office worker reveals soul-crushing past paycheck for 171 hours of overtime
 

 

“My wages when I was 22 years old. For 171 hours of overtime, after deducting taxes, I got 227,000 yen. (US$2,067) Every month I did at least 120 hours of overtime, and I never received a bonus. [Many Japanese companies bonuses to workers twice a year, in June and December.] I lived in the company dorms and I only visited family twice a year. My annual salary was 2,800,000 yen. (US$25,875) After taxes, it became 1,790,000 yen. (US$16,303) When I brought this up [to my supervisor], I was told: “You don’t know anything about how cruel society can be. Even if your wage is low, you need to come to work and suck it up.” And with that, I quit that job right there.”

- Japan's medium income is $29,798 a year. which is still low for there work culture.
