...Typical poorly constructed social science survey?<br /><br />We really need to know the survey was worded and how it was spoken if it were administered orally.<br /><br />In this world, “Rock bash my head. Rock bad, wish there be no be rocks.” Instead of “Urrg threw rock at me. Rock hit me in the head. Let’s punish Urrg.”<br /><br />Knowing that there are Japanese who don’t buy into corporate-speak, and who don’t buy into “traditional values,” I wouldn’t hammer the Japanese people as much, but I would hammer corporations and corporate-speak a whole lot more.<br /><br />The overtime numbers need clarification. How many hours is the regular week? Assuming it’s 40 and 159 averages out to almost 40 overtime hours a week, that’s 80 hours. There are plenty of people who work 80 hour weeks and who don’t die.<br /><br />I though a significant economic problem for the Japanese people was unemployment. Unemployment could be allievated if employers stuck to 40 hour weeks, and hired unemployed folks for a second shift.<br /><br />There may be something else afoot with the overtime and dying announcement.Andy Shizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215297395548845513noreply@blogger.com
