You think American work culture is bad (which it is)? You should see Japanese work culture… the sheer amount of unpaid work they do over there, along with mandatory unpaid socialising, even holding a collection for their bosses and bringing back souvenirs for their colleagues and bosses when they go on holiday somewhere :/
Yeah, it’s a whole thing, it’s called omiyage and it’s seen as an apology for your absence and thanking your boss and colleagues for allowing you time off.

Damn, I used to do that for some coworkers because we were actually friends. I cannot imagine how shitty it would feel to be forced to do that.

…y’know, your entitlement to paid leave.
