i'm moving to fukuoka (from tokyo) in september but i haven't found a place yet. i've been looking for an apartment mostly, but starting a new job and settling in a new apartment within a short time frame sounds stressful soi wanna start with share house for the first few months. if anyone knows where i can find a foreigner-friendly share house (private room) within 30 mins from hakata station that'd be really helpful! thank you!

(context: my japanese is still very shit but i can get away with translation app, i've looked through most foreigner-friendly sites but mostly no availability)

i'm really starting to think it's not true at all. my company started dismissing people who are permanent workers for "performance issue and no improvement after warnings" (a mix of truths & lies, the company itself hasn't had any performance review for the employees with a lot of them not even having 1on1) and gave them 2-3 months of notice without any severance package.

apparently it's not illegal at all and "severance package" isn't even mandatory according to ministry of labor's consultation staff, so where's the hard part?

sharing this here cause the question of english bookstore in tokyo came up several times in the past. i hope this is okay to post since i'm not benefiting from it but if not, i'll delete it!
