My brother - 07-08-2008, 10:40 PM

My brother worked for Toshiba computer company for 4 years in Japan and then quit his job and came back to states.
He loved Japan but could not handle being overworked in the company. The more hours he put in, he said he was required to work more to compete for better salary and to keep his job.
Now he is back in US and working for bank making more money with less working hours.
I think this news is more geared toward people who works for the corporate company like my brother did in the past.

They need to change the cause of the problem instead of providing benefits after they kill themselves. For example, set a limit to how much a company can make a person work a week or something.

The thing is, these people have no choice but continue overworking themselves to provide support for their family unless they want to be fired from their jobs... Pretty sad imo.
