The young Japanese working themselves to death
This happens in New York as well. What if we could hear from the people suffering from this directly?<p>We can. Earlier today, a post showed up here about John. It was flagged. I expect my comment to also be moderated, which will reinforce my feelings of being ignored by the world.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;yeukhon&#x2F;suicide" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;yeukhon&#x2F;suicide</a><p>I investigated what&#x27;s happening to him, and empathise with a lot of his struggles. We&#x27;re overworked, underpaid, ignored, and rejected by the government.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;y3ukhon" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;y3ukhon</a><p>He&#x27;s got excellent work experience for Mozilla, and a good degree. Working for a tech company in New York. What&#x27;s bad about that?<p>- He&#x27;s still asking for a second job on weekends just to make ends meet.<p>May 22: &quot;What part time job would allow me to work on Friday - Sunday with some rest in between? Need one so I can make up some cash.&quot;<p>- He can&#x27;t afford anything more than a tiny room:<p>Apr 13: &quot;if only @LifeOnPurple can release a full size mattress tonight I&#x27;d be able to purchase &gt;_&lt; my bedroom can&#x27;t take a Queen size. #mattress&quot;<p>- He cares about the world, but it makes him poor (me too - refusing to work for weapons manufacturers or oil companies has seriously limited my scope of potential jobs)<p>Apr 5: &quot;I&#x27;d be interested in working at places where I can exercise social responsibility and making industry standard salary. Too hard.&quot;<p>- He&#x27;s bored at work, probably because managers don&#x27;t give him enough to do, or don&#x27;t care enough to simply talk to him. ]<p>Mar 28: &quot;When I don&#x27;t seem to do much or making huge progress at work I wonder am I the new fossil at work? At age of 25? Really?&quot;<p>- He can&#x27;t get insurance (me too) because of systematic mistreatment of foreigners by the government (me too):<p>Mar 5: I write software so I am denied for vision coverage. I am Chinese so I am denied for liver coverage. #preexistingconditions
