But I want a company that is kind enough to provide cots so I can sleep at the office and not wait all that time going home!!

I like working for Germans. They expect you to bust your ass until 5pm. Then they don't expect to even hear from you until 9am tomorrow.

Reminds me of Amélie Nothomb's "Fear and Trembling" book.
I havent read this one. *Added to cart.

What, not story to elaborate?

Japanese working culture is world-renown for being high-stress and one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

Is it the work, the love life, or the online video game competition that pushes people over the edge?
That does sound bad :-/

Work life balance is a concept foreign to them, I think.

Same in the US - still frowned upon in some circles to take your full paid vacation entitlement - fuck that.

As far as I know, it's getting better. But it's a very slow process
Culture could be a factor why it's slow It's a step in the right direction though.
Too rigid sometimes. Most of the times.

Ya that movie Ramen Girl really spells that out

Did you learn the trick where you leave for the night, but leave stuff on your desk so they think you're too busy to go out drinking nightly
Nah. It's quite the opposite, our GM is a very tidy person. Clean desk before going back home, every day.
Right but when they see you tidying up, they start trying to get you to go out drinking. Every. Damn. Night. Leave a little mess and scram!
I did that sometimes, my boss told me it's not niceeee. And they expect women to be tidy like Marie Kondo you know.
Ah, didn't know you were female. Yeah, that changes things sometimes. All sorts of crazy social rules anyway, most are just ... dumb.
1 thing for sure, we must think ahead 8 to 10 times before deciding something. Theyre very good at it, thats what I missed the most.
