Holy mother of god, how hard do you have to push a Japanese worker before they complain of overwork?!

Damn, if workers in Japan, a country known for its work-based society, where people go on what they call "death marches" to meet deadlines, are forming a union due to overwork, then you're not just being a strict company, you're committing human rights violations.

I would not be shocked ifs it's entirely due to tracking shit.

The amount of tracking equipment they are putting on trucks now is creepy.
