In the IT field, it's all about people.
I want to train my juniors so that they will say, "You're a TFE, aren't you?"
15 years of TFE experience (51 years old)
Job description
I joined the company because the cousin of the company president, who was my classmate, approached me. At the time, I was working in the food wholesale business, but I was thinking about my future career, and I was attracted to the future of the Internet industry, so I decided to change jobs. My motto is "Giri Ninjo, Naniwabushi." I had a hard time at first because I was changing jobs from a different field, but I worked hard, being conscious of "letting people know me as a person first." After serving as the director of the Hamamatsu sales office, I am now in charge of the IT business group. I receive construction orders from telecommunications companies and carry out the construction. Even if the request is difficult, I try not to say no as much as possible and value each and every job. I feel that the way people see me has changed, with more companies asking to work with me and more companies asking to work with me.
What I Gained Beyond Responsibility
Shortly after I started working, my boss taught me the following words: "Don't sell things. Sell yourself." No matter how convenient communication becomes with the advancement of IT in the world, in the end it's all about people. Ultimately, work is about getting "thank you" from people inside and outside the company. To do that, etiquette such as greetings is essential. However, when you're young, you may not realize how important it is. That was the case for me too. Things only start to go smoothly once you understand how you should act to make it easier for others to work and how you can get them to cooperate with you. I think it is one of our responsibilities to convey this to the company and to our juniors. By fulfilling that responsibility, I believe this company can grow even more.
This is what I like most about TFE
A company where you can sympathize with the management policy and trust it.
Without our employees and their families, we cannot work. Everything is for the happiness of our employees and their families. I am glad that the president puts this first. TFE has an environment where hard work is evaluated fairly, not based on academic background or company history. There are no opaque aspects in the so-called "transparent" management. If you work hard, you will be evaluated. This trust in the company is one of the driving forces in working. Until now, business plans were decided by executives and managers, but from 2021, the policy has changed to one where everyone, including general employees, decides on them. We have appointed leaders in various departments such as work regulations, events, and the website, and have started a project to achieve goals in three years. What I like about TFE is that employees are understanding of such projects and can work on them positively.
