World loses it over Japanese corporate worker's 18-hour day: 'So exhausted'
Briefly

A viral YouTube video showcasing a Japanese salaryman's grueling 18.5-hour day has sparked global reactions, revealing the harsh realities of working in a 'black company'. The individual details his exhausting routine, from a 7 a.m. wake-up to late-night dinner, showcasing the demanding hours and exploitative conditions many workers endure. Critiques in the video emphasize the discouraging practices used by these companies to retain employees, particularly targeting fresh graduates who are more vulnerable to such environments. The stark contrast between tourist perceptions of Japanese work life and the reality faced by many workers has left viewers shocked.
Working long hours is not productive, I heard Japan is implementing a four-day work week. Guess that was just rumors. My work schedule didn't change at all this year.
Many black companies focus on hiring fresh graduates because they are inexperienced and less likely to resist harsh working conditions.
