They created a culture wherre work is the ONLY life anyone is ever allowed for any reason, and literally punish women for gettting prergnant by destroying her ENTIRE career and life......then have the balls to whine and bitch that women aren't getting pregnant and not having babies. Yeah guys, welcome to the consequences of your own terrible decision making.

I worked in Tokyo as an ESL teacher for 4 months. I was supposed to be there for a year but I'd had enough of that toxic work environment. -You're not paid for overtime hrs -people just hang around after work until the boss leaves, even if they're not doing anything. It's so bizarre and unhealthy. -The physical workspace isn't efficient. shared material, which means you're scrambling right before your class cause the other teacher JUST finished with the material you need for your class. -Hot summers with no A.C. They did this thing, where I worked, they'd have the air on but you could barely feel it. Teachers would be walking around sweating. And they would bring technicians in to "fix" it, but I think it was just for show. It was a very sneaky, toxic environment. Japan is one of my favorite places to visit. But I'd never want to live and work there again.

Japan's workers are stuck in the cycle of programming from cultural norms. Get wealthy, work hard, obey masters, do not speak, portray sweetness, fight against one another to be number one. Then lust after financial freedom before most have hit 50. Problem is life is today and they stick money away depriving themselves relationships, food to keep mentally acute, and sleep. I guess they think everyone should be rich and live without trouble. They are delusional. Suicide, instant deaths from exhaustion, no social outlets, no partners. All work and no down time. Totally miserable . And worse people idolize these people. Insanity imo.🇨🇦🤦🏻I am so far below on income, but I have a life even with my disability at 62 years young.

I have to agree Remote work makes 9-5 jobs much more manable and takes off some of the stress of getting up in the morning and traveling to work or the stress of trying to go home as fast as possible to have time for your self. by remote working I get back 4 hours out of the day, that I can have time for my self. meaning it used to take me 1 1/2 hours or 2 hours sometimes to get to work in my old Jobs . now I get that Hour and half back in the mornings and when I get off from work, most people have a 9-5 or a 9-6 scedual , so if you get off at 5 most people don't get home until 6:30 on average some people get home at 7pm and some lucky once who live close to work can get home at 5:30 - 6pm . but if you work from home often times your done with your task by 4pm and you just coast to 5pm and your done right on the dot. you can have the rest of the day/evening to your self and not have to feel tired communiting home where once you get home you don't want to do anything else since your tired getting home at 6:30 to 7:30pm etc you just eat watch maybe 1 movie and then sleep, while if you're already home at 5pm you get the full 5 hours to do something before 10pm etc.

The situation is still horrible. I worked in Japan until mid of last year. Some colleges worked at least 10 hours per day and on top of that they had a commute of 3 hrs per day. One person was burned out and was gone for like 2 months. Additionally, it is not productive at all. One is tired all the time and because of that it’s hard to concentrate. It is totally normal to sleep at your desk (during working time). It’s just incredibly stupid. Edit: At my current job with less hours, my research has a better quality and I am not depressed as fuck all the time.

Very interesting article, but I felt an important notion was missing. The aricle had only presented the people agreeing, that Karoshi is a problematic issue (and it is), but there are also people in Japan, that hold on to the absurd idea, that Karoshi is something like the badge of honour - "giving up your life to build the country", and stuff like that (particularly the elderly, no suprise here). While I was working in Germany, I've met a woman from Japan, who lost both of her parents to Karoshi, and she told me, that her relatives, even her grandparents, are in total denial about it, claiming their deaths were "noble and heroic" (perhaps, it is a way of coping, but still...). It shows, just how deeply rooted the idea "hard work" is, in the minds of Japanese, not efficient work, not effective work, not innovative work (these notions are often frowned upon, considered as subversive, actually) just HARD.

