OddBaller;1325724; said:Japan has one of the lowest job change percentage worldwide. In fact it is looked down upon to leave a job. I believe their nation average is 7-10years per company. While here in the states its within 2years. That guy must of been very dedicated to his career to take upon such a position. BUT to say it is his job that caused his death i feel is stretching it. Sure stress and long hours can take its toll on the body. But it is the responsibility of the individual to fully recoup or de-stress while not at work. Otherwise he/she is not fit for the position. Rule #1 of nature..... only the strong survive.....
From 20-23 my work schedule was like this
Sunday 8am-8pm= 12hrs
Monday 12am-8pm= 20hrs
Tuesday 12am-8pm= 20hrs
Wednesday 2am-8pm= 18hrs
Thursday- Off
Friday 12pm-8= 8hrs
Sat.- Off
Total= 78hrs a week
Me and the 3other people who ran the company were all in our twenties and had to take medication for heart pains. Falling asleep on the toilet was commonAnyways it was what i had to do to make a living.
Today i work 7days a week and stress levels are at a all time high... I make it a point to de-stress and keep fit if i want to produce at a high level.... Which is why i joke around so often....
I see too many people who are "boss haters"... unlike in Japan the pressure of staying with a job is not as high here... The nationwide average for "work productivity" is less than 20%...... which means you are wasting your bosses money right now if your at work.... In America i feel there is no such thing as employees....... from the janitor to CEO... we all exchange services for $$$.... how hard we work and how much $$$ we make is ultimately determined my ourselves.....
sorry i just had to get this off my chest..... carry on.....
i sleep about average 4-5 hours per day...
