I think this scene really sums up a lot of the dynamic between the company and the staff, as well as the professionalism of our meetings ;) I never had a twelve hour day, but I'd believe it if a company asked someone to work one. In general I found head office had some pretty unrealistic expectations of it's staff. Though I find that phenomenon is not limited to the shores of Japan. If you are in the Seattle area please visit me at the Cloudscape Booth where I'll be joined by the sensational Jonathon Dalton, the co-creator of Teach English, and creator of many fine works including "Lords of Death and Life".
