They work a lot, practically all they do is work which is why they are so stressed out and tired all the time.

That's what happens when labor laws don't exist or aren't enforced. Unpaid forced OT, no PTO, paid OT but unliveable wages until you reach OT (So you are forced to work more than 40 hours to survive) etc etc.

Because it's the "Land Of The Rising Sun". It's too bright to ever get sleep. That's why they're all sleeping in the subway.

These people obviously need energy drinks

I bet these pictures were taken late at night. many japanese workers don't get home til like midnight or later. it's considered normal to sometimes work way past quitting time. but they don't get paid for the extra hours. they are just expected to do it.

Better question is who doesn't sleep on the subway?

Pretty sure everyone does.

Cause China is known as the East and Japan is next to China.

I did a skype interview for a Japanese company and the guy literally told me I was crazy for wanting to work there after I told him about labour laws where I live (NZ).

Unless you are working for Level-5 or a non-Japanese multinational corporation where 8 hours is the norm, then you're working for half a day + and that gets tiring.
