〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕一場同學會,意外變成人生「對帳」現場。日本一名44歲上班族在東京大企業擔任主管,月薪65萬日圓(約台幣13.1萬),自認職涯發展得不差。沒想到參加高中同學會,得知昔日同窗不僅收入是自己的3倍以上,還有時間陪伴家人,讓他瞬間崩潰,在電車上反覆自問:「我到底為了什麼要這麼辛苦工作?」

日媒《THE GOLD ONLINE》報導,伊藤健太(化名)的男子任職東京一家精密機械製造商,20多歲起努力加班、爭取升遷,如今44歲坐上課長職位,月薪達65萬日圓,年薪超過1000萬日圓(約台幣202萬)。
轉折發生在一次高中同學會。伊藤遇見同齡的老同學,對方高中畢業後進入房地產業,目前已在家鄉經營公司,事業發展順利,年收入超過伊藤3倍。
真正讓伊藤受到衝擊的,還不只是收入。老同學透露,公司步上軌道後,實務多交由員工負責,自己平日也盡量騰出時間陪家人。
反觀伊藤,每天清晨6點出門,搭乘擁擠電車上班,經常忙到晚上10點以後。身為中階主管,上有業績壓力,下要處理部屬管理與離職問題,甚至休假時只要手機通知響起,都會感到緊張。
根據日本厚生勞動省統計,40至44歲男性正職平均月薪約45.7萬日圓,大企業也約52.9萬日圓,伊藤的65萬日圓已明顯高於平均水準。
然而,同學會結束後,他過去對工作與收入的滿足感開始動搖。回到東京擠著通勤電車,他忍不住一次次嘆氣,開始重新思考:即使收入不差,若每天幾乎所有時間都交給工作,這樣的生活究竟是不是自己真正想要的人生。
