I am completely serious. Schools are closed, banks are closed... It's a real holiday and it's called Labor Thanksgiving Day. And as the average Japanese worker usually works 2 hours a day (every day) overtime without pay (and remember... that's an average so many people work much more!) people here joke that it's thanking the boss for letting them work themselves to death!
Actual death from overwork (karoshi) is not uncommon here...
