I am sure everyone read on the internet or their local newspaper about some Japanese workers who have actually worked themselves to death. Well sorry folks this one is true. Work is high on the Japanese hierarchy of importance in ones life. Up until rather recently the Japanese were some of the most productive people around.

Of course when you take a closer look at the Japanese work force you will find that a large majority of the excessive amount of overtime they do is unpaid. They do it for the company good.
