This junior auditor pictured below died in PwC Shanghai from fatigue from work. Quote from the original story: "Pan's classmate and friend, surnamed Yu, said Pan had told her before she died that she had been working up to 18 hours a day and about 120 hours a week. One of Pan's colleagues, a senior-level auditor at PwC, who asked not to be identified, told Shanghai Daily 100-hour work weeks were common in recent months as it was peak auditing season."
A very sad story for our profession, that someone would have to work that much. Whether work caused this young girls death or not, it certainly didn't help out the situation.
