The family of a 26-year-old doctor in Japan who died by suicide last year after working more than 200 hours of overtime in a single month have pleaded for change in a nation long plagued by overwork culture.

Did he fucking sleep at work? Japanese culture requires usually an hour before and after work that isn't considered overtime and isn't paid although this practice is becoming more rare or lessening to 30 minutes. It may have been even worse than quoted here if they did not take that into account as his "overtime"
