This might be a reference to the Japanese concept called Nomikai, an incredibly common practice where workers go out drinking with their boss. For some workplaces, this can be a worker's only shot to impress their boss or get their attention.
You're exactly right about my intentions for this post. I'm trying to make memes that are less centered the U.S.
Very similar concept in Korea. I got a job offer there after a three month project I did as a PhD student, and at some point realised it was mostly because I was a good after-work drinker. Which of course was easy, as the only people I knew there were from work, and I knew it was for a limited time. Keeping that up long term? No chance.
