Kansai Culture Black companies

Unfortunately, there are still companies that make you overwork in Japan. A bar in Kyoto had its own thoughts about it and made a comment on its blackboard.

Let's admit it.

There are companies in Japan called black companies【ブラック企業：ぶらっくきぎょう】, those companies which make you work over hours and don't pay you the adequate salary to match the time and effort you have devoted.
There's a movie about them and even unofficial annual nominations made.
We even have hashtags (＃ブラック企業)for them.

Recently a bar in Kyoto wrote a short comment about these companies on their blackboard and has created a little buzz trend on twitter.

With the words
命と引き換えに
願い事を叶える
悪魔に対して
命を削るくせに
何もしてくれない
ブラック企業って
悪魔以上だよな
written on the blackboard in the image.

Translation:
In exchange for your soul, demons will do you diabolic favour,
meanwhile, some companies do nothing for you no matter you sacrifice your life,
isn't that worse than a devil.

with a comment saying,
幽霊より怖いのは人間、なんて言いますけど。
(As some say, humans are scarier than ghosts.)

Some retweeted to this saying;
