Too Long; Didn't Read

In Thailand, it’s difficult to get a visa and work permit as a foreigner. The work schedule started as a typical 9–5 in Thailand, meaning 9–6 pm. It quickly turned into, “Can you work Saturdays?”, ‘Can you stay until 7 pm?’ The work was over-overtime. The poor guy was denied any sick leave or time for check-up appointments. He had an infection for 3 weeks. Not once did my boss ask if he was okay or show any humanity — he was met with an upset boss.
