I just read on My AOL homepage that a Japanese court has found that one of Toyota's top engineers, only 45 years old, died of overwork in 2006. He was the lead engineer working on the Camry hybrid and apparently he was under great pressure and working more than 80 hours a month overtime. Such overwork is called "karoshi" and has been the norm in Japanese industry, in which workers are expected to put in many extra hours, often unpaid. Such lawsuits are reportedly growing in numbers in Japan. This is very sad and makes you wonder if this is how they are able to produce nice cars at a low price.
