マイペースという反抗 ― テンポに支配される職場で｜The Quiet Rebellion of Keeping Your Own Pace

In many Japanese workplaces, tempo is everything—quick reactions, instant rapport, and constant alignment with the group rhythm. Yet some people quietly refuse this pressure. This episode explores “my pace” not as laziness, but as a subtle form of resistance: the ability to stay unhurried, unprovoked, and unabsorbed by the workplace’s accelerating tempo. While naturally gentle, uncalculating people can embody this effortless pace, thinkers and observers must choose it consciously—and are often misunderstood for it. Still, protecting your own rhythm is a rare freedom in a society that fears silence. Here, “my pace” becomes a quiet rebellion—and a way to stay human.
