CEO resigns after overworked employee commits suicide
The head of the Japanese advertising giant Dentsu has resigned after the suicide of a junior employee was linked to a company culture that required staffers to work huge amounts of overtime.
Japanese regulators have found that the woman, Matsuri Takahashi, had been forced to work excessively long hours. The punishing workload resulted in her suicide, they ruled.
Takahashi had clocked about 105 hours of overtime in the month leading up to her death, authorities found.
- Pfft. I've worked much more than that. I worked 12 hour days 6 days a week for 4 months on a political org. Many did that year round.sarahfailin
- ...not that that should be acceptable. Just not suicide inducing.sarahfailin
