The average working week in the US has increased by four hours in the last 30 years to over 45 hours. In extreme cases people have died as a result of working too long hours. The Japanese have a special name for it - karoshi. In one recorded case a man did not have one day off work, or even dinner with his family for seventeen months. He only slept between 30 minutes and two-and-a-half hours a night, and by the time he killed himself he was working until 6.30 a.m. once every three days.

O kam duodami atsakymai? :) Jie turėtų būti kažkaip labiau užslaptinti:)
