In general, civil servants, including SDF personnel, are guaranteed their identities, are stable, have many vacations, and receive a lot of severance pay. You may think that it is an easy and easy job to do a government office job.
Contrary to the idea of the world, about one-third of my executives have already retired, though it doesn't show up.
This is true not only in my period but in recent years as well.
why. (* Similar content is explained in an easy-to-understand video using charts ↑)
One is the imbalance of "treatment" with respect to "work load".
Executive Self-Defense Forces are one of the busiest and toughest professions out there.
From experience, Kasumigaseki, which is said to be black, is busier than Seki.
Here is a brief example of the work of senior SDF personnel.
On days when there are no exercises such as training, I usually go to work from 6 am to 7 am and do work such as document preparation.
After that, I participated in the morning assembly around 8 o'clock, and from 8:30 to 12:00, I had a lunch break after preparing documents, adjusting training, meetings, and receiving guidance from my boss.
In my experience, I have almost no time to rest during lunch break.
I will continue to work while having lunch. As it is, in the afternoon as well as in the morning, we will prepare documents, coordinate training, meet, and receive guidance from the boss. After 17:00, there is a formal closing ceremony. As the sun rises, we don't have much time for adjustments and meetings, so we will not be able to complete the documents in earnest after the ceremony. University graduate executives can return from about 20:00 to 22:00.
Overtime hours will be about 6 hours every day.
Even after a busy weekday, work is basically not done on weekdays.
It is natural for university graduate executives to commute on Saturdays and Sundays regardless of their rank.
I remember that on average, overtime hours per week were 30-40 hours.
This is the end of a regular office or company, but in the case of the Self-Defense Forces, exercises and training come in on a regular basis. The training period is short, including withdrawal and movement, for two days, and long, for about two weeks. Perhaps the average span was about 7 days. During the training, I work 24 hours a day, I can hardly sleep, and I can't take a bath.
Of course, meals are often three meals and are very unhealthy. I suspect that one exercise will shorten the lifespan by several months.
(Although there is no legal concept of overtime) Will the overtime hours during the exercise be 16 hours a day, or 112 hours if you go out for a week?
According to the current situation of the GSDF, this exercise comes in twice a month when busy.
In other words, if you spend a month with overtime hours on weekdays, 30 hours a week and 112 hours a week during exercises, the overtime hours will simply be around 280 hours.
On top of that, about half of the weekends are crushed by training, and it is difficult to take a day off on weekdays, so a lot of substitute holidays are accumulated.
Overtime is rarely close to 300 hours a month, but (for executives) it is basically never less than 100 hours. In addition, university graduate executives will take the CGS (Centimetre-Graphic Program) exam when they become first-class lieutenants, so winter vacation will be completely eliminated for up to four years.
The above is the "work load" of senior SDF personnel who have graduated from university.
Next, I will talk about treatment.
First of all, overtime pay does not occur no matter how much you work. This is because, by law, the Labor Standards Law does not apply to SDF personnel, and their overtime pay is included in their salary.
The Labor Standards Law is not applied, and the fact that overtime is included in the basic salary means that you can work 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, at a fixed amount.
The basic level of university graduate executive self-defense officials is about 250,000 yen in their early 20s, 300,000 yen in their late 20s, 350,000 yen in their early 30s, and 400,000 yen in their late 30s, including various allowances.
In other words, if you add the overtime pay and convert it to an hourly wage, it will be 540 yen to 840 yen. Even if you include the bonus, it will be around 800-1200 yen.
If you work the same amount of time with the minimum wage part-time job, you can get the same salary as an executive self-defense official.
In addition, senior SDF personnel must be transferred about once every two years. In my case, I was transferred once a year, so counting from the Imperial Japanese Army Academy, I moved about 12 times by the 3rd officer.
At that time, even if I moved, I couldn't get the full amount, so I wasn't hungry for a dozen or so man yen including various things.
The above explanation is an example of a graduate of the Ground Self-Defense Force, but I have heard from the same person and seniors that the JMSDF and the ASDF are almost the same.
There is also a chronic shortage of executives.
Normally, everyone would be happy if the rank goes up and they get ahead, but in the case of the Self-Defense Forces, the treatment is not balanced at all for the amount of work, so many refuse to become executives.
In the Self-Defense Forces, the reason why the sergeants and officers in the department often do not want to become executives
"Because I haven't been able to convey the appeal of executive work."
"Because executives aren't working happily."
But it's obviously different.
(Although those who are analyzing it are aware, I think that it is a situation where we have to make a rewarding exploitation because the budget is not available and the capacity is overwhelmingly short.)
Although the SDF's mission has expanded significantly in the last 20 years, its capacity has hardly increased.
The increased amount is the burden of the SDF personnel's death from overwork.
As those who are inside may realize it, it is difficult to maintain the organization
as it is, and drastic improvement is needed.
