It really speaks volumes about the situation at Canon when some people are more afraid of keeping their jobs than losing them. For many, the biggest fear is not being laid off, but staying on the job, stuck in an environment that's stressful... — read more 

Canon is a broken system!!

I can speak freely since I was let go a couple of months ago. So here is the way it works at Canon USA. They quickly elevate and promote all Japanese expats who are extremely unqualified into all the leadership roles and have the Americans report... — read more

Future for CSA employees?

I still have no clue if I will still be employed at year-end. Nobody has come out to reassure us remaining employees of anything, which is downright terrifying. You would think that real leaders would COMMUNICATE, re-build trust and try to move... — read more

Kobayashi: Very Unlikeable

When you watch the All Company Meeting, the tyrant CEO of CUSA comes off as very cold, insincere, unrelatable, and non-charismatic. You feel as if he’s talking down to you. He reminds me of several snotty Asian professors I had in graduate school. I... — read more

Merger Announcement = WARN Notice?

I’m wondering if the CSA & CUSA merger email is a veiled “WARN Notice” for CSA employees. Canon is so corrupt and would never flat out tell people that they will be laid off directly. They use these long-winded, flowery memos that leave people more... — read more
