Comment on 24 year old Ogilvy China employee dies from 'overwork'

Comments

This is so common in Japan they have a word for it. Which came in useful for naming our group at a previous company: "Team Karoshi".

I think they use the same term in Chinese. It's "过劳死" which in pinyin is "guo4lao2si3" (over work death)

Ah, it's the same in Japanese - 過労死 (mandarin has the simplified characters).
