In japan it often seems as though employee satisfaction is nowhere on the list of things necessary for a company to be prosperous.

Tech companies? Where's Apple?

lol. It's not even in the top 100. (i googled the list, it's on Fortunes website) Apple isn't very "multinational" in reality. All of it is based in California and all of their products are made in China. They just do a good job at making their customers THINK they are multinational.

Tachibana Takashi thinks "Ashimo" stupid and absurd and warned of Japan being a robotic (the none-human-look-alike) backwater if the government does not do something. If people listened to him then (10 years ago?), Japan could have been automatically churning out most of the parts for those manufacturers and must have saved those 12-year-olds from such atrocious exploitation. (Many US firms are moving out of China because of such robots).
