Jaksaa, jaksaa vai jaksaako? Tässä viidennessä jaksossa pureudun henkilökohtaisempaan aiheeseen miettiessäni jaksamista uuden kielen opiskelutaipaleella. Kieltä opiskeltaessa on hyvä pitää taukoja ja antaa aivojen levätä. Miten itse jaksoin opiskella venäjää ja miten kieliopintoni Venäjällä meni? Kerron myös omista toimittajakokemuksistani ulkosuomalaisessa sanomalehdessä ja miltä tuntui työskennellä venäjänkielisessä ympäristössä.

Suomea for you

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの16回目です。今日は日本語のレッスンで、生徒さんに有名なオムライスの店について聞きました。私は知らなかったのですが、インターネットでとても有名だそうです。とても人気なので、予約するのが大変らしいです。今日は食べ物の話をしようと思います。

Hello, this is episode 16 of season 2 of my podcast. Today in my Japanese lesson, I heard about a famous omu-raisu restaurant from my student. (Omu-raisu is a Japanese dish made from omelette and rice.) I didn't know about it, but she said it is very famous on the internet. It looks very popular and it is very difficult to make a reservation. Today I will talk about food.

私は昆布飴が好きです。昆布飴とは、昆布で作った飴です。黒くて、柔らかい飴です。リコリスに少し似ています。日本では、昆布やわかめなどの海藻をよく食べます。海藻は味噌汁やサラダによく使われますが、実はお菓子にも使われます。日本でお菓子として昆布が食べるようになったのは、江戸時代と言われています。1683年に、最初の昆布のお菓子が作られました。そのあと、1927年に昆布飴が作られました。最初に昆布飴を作ったのは大阪の会社です。

I like konbu ame. Konbu ame is candy made from kelp. It is soft, black candy. It looks a bit like liquorice. In Japan, people often eat seaweed such as kelp and wakame. Seaweed is often used in miso soup and salads, but is actually also used in sweets. It is said that kelp was first eaten as confectionery in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). In 1683 the first kelp confectionery was made. This was followed by konbu ame in 1927. The first konbu ame was made by a company in Osaka.

若い人は、昆布飴のような伝統的な日本のお菓子をあまり知りません。伝統的な日本のお菓子は、スーパーやコンビニにあまり売っていないからです。売っていたとしても、作り方や材料が全然違います。だから「伝統的なお菓子はまずい」というイメージを持っている人が多いです。だけど、高級な材料を使っているオリジナルのお菓子はおいしいです。日本で伝統的なお菓子を買う時は、スーパーやコンビニではなく、老舗のチェーン店をチェックしてみてください。「老舗」とは、長い歴史を持っているお店のことです。日本には100年以上続いている老舗もあります。

Job insecurity is the feeling of uncertainty or anxiety about the continued existence of your employment. It's the opposite of job security, where there's confidence your position is stable. Job insecurity can be triggered by actual threats like company restructuring, economic downturns, or technological advancements, or it can be a perceived threat based on factors like short-term contracts, limited job control, or a lack of clear career advancement opportunities.

While the fear of job loss might be the main concern, job insecurity goes beyond that. It encompasses feelings of powerlessness, a lack of control over your future, and potential negative consequences like stress, anxiety, and decreased motivation. This can impact not just employee well-being but also company performance through lower productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover.

Job insecurity is a complex issue with various causes and effects. Understanding it allows businesses to create a work environment that fosters security and reduces employee anxiety. This can involve providing clear communication about company goals and employee roles, offering opportunities for professional development, and promoting work-life balance initiatives. By addressing job insecurity, businesses can create a more stable and productive workforce. 

A business coach, like myself, can be a valuable asset in combating job insecurity within a company. They can work with managers to develop transparent communication strategies, ensuring employees understand their roles and the company's direction. Additionally, the coach can guide managers in crafting career development plans for employees, fostering a sense of growth and opportunity. By creating a culture that values continuous learning and clear communication, business coaches empower employees and mitigate the anxieties associated with job insecurity.
