And Now I'm Stuck in the Web You're Spinning

It really sucks when the people you work with don't trust each other. I feel myself getting stuck in the middle of some pretty complicated webs of he-said-she-said exchanges. It's gotten to the point where I'm having to write contracts of agreement between people. I'm not qualified for this!!!

I really don't know how you deal with working there!! And even try to improve it!! You know what my solution was. I guess you're "taking the high road" or some crap. But anyone who worked there knows what you're talking about, so at least take some solace in that?

Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment. Honestly, we like Japan so much that the job is just a minor annoyance most of the time. There are times, though, when I want to rip someone's face out (and you know who I'm talking about).

You should try existing in the Military...cut-throat is an understatement. (I can't wait to retire!)
You are qualified. Treat them like the children they are; which is sounds like you are already doing. When they confront you, be honest. Tell them exactly why you have to specifically spell-out and contractualize everything...
Some people will get it and some people won't...but that's not your burden.
