Here Is As Good As Any
More from the Salary Man Project. I am always amazed at how hard many of these guys run themselves into the floor. Work insane slave like hours, eat terrible oily food, smoke like it's the air they breath, drink like it's their water, and instead of going home when they have a chance to sleep, they go out and gamble at pachinko parlors. Outside of crackheads I can't think of a more unhealthy and pointless life. Don't get me wrong. I know this is only a small percentage of salary men that live like this, but living in an area that is home to 34 million people you see these types a lot. I find it rather alarming that the government doesn't step in and try to correct this since companies don't really seem to care.
I honestly feel bad for them. In countries that work far less than Japan and achieve the same standard of living or better I can't really see the point of this work ethic. Things are slowly changing here, but sadly not fast enough for those that die from being overworked.
I am guessing this might upset some people, but keep in mind it's an observation from the outside looking in.
