A medical resident worked 207 hours of overtime in a month. His case highlights Japan’s continuing problem with karoshi - death by overwork.

So idk who that is but I mean okay but medical residents don’t get 2-week vacations, ever. They don’t get to control what hours they run and end up with shifts so long that they’re using stimulants just to attend said shifts without passing out. Apples and flapjacks, you’re comparing.
I suspect they do get vacations but I suspect it can be quite stressful particularly for some people that don’t manage stress well.
Not that they get to choose, with entire quarters blocked off and never 14-day cushy vacations.
You think I got to choose? Mostly was ok we are not quite so busy and I going to take some days off. Typically your trying to work around all the employee days off. Ultimately the buck stops at you when you’re in that position.
Did your employees get two weeks at a time?
Pretty much always. Within two years that increased to three. Think most broke that up a bit.
Fascinating, glad they got multiple 14-day vacations, and it’s still completely irrelevant. We’re on about medical residents.
