The Japanese, on the other hand, are extreme. A large portion of the population in Japan has 2 other part-time jobs aside from their regular job. With this in mind, it is not difficult to imagine how Japan was able to achieve it's current status as an economic and technological giant.
What is sad, however, is that some people die of working too much. Just last week, a 24-year-old copywriter, Mita Duran, who used to work for Y&R Indonesia, slipped into coma and subsequently died due to working for 30 hours straight and consuming much (too much, it can be said) coffee and energy drink along the way.
Although it has already extended its apologies to the family and has already issued an official statement on the matter, Y&R Indonesia is now facing criticisms because, surprisingly, Mita Duran is not the first employee of the same company to have died this year due to extremely long hours of work shift. People are now thinking this might be another case of unfair labor practice.
Her tweet about her 30-hour shift was posted on Twitter. (Source of photo: Business Insider, http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/52b1bfec69bedd8b7cbe02d7-650-463/screen%20shot%202013-12-18%20at%2010.36.06%20am.png)
