I worked for a Japanese company once (not in Japan) and we had some Japanese workers come over to work in our team, and that is one country I would hate to work at. It's brutal and many people do sleep at their desks...not in the manner in this article, but they'll work til 8pm, 9pm at night, sleep under their desks and start again at 7am. In their culture it's important to show that you're working as hard as you possibly can. If they take time off they have to apologise to the whole company when they return...the stories are endless. The mind boggles.

Wasn't there some article recently that mentioned the Japanese don't necessarily embrace technology in the workplace as much as we do elsewhere, and as a result they tend to a lot of things manually that could be automated or done much more efficiently...such as still relying on fax and printed inter-office memos...and thus despite working a lot more hours on average than the rest of the world, productivity remains remarkably low...

Kinda sad for such well-educated and hard workers. I'm not a "technology for technology's sake" kind of guy, but where there's room for improvement - you might as well integrate these in your work habits.

I suggested that we have an area set aside for power naps where I work now, but the idea was rejected.

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Me too, and I don't like the way they split even very little content into 10 pages you have to navigate through...

I had some help there.
Years ago, we came home to a telephone message from a friend's girlfriend, Lorraine:

"Hello! It's La
... (long pause)
La
... (long pause)
Lorraine.
...
Are you there?
No? OK, well I'm coming round in 5 minutes if that's OK?
... (long pause for us to answer)
Oh. Is it Ok if I come round?
...
Oh. You aren't there.
I'll come round anyway."

After which she was referred to as "the Kent Road Tellytubby"...
