Officially upgraded to associate professor with lifetime tenure. I’m told that it’s almost impossible to fire me, so get ready for subversive comments.

I was upgraded to a no limit position, which is kind of like tenure. Basically it means I’m harder to get rid of. But, I discovered that the university doesn’t give you a contract. You just work with some magical understanding of what you’re supposed to do.
Is this normal? Seems at least legally problematic. Any other people working in Japan have a similar situation?
I can't seem to post on the H-Buddhism account, so I'll share today's post this way.
