Japan’s public broadcaster has revealed that one of its reporters died from overwork.
NHK said that labor officials had concluded that the 31-year-old political reporter died from heart failure caused by spending long hours on the job.
Japan, known for its ‘salaryman’ culture and punishing work hours, has struggled for years to tackle the impact of overwork on employees’ health. A government study published last year found that one in five workers is at risk of working themselves to death.
Excessive hours are such a big problem that there’s even a Japanese word for death by overwork: karoshi.

This should be a warning to the North Baton Rouge economic development district of what could happen should businesses invest in the area....

How many a-hole bosses are using this story saying "why can't you be more like that guy?!?"

That's only working 15 hour days for the normal 21 days a month that people work. We got boys here that do that regularly...maybe it's because she was a woman.

A lot of this Japanese "overwork" thing is bullshite. I used to work for a company that had Japanese staff in los Angeles. Dudes would come in at noon or 1PM just so they could call Japanese customers at 8PM to appear to be working overtime extra hard. This is a cultural thing, but dont be fooled into thinking all Japanese work 18 hour days. That might have been true once, but not any more.

Truck nuts must have been the size of watermelons.

I remember my first part time job too

Let me tell you an essential truth about the way Japanese approach work . In general the Japanese work much longer hours but are less efficient. We used to laugh at how much effort they put in to outlast one another - getting absolutely nothing accomplished except meeting each other expectations/ one- upping each other. Lots of hours lots of make work.

I don't see the big deal. I've done 80+ many times, especially when I was doing shift work doing 12 hour shifts. Plus a reporter working tons of hours? Were they just writing, interviewing people, traveling? Doesn't sound like labor intensive work..

Posted on 10/6/17 at 11:36 am to goofball
