Except that it isn’t 9 to 5 anymore. My wife works until 7-8pm sometimes. In Japan, they have a term for overwork: karoshi. So do the South Koreans.
Sad, so very sad. And then they have nomikai after hours with their boss, or work overtime without being properly compensated because of societal pressures. Not to mention the yen getting hammered so there really is no option but to continue working...
