Yep, "Death from Overwork." In fact, I mentioned it in a recent post ... https://steemit.com/japan/@majes.tytyty/top-4-reasons-for-japanese-to-commit-suicide-notes-from-under-the-tatami-mats-26-my-adventures-in-japan
When I was in Japan, it was a relatively common occurrence. And of course, there were many who were overworked but did not die. You can be certain that their lives were not the most pleasant and rewarding.
I had a student who worked for a major company here drop dead of a heart attack on the job, The guy was a mid-level manager in his early forties. I also noticed at the companies I've taught at that they all have large smoking areas that are completely full whenever there is a break.
And I've heard Toyota, Mitsubishi, and a few other big companies will ask ambulances to turn off their sirens if someone drops dead at work or commits suicide when they come to collect the body.
Nicotine+caffein+fast-food+long work hours+no exercise+alcohol in the weekend=death @ workplace maybe?
That's so horrible, I heard about these things but I never really believed it...
How can you find happiness living like that... I guess for the people who are extremely passionate about their jobs and don't have a wife and kids, its perfect, until that day when your boss asks you to "fire yourself"...
