As one of my bosses used to say, "You have 168 hours in a week to get the job done." Of course he was an Army General and we were working to protect the troops in combat.

That works out to a little less than 14 hour days. While in Iraq I habitually had between 60 to 80 hours of OT a week. At times a 14 hour day was a break.

So I question the "overwork" as the cause of death.

Overwork won’t be killing any US journos. Lazy buggers just sit at the keyboard and make stuff up.

Everyone has the ability to say “stop.”

I feel badly for this person but it was her call.

Prayers for her confusion and soul.

A lot of so called “overworked” people are barely putting 8 hours of work. You can’t believe how much time is wasted by them just chatting away or staring into their screens.

This is so ingrained in the culture it is not going to change until the labor shortage gets severe enough. The only question being debated now is the upper limit whether at large companies should be 80 or 100 hours of overtime a month, before forcing them into unpaid work.

I've read that Japanese schoolkids go to class something line 12 hours a day,6 days a week 50 weeks a year.
