Re: Toyota sputters as market shifts; Like Big 3, has too many Trucks, Lacks Small Ca

Anyone hear about the Toyota engineer that died from overwork? It was posted yesterday on Yahoo news. The guy was putting in loads of overtime and his heart basically quit. I heard it was the norm for Japanese companies to encourage this. The Japanese government is cracking down supposedly on this practice. I feel sorry for him and his family.
