Salary cut for leaving 3 minutes early

 

A Japanese company has fined a half day salary of its employee on discipline charges. Well! If you wish know the disciplinary charges, here they are! The employee was often found leaving for the lunch three minutes earlier than the schedule. And there is a genuine reason for the early departure. He doesn’t bring food with him and has to purchase it. But the company doesn’t seem to care about the reason. Though the news might look funny or outrageous for us, it’s very normal in Japan. Japan is thought to have most strict work culture in the world. People work for such long hours in Japan that they sometimes die due to overwork which is called KAROSHI.
