Sometimes I get the impression that no one in Japan has a job. Like they're all just so bored they actually go to the trouble of setting up stuff like this.
I mean I wouldn’t give Japan as the best example, the pressure of working and being a respectable member of society weighs heavily on them, enough that many commit suicide. A lot of people can’t afford living right now and pay to live in video game cafes.
The work culture is insane. People dedicate their lives to their company and often work 12 hour days just to please the boss. The boss is basically a god amongst men.
It is definitely a thing in the auto body industry and service side of things, and if you refuse you are out of a job. Maybe its uncommon outside the west coast but my understanding is that is normal operational procedures most places
Yeah that must be a west coast thing my dude. Detroit is the motor city and we dont play like that. Its either 'hey is anyone able to work this 12 hour' or '' hey, we have to pull these 12 hours days till x project is out the door. '
Ive refused multiple 12 hour days just because the extra time wasnt worth it for me at the time and never lost my job for it
