    True story: Stalin did this every night with his inner circle. Attendance was mandatory assuming you wanted to live.

    Behind the bastards did a great episode on it.

      hmmm. Death or all your coworkers slightly judging you? White collar work sounds annoying.

        … It’s doubly true for blue collar workers in Asia.

        White collar workers get like 15-20 days off a year in Korea, and these are also used for sick days - at enlightened companies, you can work from home on a sick day and have it not count as leave…

        I don’t know that much about what goes on in blue collar work, but something tells me the workplaces for natives just that are just a few steps above the blue collar labor done by migrants living in barracks in isolated locales working 60+ hour weeks aren’t the type to liberally give sick days.
