Shouldn't be a surprise, but budget cuts were mentioned.

It’s clear that if you work for WTS you have been lied to. The idea that they want to grow the company with you, WTS, couldn’t be farther from the truth. The truth is all of the money and investments from CUSA are in the PPS and Enterprise... — read more 

The micromanaging is getting on my last nerve, (not figuratively speaking). I’m so fed up and frustrated. How do I manage and train my brain make micromanaging a growth experience. It’s literally making me less efficient, and it’s making me worry... — read more 

Is HR making us sit through this malarkey because of all the hostility on this website p? I’d rather be forced to watch those corny Skillsoft videos on Canon Learn with the lame amateur actors. “Billy Bob, you looked at me the wrong way in the break... — read more

I can’t believe that they are actually going through with this. Why doesn’t operations know about what processes and systems are in place that use Microsoft and they put those things in place for those users/departments? Why is IT going through this... — read more 

When I get home on office days, I have to take aspirin and lay down before eating dinner because I have so much tension from all of the sensory overload I have to deal with. Some days, I am out cold until 11:00 - 11:30PM. By then, I don’t feel up to... — read more

Just a random thought since Burlington is now back at the office after the infestation... Did anyone notice the flag at the entrance is at half mast? Just curious as to why...?

This is still one of the better places to work. Yes, there are issues, but some of you can't see the forest for the trees. With everything happening in the world, I'm willing to overlook a lot for good pay and benefits, and I still get that here.

Likely a pointless long-shot here, but it has to be said. It’s time for the senior leadership in this company to allow those who can to return to fully remote work. Between the enormous increase in health insurance premiums this year, a reemerging... — read more 

I keep hearing that “in the old days” it was not like this. It has me questioning whether this is the right company to grow my career with. It seems like everything is a struggle these days. I am interested to hear from those people who have... — read more

I have credible knowledge from 2 hire ups that MO will be retiring (or forced out) before the end of the year. I have 2 words to this new: THANK GOODNESS If anyone has any knowledge on his planned replacement please share.

LMAO..WFH for the next three weeks! How pathetic is it that Canon provides these slum-like conditions? So embarrassing for a company of their size.

They want to hire a “confident attorney” to be the enemy of the employees. Yep, they aren’t kidding when they say they hate us. Instead of hiring for an “Employee Advocate”, they want another yes-man who will protect corrupt... — read more

What has happened to professional communication at Canon USA? Lately, I have noticed emails with no greeting, no “please,” no “thank you,” and little consideration for tone. Some messages to vendors come across as rude or condescending, while... — read more 

The C-suite/upper management obviously hasn't cared about their employees for many years. One would think they should care, at least a little bit, about work actually getting done so their departments can be profitable. Nope, those parasites only... — read more

Has anyone heard anything about all Latin America Division now being managed out of Canon Mexico under Andy Ikeda? They made him President of Mexico, Chile and Panama. And one director said that LAD has less than 1 year left.

What are your concerns? What do you see in the future for Canon? Do you think there will be layoffs coming?

For those that don't know, CUSA is surrounded by woods and open space. The area has lots of wildlife. Fox, geese, and others. All those working there have never had issues with this. Wildlife happens. Enter CFS. Decoy coyotes are now ALL OVER the... — read more

The leader of the largest division of Canon USA has tunnel vision and is simply focused on spreadsheets and not the real problems that trouble WTS. If you want to other people to help sales out start off by looking in the mirror. What have you... — read more
