Ex-Konami employees can't put their years of experience with the company on their resumes or Konami will sue

Ex-Konami employees can't put their years of experience with the company on their resumes or Konami will sue.

Also,

>Konami's authoritarian approach is notorious in the industry. Employees are not allowed to have their own corporate email address. When they have to communicate with outside parties, they are given an address consisting of five random numbers and letters, and the address is terminated within a few months. Lunch breaks have strict time limits, and timecards are used to record how long they take. The names of those who go over the time limit are made public throughout the company.

>Employees' social media activities are also monitored. In 2014, Konami workers who liked a Facebook post by an ex-Kon saying he started working for a different company were shuffled to different positions.

Thats what almost all JP companies do.
Its considered treason to leave your company and you are considered someone with no honor that is not trustworthy if you do it.

Based.

Op probably steals games and does illegal weed.

All companies should do this though.

Are Japanese employers so dumb that when they see missing time on someone's CV they don't think 'this man must be a dishonourable job-switcher trying to hide his previous employment' and instead think 'well that seems perfectly normal to have a huge gap there, makes sense to me, no point even bringing it up during the interview or anything.'

go away konami

Remember in old jap games the credits would be gibberish? That's because Japanese companies would literally keep their employees secret to the extent they weren't even allowed credit for the games they made.

It's not Konami corporate culture we are seeing here, it's Japanese corporate culture. That country is fucking shit.

Fuck off communist scum

I guess this is one of the reasons why JP project leads stamp their name over everything to do with the games they are releasing.

>employees working for a company belong to said company and don't deserve work if they change to a different company

Oy vey, I wonder who could be behind this post

>you're literally a communist if you don't support abusive corporate practices

>Ex-Konami employees can't put their years of experience with the company on their resumes or Konami will sue
how could this in any way even go through, sounds like bullshit
>so user what happend between these years here, were you unemployed, a neet?

As much as I love Jap games, that country needs some changes with its work ethics.

No, that's ego. Most normal people in the industry understand it's a collaborative process and no single person ever deserves credit for a game. Kojima is just a dick.

More like I'm sick of leftists on this fucking board. Fuck off to plebbit.

I don't see a problem here

Sounds like they're just not giving positive recommendations. Almost as if Kojima Productions was a giant black hole of money.

If this is the job environment in Japan I'm not surprised that there are more neets and such.
Sounds brutal.

...

Don't give him any more (You)s, he gets off on that. Just ignore the corporate shill

Konami did nothing wrong.

>The approach is bringing solid results. Konami is on track to post a record group operating profit of 40 billion yen for the year ending in March 2018. Industry insiders are often in awe of Konami's ability to make games once played on TV screens work on smartphones.

If it works, it works.

haha fuck OFFFFFFFFFFFFF

That is some vile shit right there

It's not japanese culture, salaryman expectations have been dying out and early game companies like Konami are infested with yakuza ties. (just about all big ones except Nintendo are)
Note that Konami is infamous for this bullshit in Japan as well.

you shouldn't want a hugbox

How could you even sue over someone saying they worked for you? It's not like there's a law against that.
This shit doesn't even make sense.

Corporate lawyers find a way
There's a reason they get paid six figures

Is Japanese justice system copied from Burgerland where anyone can sue anyone for any reason, and you're better off just killing yourself on the spot, unless you're able to wage a 10-year war of bureaucracy and burn half a billion dollars on lawyers to prove you were innocent? And then repeat the war to get compensated.

>it was kojima fault

No it isn't. The length Konami goes to are not the norm.

KONAMI DID NOTHING WRONG

>early game companies like Konami are infested with yakuza ties. (just about all big ones except Nintendo are)
LOL
OLO
LOL

Search "Hiroshi Yamauchi Yakuza" and get back to us on that one.

Why does everyone whitewash and lie about Nintendo so much. So fucking much.

Last I checked, Konami was throwing their weight around to prevent Kojima's new studio from getting health insurance and sending C&Ds to him left and right.

Konami seems batshit insane.

How would such a lawsuit even have grounds to win in court?

Doesn't have to. Companies like Konami just bury you in legal fees.

But fucking why? It seems like a lot of effort just to piss people off
How do they profit from this?

So no one leaves

>ensure that any employees who leave are unemployable so they have no choice but to stay with the company
>you now have full control over their work hours and pay
>you also don't have to bother attempting to attract new employees with superior working conditions

Isn't any wonder now why Kojima vacated Japan for America.

What fees, though? What kind of court doesn't just toss this out? I mean even if you literally had no attorney and just showed up, how are they gonna justify punishment for putting your previous work experience in your resume?

God damn I'd kill myself if I worked in Japan.

My job is lax as fuck and I still hate it.

If that's how Japan handles shit it's no wonder Capcom is having a fucking civil war instead of a mass exodus.

Still seems counterproductive to coerce people forcibly to stay rather than creating an environment where they want to stay

>use a slightly strict work regime for optimal revenue
>nu-males bawl their eyes out because they wanted to work on video games instead of having a real job

Konami is based af.

Japanese work culture seems to be pretty close to communism

>All the edgy fags in this thread saying Konami is based
I hope they go under

Side with the obvious villain for replies

It's just shitposting, pay no attention.

