RE: Top 3 Reasons that Japanese Employees Are Never Fired (Notes from Under the Tatami Mats–28 … My Adventures in Japan)

in #japan6 years ago

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.

Sort:  

Nicotine+caffein+fast-food+long work hours+no exercise+alcohol in the weekend=death @ workplace maybe?
