Posted in: 1,000 Nissan employees in Thailand to be let go or relocated See in context
I’ve got an appointment this Monday for a test drive. I’ve been avoiding them because of their issues with their CVTs but their last X-Trail model has been catching my eye. I’m more concerned about the quality of their product. Although I may get a good discount because of this news?

Posted in: Sony to release PlayStation 5 Pro on November 7 See in context
I’m just a regular consumer, but releasing this console offering nothing special, 50% more expensive than its previous model (latter underwent an increase of 20% some days ago btw) with very few games getting the best of the base model and the cherry on top is having to pay extra for the disc drive and the base? I think I’d skip this.

The problem is not about having more or less hours, it’s the corporate mindset. What’s the point of the company ‘offering’ alternatives if the employees are still staying until late so they can compensate their poor base rate with overtime? If the junior employees must stay until manager or senpai leaves? If time is wasted in useless meetings and cigarette/coffee breaks? And it seems the government forgot the ‘success’ of that last Friday of the month thing.
different thing is if shacho stands in front of everyone, offers a decent salary rate and tells everyone: “if work is done, regardless your position, you’re free to go and do whatever you want, and please report any harassment to this email and actions will be taken”

Companies employing such foreign workers need to treat them equally to Japanese citizens in terms of pay, the outline showed.
Haha, that’s cute. So that means that regular Japanese workers are treated like those poor Filipino or Vietnamese ladies working 12-14 hours 7 days a week having their passport taken?
