It was Japanese management.

I loved the agency, but they could be brutal. I used to watch Japanese managers bring subordinates to tears.

They were gentler to me, but not that much gentler. I had the "privilege" of being in the "inner circle" of trust.

Ah - agency and responsibility but without the western style boundaries.

I suppose there has to be a sacrifice.
