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.
