Contact some social media ppl (like https://m.youtube.com/@AbroadinJapan) and publicly shame your company, they broke their agreements. They lied. It's not you that is at fault, so it's not you that should suffer.

    My family gets sued. AboardInJapan would also get sued which is why no news orgs ever pick this stuff up.

    Why do you get sued when they are breaching contract? What can their allegations against you possibly be?

    Japanese reputational damage laws. You can get sued even when what you are saying is 100% true

    Can lawyer do nothing for you? Or some sort of NGO?

    Can you do hidden audio recordings in Japan? Record them admitting that they promised one thing and are doing another. Take the recordings to a lawyer.

    I'm sorry, I wish I had some smarter ideas.

    My union says we will go to the legal system if no agreement is reached. It's just been very slow going and, at first, felt like nothing was happening.

    People do hidden recordings. I've heard a mix of things about them actually being admissible if it goes to court (mostly that they are not).
