What did you say?” You answer in Japanese, “I think I indirectly insulted his wife!” Your colleague asks in Japanese, “What do you mean?” You explain in Japanese, “Well, I think I said something about her family’s company. I didn’t know she was related to the people who own that company, and I made a disparaging comment about the company’s leadership. After all, it has been losing money for quite some time.” Your colleague says in Japanese, “Well, at least you didn’t insult the boss or his wife directly.” You nervously shift your weight from one foot to the other and ask in Japanese, “I guess…but what would you recommend I do to save face? I need to keep my job!”
