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.

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.'

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.

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?

>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.

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.

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.

How does the timing of that make any sense to you? The guy he was with made him rear end a truck, trusting that it wouldn't be serious enough to kill him as a passenger, but it would be serious enough for Yokoi to exit the car at exactly the right time for some random tourism employee who's also apparently a paid yakuza hitman and skilled stunt driver to hit him? That makes more sense to you than someone accidentally hitting a random dude walking on the narrow highway shoulder at night? If he "killed himself" I wouldn't have trouble believing it and I don't doubt nintendo has yakuza connections, but as it is it would've been a wildly unreliable murder method.

Thats not even the worst part: ex-Konami employees can't even get Health insurances because the chairman of the council who permits health insurances is also the CEO of Konami.

Include it in some employee contract.
If they refuse to sign then they don't get hired/lose their job or are harassed until they quit.
Not everyone is fully competent in contract reading or fully understanding of the potential consequences when they're just starting out in whatever industry.

You can actually see it pretty often in many industries where someone resents their parent company over what they think are unfair terms and seek to leave as soon as they can. They sometimes get in trouble for secretly working on the project they get hired by the new company for while still under contract with the old company like what happened with those brats dolls.

Alternatively, the company could just harass them if they try to use their name, lying to and threatening potential employers.
>>
>take it to court

So what? What stops these people from going to court and raping the company's asshole?

If it's actually illegal to list employment in your CV then your country is pretty much a non-country
>>
>>380728997
It works in fields that people are actually passionate about. Video games, comics, movies, stuff that people grow up wanting to make and put their heart and soul into, and the company gladly sucks that heart and soul right out to grind and rebrand for a thin coating on some executive mismanaged piece of shit and replace with only resentment.

Not sure about the US but pretty much in all European countries that shit is illegal and goes against the constitution laws. Once your contract is done, you should not be held liable to the company you used to work in anymore.

Not sure about Japan's law but I doubt Konami has real way of even winning that kind of lawsuit. But the damage is already done, they can't use Konami as a recommending employer anyway.
>>
>>380728937
The thing is that they can drag the case on with all kinds of bureaucratic bullshit, delays, changes in arguments.

Courts move slow anon, and in the mean time you have to pay an expensive lawyer to argue your case in a fool proof way (because technicalities can and will fuck you over completely) and paying the court for various resources (turns out the legal system is a business too). And while the costs pile up and time drags you're paralyzed in legal limbo, wondering whether your projects will ever move forward. And the entire time a massive dark cloud hangs over your head, because if you lose you'll be taken for everything you're worth and then some.

And if you win there's still a good chance your legal fees won't be recouped. So you just spent months, if not years of your life, and a small fortune, just to be where you were before the lawsuit took place.

The entire justice system is set up to discourage those who don't have the resources to dispute lawsuits indefinitely. Because indefinite lawsuits are what make the courts the big money. This is almost universal. Most lawsuits aren't about who's right, but about who can last the longest. Peasants don't last very long.

>>380758161
It varies by area but there are definitely non-competition clauses in contracts that can prevent people from working in their field for some arbitrary length or in a certain area/market and we have plenty of voices cheering that we should be more business friendly like asia instead of wasting time with oversensitive liberal employee rights bs.

Threatening potential employers may be illegal but only if you can prove it.

You have to sit it out and cough up the money first before you can get those legal fees repaid. And there's no guarantee it'll happen. You might have to sue separately just for that.

>What shitty country do you live in

Original anon here, I'm white.
People, in general, can just be manipulated to work against their own interests especially in the name of fighting against some "other".

Being so in denial that the group you belong to is somehow the sole magical exception, all contrary evidence and history be damned, just comes off as try-hard and sad.

I mean whether you're on the political left or right you should be able to admit that white people can be manipulated whether it's poor dumb white trash supporting the rich to their own detriment or pampered retarded sjws manipulated by any number or social and political agendas.

>just about all big ones except Nintendo are)
Nintendo literally started making dosh because they were the main provider of cards for illegal gambling houses.

>>380762443
And this brings it back to the initial point you tried to distract from.
You whined that white people are the sole exception to people being able to be manipulated to work against their interests.
I pointed out that regardless of where you are on the political spectrum you are you probably, in-fact, think that some of "the others" are idiots being manipulated into voting against their interests over petty bullshit.

Now you're whining about sjws voting based on bullshit. If you can't see the point and how you yourself are supporting it then you really are just in denial.

I mean going back to your very first post you claimed that western whites "wouldn't stand" for worker abusive practices like in asia yet china is constantly held up by republicans and "fiscal democrats" as the model we need to look towards to be more "buisness friendly" and economically competitive.
Other anons pointed out how walmart fucks with their employees and >>380758161 was in disbelief that some non-competition clause stuff could be allowed as legal.
>>
>>380763532
>You whined that white people are the sole exception to people being able to be manipulated to work against their interests.
No I just said they wouldn't stand for what goes on in Asia's workplace. Then you claimed white people could be manipulated into voting based on hot-button issues over complex and multifaceted issues as if that delegitimizes the hot button issues or invalidates their vote/concerns.

The fact that recently, minority groups of SJWs are voting purely based on non-issues and have been manipulated into caring more about "the other" than shit that's actually important doesn't really mean anything, walmart, a single company doing something doesn't really mean anything. If it were happening all over the west like it is in Asia you'd have a point, but the reality is it's mostly just outliers and that people would probably not stand for those kinds of conditions.

My claim is that ANYONE can be manipulated into working aginst their own interests.
You're the one protesting that western whites are some magic exception.
>walmart, a single company doing something doesn't really mean anything
But konami, a single company doing something, does? If you read the thread you'd see people talking about how these practices stand out among other japanese companies although some use lesser but similar tactics.
We in the west likewise use and accept practices like non-competition clauses that are similar in nature and seem unfair and unbelievable to others and as I keep saying and you have ignored, politicians and business leaders hold up asia as a model of what needs to be done to improve business including looser regulations on the employer/employee relationship.

>he doesn't know how grorious Nippon court system works
You bascially hape to prove yourself you aren't guilty. For that you need a lawyer and in Japan you won't get a defender, let alone will he win a case for you. Courts don't even want to really read through all this shit, they just prove guilty left and right, that's why they have such a high case solving rate. You are easier off just seppuk'ing yourself than actually attending for defence.

Oh yes, would definetely help that employer branding. For people with degrees, working conditions are actually important and they don't sign up shitty contracts like those. Desperate trash in need for job to not get fucked by ministry of finance and employment perhaps, but not actually qualified staff.

I had a 2 years employment or 20000€ contract with my previous employer, but it was due to him paying my complete university costs. It was just easier to stay for two years.
