Office Japanese

Japanese is not only a difficult language to master, it becomes even more so when working in a typically Japanese office which is much more rule-oriented than normal conversation. With the level of formality changing constantly depending on exactly who they're talking to, and with certain expressions used only in very specific situations, it is a challenge for Japanese and non-Japanese alike. Saying the wrong thing can potentially have disastrous consequences, and there isn't much leeway given...
