  • In Japan - Dying from being overworked

    http://www.gadling.com/2007/12/06/bi...ompensates-wi/

    Starts off with a story about a woman suing because her 30-year-old husband died from working too much overtime. The month before he died, he logged 80 hours of overtime for a month. The month he died? He logged 114 extra hours!

    Makes sense. Tons of school kids committ suicide because of the high stress and pressure put on them in their classes.

      That was the subject of a Dilbert strip.

      The trick is to take a break when you see a bright light and dead relatives beckoning.
      Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.
