I see. Two color pencils are too popular here. When I was a student, teachers correct students’ answer seats with these pencils.

You could add some words in parenthesis.

"Nowadays, if a company which you just joined went bankrupt suddenly (not from your actions), and this situation was repeated on several occasions, you would be called binbohgami as a joke.

I suppose not having that information in parenthesis does leave the sentence up to reader interpretation. One person would think the individual in the sentence wasn't at fault, others would think he/she is at fault.
Thanks!
Japanese people often drop words when speaking in Japanese, so I don’t how I can tell you things exactly. Saying clearly is very hard to me.

People do that, and sometimes frequently. It depends on the individual's situation.

Hope that is of some help, Yuri!
Thanks, Koir!


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
