Barely managing

[Hachiko]

In a country with few real careers for women, a job in an energetic internationally-oriented service industry would surely be a dream come true for many.

Hey, I'm in that article! Tony McNicol interviewed me for it and the "Sean" quoted at the beginning is me!

Working as a manager at GEOS is a dead end job. Most of them quit after 6 months or so because of all the stress. Its not uncommon for them to have to work 14 or 15 hours a day, and they get paid very little for it.
