Karoshi in Japanese means to die of overwork. This strange phenomena was first sighted in Japan in 1969 and has continued to plague Japan in the 1980s so much so that the ministry of labour had to take some concrete actions. While the Japanese government has wisely taken several remedies including reducing the amount of bullshit in the Japanese work environment such as tossing rice at collegues faces while they are taking a shit. The world at large is blissfully unempathetic.
Karoshi is treated, in other parts of the world, as if it were some occult science like UFOs. But I do propose that the Karoshi is coming with no more scientific analysis than than to state that the amount of work is infinite, the cases of office bullshit (OB) is increasing, and the fact that spontaneous combustion is actually real.
So in true testament to occupation science, I will (with your help) chart all occurances of OB as well as other forms of Karoshi hazards. Maybe by being in the front line reporting and experiencing Karoshi, a stray bullet might find me and someday this blogger will stop blogging.
