Thread regarding Canon Inc. layoffs

@mr That term has cropped up a lot likely by multiple people. Bottom line: the anger towards management is real and valid. That’s the key takeaway here, but this board has seen a very few outliers or paid bots defending how employees are treated like trash. Management deserves the tar and feathering from folks who have been shafted.

@bt a cactus comment again this has to be the same person

@f5 Highly doubtful it will ever happen and besides, trying to contain the rage people have about the company can’t be contained. Probably better off just posting here so the world knows the truth about this company.

The next time management comes in for a visit, instead of ushering them into a conference room for a few hours, they should put them in the town hall room. Then, each employee will have three minutes on the clock, without interruption, to tell them directly to their faces how they feel about everything. The rules: no cursing, no screaming, no name calling/harassment. If there’s approximately 300 people, then they could probably get this done within 2 full office days: 480 minutes per work day * 2 = 960 minutes. This allows everyone to vent. They will be forced to endure two full days of nonstop criticism which they are typically shielded from. Nothing will be resolved, but at least everyone will get an opportunity to say what needs to be said.

@dj Given the toxic working conditions, there's no humor with this satire because it reflects the reality of the C-suite mentality. The poster laid an egg.

@a1 And no one would purchase ANY Canon products. They would be finished

@bv And you are a waste of human flesh

Ugh I'm in Burlington and its been really nice saving $40 a week on gas. Dreading going back next week. Hoping the infestation is not fixed. Fingers crossed!!!

@bv i think this is just satire and not a J-p

We just need to go back to 2 days a week. I've adapted to the Mondays being harsh with working at home Tuesday giving me the recovery to deal with a full day on Wednesday. I happen to be more productive in my private home office where phone calls, training, and listening to these trainings on a mini-speaker are more productive then having my college sitting next to me in the office on the same call wasting bandwidth on Google. Plus my internet isn't restricted.

@bv being this blatantly racist in 2026 is certainly a choice.

You Americans very lazy. In Japan on Sundays, we get work done,
not scream “TOUCHDOWN” at TV screen. We no drive big SUV, we take quiet subway into city. We no commute back and forth in Tokyo. We go to Net Cafe to continue work and get small snack late at night, then take nap before we go back to office. We already there in town, very efficient! Business world run 24/7, you need to capitalize on every hour, minute, second! We no Ike waste in Japan! They call me the Jackie Chan of Lean Six Sigma because I black belt expert.

@bg Soundz like you enjoy riding a cactus to work every day.

All of this is true, but they don’t care. If they could get rid of all of us tomorrow for the vendor pool and contractors in the Philippines, they would. The ONLY reason they don’t do that is because it would be public, WARN notices would have to go out, and the stock would tank. But agreed that if there was even one spec of human decency left in their tiny black hearts they would do something for the people who actually work for this company.
