It's sort of the same concept here, but usually your superiors get off at around 7-8 PM so it's less about staying to midnight to keep up with them and more about being there "just in case" someone is there late and sees you not there. Presentation department: graphics people who do all the formatting and gruntwork for your presentations like formatting charts, making pretty graphics, etc. But yeah it's essentially human-like robots :) Yeah I’m familiar with Japanese face time as well.
