Thread regarding Canon Inc. layoffs

@15d Agreed. They are bloodthirsty monsters. No better way to describe the way they operate. All that can be done is just do the bare minimum and don’t give them extra. They don’t care at all, except our place on a spreadsheet row. If Canon USA wants to achieve profitability, they need to take a hard look at the overhead with bloated management. The org chart I am sure is full of managers that add no value to the company.

@13y of course management and their cronies are sharks. better question is why we are all acting like chum watching them pick us off one by one and immiserating everyone until they quit or eaten alive?
getting really tired watching my friends and coworkers get backstabbed by these blood thirsty monsters.

@13h Or know enough to avoid the people mentioned in the post. Personally I think the point is Canon management are sharks who devour people and sharks think the same way.

@z0 I guess even sharks have good taste.

Why don't sharks eat CEOs, C-suiters and middle management? Answer: professional courtesy.

Canon is a greedy Japanese company who don’t care about American employees. They set a culture that makes you believe they are losing money so they can make cuts, save money, and force the employees left behind to pick up the slack.

All you need to do is look at our CEO’s latest communication. He praises Canada and South America while using the tariff as an excuse.

To my fellow American Canon employees, don’t work too hard. Canon USA deserves everything they get back from you in return because they are the one’s who created this culture.

Our CEO hasn’t said anything positive about our country since he was given the position.

@jy Then the C-suite is up against more quiet quitting. If they want to be cut throat, then expect a response in kind by employees. Don’t think potential and existing customers don’t read about the bloodsucking going on. Their spreadsheets will only get worse the rate they are going and the Google fiasco is just that. A fiasco.

He’s still crying about tariffs in the monthly newsletter. He’s complaining about inflation as well, but doesn’t care about the effects of inflation on employees. This recent boost in Q3 results is fool’s gold, and he will only get greedier and more flamboyant and brazen in the coming months. A full RTO is still on the table. The rush to full Google conversion is accelerating by the week. Expect more jobs to be shipped offshore as well, what we have seen so far is only a trial run. Once they see the cost savings on the income statement, they will only become more emboldened to do more of it. They do not care about the quality of the work, despite all of the Google Slides that embellish accomplishments. It’s a cut throat environment. Reduce costs is the name of the game. You? You’re just an expense that they must eliminate, somehow, someway. The truth is brutal, but you must understand what you are up against.

@a5 Saddle up on a cactus.

Reduced raises for employees, raised prices for customers, no change to either after $109 million tariff refund. Yeah… that tracks. I’m sure the c-suite bonuses will be fat this year while the rest of us watch health insurance and grocery bills skyrocket.

Yes we so grateful for refund. Thank you Canon. We lucky to work at best company in world. Thank you.
