What about the relationship between gaming addiction and sudden death?: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/26/AR2006052601960.html There seems to be a relationship, even though no "work" is involved...

Karōshi or Karoshi?

Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article seems to use both "karōshi" and "karoshi" interchangeably. Is there any reason for that? Andrewski 20:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Korea

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The article mentions "Korea" a few times. Is this North Korea or South Korea or both? That should be mentioned, since they are separate countries.

Just wondreing since when does North Korea report statistics on their work force and whether or not they work overtime or commit suicide from overwork? Angry bee (talk) 03:46, 4 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I have added an explanation about why the operating system uses the name karoshi, is this good enough?

Karoshi and seppuku???

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"This term has special significance in Japanese culture due to historical traditions of seppuku." What is the "special significance"? I'm a Japanese, but I can't get the point.

Yes I agree it doesnt make sense

Perhaps it has more to do with the concept of giri, or personal duty - if an employee were to give less than his absolute utmost, the company might fail or experience setback. They would therefore lose face, all because of a single worker. Viewer 22:40, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

"5 Cases"

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the second paragraph, the article states "Since the late 1960s, 5 cases of karōshi were reported in Japan." I believe this is either a typo or very poorly worded. Never mind that five cases in forty years won't get anyone worked up; the statement is contradicted further down with the mention of the 2007 statistics. Since I can't find the source, I am removing the sentence until someone can fix it. 206.193.237.67 (talk) 20:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
