5 reasons why I love CF

Hello. I'm Hata Mine from the Coding Factory.
Monosus is the company I ended up at after working at a number of different companies. The Coding Factory department I work for is called CF for short.
I've been really happy recently that I was able to come to this CF,
This time I would like to introduce what I like about this CF.

1. They care about their peers

Joining CF has taught me that it is important to show concern and to be cared for in daily life.

In my previous workplace, I didn't really care about anyone other than the person sitting next to me or someone I was particularly close to, but at CF there is a kind of culture of caring about each other as a whole.

This happens to me a lot too, but when I'm in trouble I don't have the time to talk to people about my situation. But I think it's good to have someone who can sense that.

Furthermore, rather than just noticing, if a problem occurs, everyone shares it and works towards a solution. I don't want this kind of culture to disappear, so as a member of CF, I try to be proactive and notice any changes in everyone's behavior.

Now I'd like to share some of my own tips for detecting these types of problems!

Tips for detecting

• When the enter sound is so light and cheerful, did something good happen?
• On the other hand, have you ever been annoyed by the loudness of the enter button?
• When your task is swelling and you're blue in the face
• When your face is greasy after staying up all night
• When you are simply not feeling well and are unable to move

If you experience any of the above, please talk to someone close to you.

2. You can drink as much as you want

I go out drinking on a regular basis, but I'm most likely to go out drinking at the monthly Corder MTG and the regular Monosus nights.

The four people I invited out for drinks were Takeda-san, Kakunami-san, Tamaki-san, and myself.
Each person has a different way of inviting others and who they invite, which can be interesting.

This is a photo from a hot pot party we had at the Hatamine household.

When we start drinking, we start talking about small talk and things unrelated to work, but gradually we start talking about work and the conversation gets more heated.

What's common at every drinking party is the positive talk about wanting to improve the current situation, which is not good, and we talk a lot about "efficiency," which is everyone's goal for this year.

When I get really excited, I sometimes end up drinking until 5am, which leaves me exhausted.
I have a rule when it comes to choosing a restaurant: I never choose an izakaya that's open 24 hours a day.
Drinking at a bar where there is no end in sight because of CF members is a very dangerous act, and if no one stops it, all the plans for the next day will turn into sleeping. So I'm sticking to that at all costs.

3. Many people are honest

Just from the fact that we drink to our heart's content, I can already sense that there is no double standards in our relationships, but even ignoring that, all the members speak their minds honestly and straightforwardly, so the conversation moves forward without any double standards.

I tend to think about a lot of things and worry before I speak, but in the end, I won't know what kind of reaction I'll get from the other person until I say it, so I've stopped worrying about useless things.

Sometimes we speak too directly which causes friction, but a third party is there to make sure the discussion doesn't get distracted by emotions and we are able to move in the direction of understanding each other.

Even if friction arises, I hope that we can continue to be a club where honest opinions are valued.

4. You can talk with people of your generation

We've had some new members since January, including some from the younger generation, but the majority of the members in CF are in their 30s. They're the generation that knows the word "Kamehameha."
It's easier to talk to people close in age.
It's easy to talk to him about work, and I can pretty much guess what makes him laugh.
When talking with people of the same generation, the adult shell gradually disappears and the conversation becomes more childlike.
A lot of the conversation is pretty silly, so if a complete stranger shows up, they might be put off (lol). If a stranger shows up, they might become as quiet as a cat on a stray for fear of being put off, and might be seen as quiet people (lol).

Last year, I went to an event called "Manpaku" with some members who were available for CF.
What kind of event is it? It's an event where you can eat a variety of delicious food and drink alcohol starting from lunchtime.

After eating my fill, I lay down and took a rest.

We decided to buy what we each liked and bring it to the meeting place to eat and drink,
We all like to eat similar things.
We are reassuring members of the same generation.
We finished off with some ramen, and then, all full, we lay down in the grass in a nearby park to wait for our stomachs to settle.
If we were in our early 20s, we probably would have just gone home, but we all wanted to take a break at similar times, so I'm glad we're the same generation.

That day remains a fond memory of a relaxing time for me, and since it will apparently be held at the same place this year (2018) I'm working hard at my busy job so that we can all go together.

5. No hierarchy

Department heads and leaders not only listen to our opinions in an open manner, but are also happy to give us advice.
It is common for subordinates to consult with their superiors, but it is also the superiors who ask their subordinates for advice.
I think that relationships that are not one-sided lead to an environment where it is easy to work.
To be honest, when I first joined the company I was surprised because it was a culture I had never experienced before.
I have a stock of cup ramen at my company, and when my manager heard about it, he came to me to ask if I could sell them.
I was surprised, but I knew I would be so busy that I wouldn't have time to go shopping.
I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help, so I thought if something as simple as cup ramen could solve their problem, I would be happy to give as much as I could, and so I did.
I'm not a cup ramen fan either, but I'm able to work in a relaxed environment where I can ask for advice or give my opinion, no matter how trivial.

I've mainly introduced my favorite things about drinking and having fun, but
These five things I like about my job are only possible because I don't just play around, but I make sure to properly balance work and play.
As a member of the club, I would like to help make the club more exciting so that everyone can live a fulfilling life with 100% play and 100% work.
