I’m hearing that Canon did not get the self service machine contract for FedEx? Konica got it. Can anyone confirm that? Canon has held on to that for decades. Around 4,000 machines.

It's that time again where everyone waits on pins and needles for the one on one to see how their raises are gonna be.. Have you done the work of many people? Yes.. Have you gone above and beyond all year? Yes.. Will you get the bare minimum for the... — read more 

I just got confirmation that Canon executives have been removing posts. They don’t like the negative PR and talk about unionization.

Honestly, I think Sammy and his buddies intentionally set the company up for failure. Since he has taken control on January 1, 2024, the company has been, as Tom Petty would say, “Free Fallin’”. Sure, the decline started before then, but things have... — read more 

I cannot tell you how big the layoff round will be, but I can tell you the breakdown ratio of Americans that get laid off versus expats that get laid off. Japanese expat layoffs - 0% Americans laid off - 100% Sounds fair right? Especially... — read more 

I’m hearing rumors that the month of February 2025 we did record numbers that haven’t been seen in years and we far surpassed budget by almost 10%! Can anyone confirm if there is any validity to this? Just wondering if I need to start looking for a... — read more 

I’ve noticed several people no longer around suddenly. Were there smaller rounds of terminations or are people just leaving? At a big company when people leave, you usually don’t know about it until later on and you think “what ever happened to that... — read more 

Still trying to figure out what this guy actually does on a daily basis other than flying around the country for photo-ops in the company newsletter. Not transparent at all. Does he hide in his Melville executive suite all day? Does he even come in... — read more 

THESE POSTS ARE ALMOST AS BAD AS WATCHING THE VIEW ON TELEVISION….As I read through many posts and the ridiculous feedback responses, I quickly realized that many ASSUME and throw stuff against the wall, hoping to figure out the next big move. Many... — read more 

Are there any current leaders who stand out to you the most? Let's try to bring some positivity to these posts.

Welp, the results haven’t paid off yet from the crazy cat lady psychologist talking to us about changes. Ge-z, Pete, you could have just played “Changes” by David Bowie during that uninspiring Town Hall and saved the company from paying the speaker... — read more 

Did anyone see this new golf swing analyzer product we launched on Indiegogo? Doesn’t 100 different versions of this product exist already? Why are we doing this I’m not understanding. Also has anyone verified if it works at all, works better than... — read more 

What’s happening to this company? Francis is now leaving, the leadership of a productive, producing sales division. One that made it budget year after year. This is not a good for Canon, it’s heartbreaking to see all the work accomplished is now, for... — read more

I'm sure alot of us are thankful to be off of work today, however prob not thrilled knowing it's still 3 days this week in the office.. Whoever may read this and thinks "Here goes another employee being ungrateful again" it's not about being... — read more 

I’m now hearing from my friend in HR that we’re most likely moving to a full 5 days per week in office starting in 2026. Ugh!

The company appreciates their employees so much our reviews are past due! Not that they mean anything because overall is not based on your actual performance it’s based on dept. pet for that year! I love when told, “I have no complaints, you do a... — read more 

Like mentioned in previous posts the morale has left the building and what is left are disgruntled, miserable and disillusioned workers that once gave it their all and now couldn’t care less! The quickly taken down post by management yesterday pretty... — read more 

The writing is on the wall, and employees see it clearer than ever—Canon is not the company it once was. Morale is at an all-time low. Layoffs happened, workloads increased, and what did leadership do? Nothing to improve employee well-being... — read more 

What Christmas bonus?

It's been a while since July, the recent merger.
