As we all know, Japanese companies are famous for overtime work. It's so common for a Japanese company to require its employers to work overtime that people ignore the neighboring country, China, where overtime work is as popular, if not, more severe. The intensity and frequency varies according to companies and fields. Nonetheless, overtime work is extremely common and normal, particularly in internet industry.

Nowadays, companies are like machines which keep working without stop once it's turned on. Every one is like a screw, which can be easily replaced as long as the machine keeps working.
