this part stuck out to me:
The report based its findings on the number of people who committed suicide or attempt to whose families received workers compensation for their deaths or injuries. Under the Japanese labor law, an employer has to pay compensation to employees or their families for work-related accidents, illnesses and deaths. The families of suicide victims fill out applications to receive the compensation, and the government determines their eligibility. If illnesses or deaths are proven to be work-related, employees or their families can receive a one-time payment or an annual stipend based on his or her base salary. it makes it look like the people did it so their families could benifit.  do you get that out of this?

Yeah Curious I think maybe some of them may have done that although Japan is a very wealthy country that is highly conscious of labels and material things. Based on that it may also be a sense of failure or self esteem driven thing. Honor is also very big in the workplace there and being seen as dishonorable I think would be a driver as well.
Can you imagine working 160 hours in a week. How disorienting that must be. This is so sad |

hi shelly I think the article said they work an extra 160 in a month but still that is working 80 hours a week, which I can't imagine doing.

Hehehehehe bad math on my part. Even 80 hours a week is tough. Imagine doing that on a regular basis. Thats a lot of pressure to cope with.
