Independent Contractor
In Japanese, sometimes we call independent contractors, freelancers. They are independent professionals who take on work themselves and offer their skills and services.
The term, independent contractors, alludes to the fact that they are on their first step toward building an independent career. It implies that they’ve taken the first step toward independence by accepting work as a contractor rather than an employee, giving them the freedom to choose their own schedule and clients.
There are many benefits to being an independent contractor, including:
1. Managing your own schedule
As an independent contractor, you can set your own work schedule. This makes it easier to allocate time to family, hobbies, other projects, etc.
2. Selecting your clients
As an independent contractor, you can choose which clients you want to work with. You can work on projects that match your preferences and areas of expertise, and avoid unpleasant client relationships.
3. Maximizing earnings
Because you can freely set your fees, you can earn an income equivalent to your skills and experience. If you’re successful, you can also earn more revenue.
4. Reducing fees and expenses
Compared to getting hired as an employee, an independent contractor can reduce expenses for office space and equipment. Other expense reductions can include commuting time and transportation costs.
5. Tax benefits
In some countries, there may be tax incentives available. In some cases, you can deduct a portion of expenses, which would reduce the tax burden.
6. Skill development
You’ll have opportunities to work on a variety of projects and gain a wide range of skills and experiences, which promote personal growth.
7. Access to infrastructure
You may be able to access the infrastructure and networks of large companies and organizations, which can improve the quality and efficiency of your work.
On the other hand, the disadvantages of being an independent contractor include:
1. Income instability
Your income may fluctuate from project to project, which may not be stable. Some potential risks like loss of work from clients and delays in payment may occur.
2. Lack of benefits
Benefits such as health insurance, retirement, and paid time off are typically not provided. You must manage and pay for insurance and benefits yourself.
3. Self-employment tax
You are responsible for paying self-employment taxes when you’re an independent contractor. This can be a higher tax burden than working as an employee.
4. Competition for Clients
You may have to compete for clients as an independent contractor. In a competitive field, it can be difficult to find work.
5. Difficulty in balancing work and personal life
On the one hand, free schedule management is an advantage, but on the other hand, it can blur the line between work and private life, causing excessive work and stress.
6. Risk of contracts and disputes with clients
Contracts with clients and dispute resolution are responsibilities that you must bear. In the event of a breach of contract or dispute, it will require legal action.
However, these disadvantages can also exist when starting a company.

![Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. ...]()
Otsukare Sama Deshita
In Japanese, colleagues and subordinates greet each other with, “otsukare sama deshita”, as they leave the office at the end of the workday. The literal translation of this phrase in English is as follows:
Thank you for your hard work.
Well done!
Great job!
You did a great job!
You've worked hard.
Otsukare sama deshita is one of the most important greetings in the Japanese workplace and social life. Let's look at how people actually use it in the Japanese workplace.
1. As an everyday greeting: Japanese people commonly use the phrase to greet colleagues and subordinates at the end of a workday. It’s a way to show respect and appreciation for each other's work after a long day of labor.
2. To help with team building: Praising each other’s efforts and accomplishments helps build cohesion among team members and motivates a spirit of cooperation throughout the team.
3. To signal the end of the workday: This is a common "end of work" signal in Japanese workplaces. By saying this phrase, it tells everyone else that their work is finished.
4. To show consideration to your superiors: Avoid using this phrase with superiors. Instead, the common greeting to a supervisor is, pardon me for leaving early, to which the supervisor would reply, otsukare sama (which means good work in English).
5. To express appreciation: otsukare sama deshita is an important way for workers to recognize each other's efforts and express their appreciation. Expressions of gratitude are very important in Japanese culture.
In general, otsukare sama deshita expresses other people’s gratitude for their efforts and contributions. At the same time, it shows solidarity and a spirit of cooperation among workers.

I was informed about a water leak by the front desk. The receptionist asked me what to do, and I suggested, "Why don't you ask SYMPATICO GENERAL CONTRACTOR, another member of Seattle Executives?" I believe she called them.
When I returned from lunch with clients, I encountered Roy, the president of SYMPATICO, leaving the office. He came by himself and promptly fixed the problem. There is no one who can provide better service than Roy and his team. If you own your own building, you should definitely get to know Roy.
