     @lamp apparently it's fairly normal to take a nap when working, which probably is only a cope with Japan's work culture

     @matrix @lamp It got bad enough the government made new labor rules on overtime, and companies have been setting limits on working hours & trying to enforce them, but the only effect is that workers now have less time to handle the same workload.

     @lamp "japan moment" when the snarky Duolingo guy wrote this to show another "dark side of japan"
     
     there's a trend among shitlibs to portray japan as undesirable as possible, bcs overwhelmingly homogenous and traditional (still)

     @japananon @lamp Same work less time is probably even more stressful. I assume it's partially connected to shrinking population since there's just less and less people to do the work

     @matrix @lamp The shrinking workforce might factory into it. I think a lot of it is the game of hot potato everybody's playing. Labor Ministry pushes new overtime laws to look like they're doing something. Company doesn't want to get fined by the Labor Ministry, so they kneejerk regulate working hours without thinking of the consequences. All of the shit just rolls downhill.

     @japananon @matrix @lamp one of my favorite moments of the overtime discourse was when a mental health PSA graphic was made about autism. It was detailing how some people with autism will insist on leaving work on time and not understanding how that could be a problem for other coworkers. I know there was some comments laughing about how leaving work "on time" was an unusual mental issue.
     
     I think it was on twitter.
