No, it isn't. It wasn't that frequent, but he (and others) did, from time to time. I traveled with him, many times, and can attest to a lot of it (I'm a wuss. I'll always get a hotel room, and insist on a night of rest).
It was the life he chose. I suspect that he leveraged the extreme. It did get him a Corporate VP seat, after all (and the fact that he's one of the smartest bastards I'd ever met). I don't know if the office would have been much less stress. Japanese work culture is pretty intense.