>All these commies ITT talking about """unethical business practices""""
surely the market will fix this

Is Konami run by the Yakuza?

if you change something that ingrained in the culture the products would suffer you massive cuck

well yes, konami will go bankrupt eventually, so yeah, market will fix it

I would love to see Kojima's CV, and see if Konami has the guts to "write him a letter"

You have to make sacrifices and compromises to create an environment where employees want to stay. Konami has created a hostile environment where they can exploit their employees any way they want without repercussion. It's disgusting, but it's not going to change unless they are suddenly forced to pay enormous sums of money as compensation by a court.

If it is well known that konami does this kind of bullshit than why didn't they went under ages ago due to not being able to get new employees?

They already did after that MG Survive debacle. Apparently Konami is willing to take him onto court if he says another negative thing about the game.

>it's no wonder Capcom is having a fucking civil war instead of a mass exodus
What's Capcom doing?

t. Konami

I for one support taking all the credit.

Beyond all the controversy and questions of civil liberties and legality you have to ask...

What type of person enacts this type of shit?

This is tragedy of the commons except you also burn 90% of the grass in an attempt to get a market advantage.

How did Treasure and Good Feel even manage to get formed?

They're probably forced to have a lawyer to "defend" themselves.

>willing to take them to court
For what

>What type of person enacts this type of shit?

The kind of person we need to have a good old revolution about to remove them from positions of power while telling future leaders, "It's not okay to do what the last person did."

>What's Capcom doing?

There are claims about a deep split at capcom. Major clashes of ideologies as to how to make games and where to take the company.
There were reports some years ago about the absolutely abysmal working conditions at capcom. Harassment of workers, slavery-like pressure and Ono, I think, even suffered a heart attack. At least he had to go to hospital because of some heart issues.

Combine that with the things we know about the Capcom CEO and the idea that capcom is dying from the inside is more than likely.

Konami won't die anytime soon cause even if they kill off their entire software branch they will still rake in money with their pachinko machines.

Didn't Ono go to the hospital because he collapsed from exhaustion?

all this nonsense in one post

you're so fucking stupid, people will actually take this for granted and repeat it

fuck off from Sup Forums

Explain.

Welcome to the new americana

I wonder who could be behind this post

What the hell is wrong with Konami?
Even for a Nip company they've gone a mile over the usual.

>Your honor, the defendant has committed SHAMEFURU DISPRAY after leaving our company by daring to keep living, causing us to lose face
>NO WAY FUCKING HANG THE BASTARD

Konami was one of the greatest videogame companies of all time,right now they are barely even a shadow of their former self.

Maybe not "run" by it, like the CEO and boardmembers probably aren't, but I would imagine the majority of the share is owned by a yakuza family firm, or by banks that they firm owns, and board members and the CEO have to go to dinner at a Yakuza bosses house occasionally. There's not a bunch of yakuza tough guys in an office making the decisions, but ultimately the company will always serve the interest of the family or families it supports.

Makes sense to me.
GUILTY

>Why does everyone whitewash and lie about Nintendo so much. So fucking much.
Just ask anyone how Gunpei Yokoi died. Nobody will say it was a motor "accident"

You pour money and your own, jealously guarded know-how into your employees you dont want them to lmao go to another company and apply your philosophy

They should have employment contracts for their employees where you have to pay like $500,000 if you quit the company and work for another within 15 years that would solve this issue

Well I guess the takeaway here is don't work for Konami.

Usually they launder money through arcades and sketchy financial records like Bamco does.

Thank fuck you're stuck on Sup Forums and will never surmount to anything with your fucking retarded ideas.

...

Sup Forums retards who have never had a job

>Ex-Konami employees can't put their years of experience with the company on their resumes or Konami will sue.


because koji-pro fags were talking shit about konami. kojima plays innocent but hes been starting just as much shit.

literally neo-feudalism

>because koji-pro fags were talking shit about konami

Apparently rightfully so.

American companies have no unions, give shit tier wages and treat most of their employees like shit. What is so different?

Nothing, they're more interested in their MMO business than say, the main market out there.
If MHW fails, they have Frontier to fall back on. Which means they are free to Frontierfy Anjanath and Jagras as they please.

Thank you blessed phone poster for believing what they want you to believe.

Remember, at this point, he had made the GameBoy line which was the only thing keeping Nintendo afloat after they started hemorrhaging money left, right, and centre with the N64 and Yokoi's failed Virtual Boy. Then, Yokoi decides to leave, go to Bandai, and develop the WonderSwan, which Bandai somehow got Square on-board with to remake their early Famicom Final Fantasy titles on it.

Meanwhile, Yokoi was the big dog when it came to video games at Nintendo. Yamauchi was very hands off when it came to them, and preferred to let Yokoi run the show since he didn't really understand video games. Then one day, Yamauchi suddenly decides he does understand video games, starts undermining Yokoi, rushed his Virtual Boy to launch before it was finished, hints at him to resign over his failures, etc.

Yamauchi having the Yakuza kill Yokoi has been an open secret for years, my dude.

Nobody is trying to point out a difference. Walmart is terrible too.

>except Nintendo
>this delusion

Holy shit
Tamio looks like the only one that actually enjoys video games.
The other three look like villains

Leftists are the ones who don't want to work and support destroying businesses.

Go away with your pol bogeyman.

>Still seems counterproductive
It werks

>revolution
You don't want revolution in Japan.

He is most evil one

How is this even legal?

No, it's not. It was the norm a few decades ago to stay with your company for life, but most modern companies have moved away from that and Konami is extreme no matter how you look at it.

>Capcom Directors
No I'm pretty sure they're all evil, thanks

Does this ever explains why they enjoy raping their franchises?

Yes
They are dicks who enjoy making people miserable.
