    Knowing Japan, it’ll formally be 4 10-hour days rather than 4 8-hour days. Though in a culture where it is considered unacceptable to leave before your boss does, whether that’ll translate into people spending an extra 2 hours in the office is uncertain.

        I don’t know. I think maybe certain types of jobs, and certain sectors are as bad or worse than Japan, but Japan takes all the bad overworking practices of the worst “grindset” “over achiever” jobs in the US and applies them universally, from the lowest minimum wage worker on up.
