The reason I accused you of hating Japan is you seem to idealize American business while focusing on Japan's weak points. From what I've seen and experienced 60+ hour weeks and not knowing your family are common if you're trying to climb the corporate ladder in America. Forced overtime and working yourself into a heart-attack happen here, too. And here the company has no loyalty to you beyond what's forced by the threat of lawsuit. No offense but maybe RTFA? A lot of it's about how through NUMMI GM learned from Toyota how to treat its employees better. Ctrl-f for I saw a guy fall in the pit, and they didn't stop the line. So much of the article is about how the Japanese auto workers received more respect and how that translated into better cars. If you want to be an activist why focus on the metrics you're focusing on? In Japan 72% of suicides are men, in America it's 78%. You mention maternity harassment but the alarming gender disparity in suicide is left out, and it's worse in America. Japan's judicial system may be flawed, but we have 12 times their incarceration rate. In America about 1 in 100 men is in prison, in Japan it's less than 1 in 1000. We can cherry-pick numbers all day, but I think it's safe to say Japan's engineering excellence is not simply a product of worker exploitation. They're doing some things better than us and we should learn from them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_rate#Comparison_with_other_countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_ra...