Japan (and Germany) had a collective guilt post WW2. This combined with an economic imperative to work intensively to rebuild infrastructure, commerce, communications, education and social welfare. This diligent and strong work ethic has however become so entrenched in the next generation that some corporations are abusing the mindset, vulnerability and passion of humanity. Moderation and pragmatism is needed to ensure Regulations are enacted. China has this same issue growing as we speak… much of the “West” has swung too far the other way with a liberal, woke anti-establishment agenda. It’s not going to end well 😲

One of the absolute worst, if not *the* worst thing about Japan is the vile work 'culture'. Currently at my company, there are at least 3 people who are sick because of their oppressive workloads, with one just gone on extended leave due to the seriousness of their illness. As discussed in this film, the appalling 'power harassment' drives people to quit or have breakdowns. The vicious bullying that occurs at schools just carries on into working life. To make matters worse, as mentioned here too, the salaries are woeful. As much as I have sympathy for all those affected, it is so frustrating that people don't/can't/ won't just say "No". These days, companies are struggling to recruit, so in a sense, the employees have the upper hand. Yet they consider "gaman" (endurance/perserverance) as a virtue, so people stay silent, suffer...and then decide death is the only escape.

This is a good documentary shows the reality of Japanese society. Workers show their loyalty to the organization by working longer hours than other workers. Also, when other workers are working hard towards their work goals, they put in more effort than others, valuing the atmosphere and harmony in the workplace. Not putting in effort is a dishonorable and shameful state. Unfortunately, this process can bring about death. On an unrelated note, part-time jobs are called Arubaito in Japan. The word comes from German, but I don't know why.

I think the parents are complicit in this. They push their kids at school and then push them to do cram school, extra tutoring, extra activities, etc. The kids grow up to be adults who don't want to disappoint their parents or authority figures. If they were to quit their job due to exhaustion, the parents would be embarrassed by them I bet. They only work themselves to death because they feel like they have no choice.

The key factor is money. If you can convince the government that it is losing money due to Karoshi, there would be a change in attitude. This is true of any government. Money greases the wheels.

Years and years ago someone created a version of SpongeBob SquarePants if SpongeBob SquarePants was Chinese, on KZfaq since workers in China are often far too overworked, and yet SpongeBob SquarePants absolutely loves being overworked, and since in Japan, workers aren't being treated any better than workers in China, there should be a version of SpongeBob SquarePants if SpongeBob SquarePants was Japanese.

These people put one of the most overengineered cars they ever developed into Street Fighter and allowed you to bash it. My theory is this is how the relieve the stress of work stress. Some software engineer left Toyota and ended up helping make Street Fighter. Jokes aside, Toyota is actually the outlier as in its lean system, overtime is viewed as a form of waste and burden. Unfortunately, other Japanese companies do not take this view

@jhavajoe3792 16 күн бұрын

Like in the U.S., once you have a family and it's difficult to get another job, the unfortunate can't say "No" to an employer's request to get that deadline taken car of at all costs. I have little hope the Government will implement enough measures to cease this kind of thing. Work is such a big part of people's lives, but we're only human to burn out. Been there- I'm happy I'm alive. No way, I'll run the treadmill again in this lifetime.

I don't know what's worst, working yourself to death and having food, shelter, and a roof over your head. Or, being homeless and eating food from the garbage can. It's like God made us either to work ourselves to death or go homeless 😢. If you are lucky, you are born rich and live comfortably.

Don't you dare. God did Not make us do anything. We did this. Satan is active too if you bring God to trial. Blame that jerk for this why don't you. God blame is a copout. It burns me when people pass off human stupidity on God. Not to mention disrespecting our Creator. Free will was a gift. Curses come from nobody taking responsibility for man's mistakes he put action. God did not do this. He warned us how to live.To look to Him nit trust in money or the world. Pride tells you God is to blame. Free will. If God told us right from wrong, gave free will and we mess up, He can not be blamed for our stupidity. He taught us and we know better if we pay attention to His scriptural teaching. It is on us. Accountability bud. 🤦🏻🇨🇦
