Sure but I see it as tied to the problem in the topic.
What works there may or may not work here, the cultures being so different after all.
I do information security. Most of my employers have been in the financial sector because thats about the only place that hires for what I do. I’ve worked in very traditional top tier Japanese companies and more relaxed ones but some things are common everywhere.
I’m a bit atypical regarding days off since the Jewish holiday schedule demands so many days per year and I book that time off far in advance and over explain to management and HR about the reasons behind the time off requests. If that means working lots of unpaid overtime to get everything done before hand then thats what it means.
