Though I agree on the cultural ignorance point (especially not choosing to localize terms so that they sound exotic), needless overtime and the 996 culture are absolutely a problem. It's not so much that the work is tiring as the hours are unnecessary and prohibit people from doing stuff outside of work. 20-30 years ago, bonding with peers after work was still pervasive in China/Japan/SK, but the hours were nowhere near as crazy as they are now.
