Not true. My observations are opposite, however, I am not disapproving what you said, but I don't think there is a conclusion to make.
However, if you prove yourself as a capable strongman that doesn't take objections, then in Asian companies, under the certain circumstances/directives, I believe you can have much more dictating power over your subordinates, which can go to great extent to have them sacrifice all other aspects of their life except work.
For example, Tencent carries out a stunt to have its staff run a 24 hour 2 shifts schedule to deliver PUBG on the mobile devices, to beat its competitors on speed, which I don't think is possible in Western countries.

- seanmcdirmid 7y agoIsn’t Tencent also infamous for running teams against each other by having them build competing products?
- ahartmetz 7y agoMaybe Asia (I actually meant CJK) is an overgeneralization. I have worked with Korean companies and I have friends who are employed by Japanese companies.
- dirtyid 7y agoVideo game crunch in western companies sounds comparably bad TBH. Search for all the drama around unending crunch hell of Fortnight development. If anything 997 seems to formalize and provide and at least provides upper limit on exploitation.
- JetSpiegel 7y agoShould this be "996", or is this a new thing where there's not even one day off?
