Interesting article. My experience with north Asia (Taiwan, Korea, Japan) work culture is that the hours are much longer than the US, but there are a couple of "caveat" - I think that productivity per hour is higher in the US. So, workers in north Asia will be in the office longer, but may not do much more work. Oftentimes, you cannot leave until your immediate boss leaves, and he cannot leave until his boss leaves, so if the top guy stay until 8 pm, everybody below him will be there until then. And #2, it is definitely very seniority based, so yes, it would be very unusual for a young person to question those higher up than himself.
