Yeah, because their hatred for their boss is bringing them together.

I wonder if they put alarms in the bathrooms to help people keep a fast pace

Japan seems to have found their Jack Welch. I pray they (the Japanese) are smarter than the Americans.
I agree with Al, there needs to be a end but I have yet to see any sign of it on this side of the Pacific.
Could he be covering up for a problem at home? His wife must be very unhappy.

i imagine its no worse than any other japanese buisness though. i think its part of the reason japan has a high suicide rate. its just stressful to work there.

Look at the upside – really cool uniforms, choose your own foot ware, lots of natural light, no fat guys, no fat chicks, meth in the vending machine, company dominates the one legged sack race at corporate retreats, everyday is silly walk day, on casual Fridays you’re allowed to saunter. What’s not to like?

It is better than in was in the 1950s.
Back then slackers were locked up in tiny cages on the roof of the plant and prodded with bamboo sticks for hours on end.
Very cruel.

I love Canon's cameras and lenses, but holy crap is this stupid. I'm just hoping it doesn't backfire in a big enough way to hurt their ability to keep improving their products. Some of their newer items (5D Mk II, 17mm TS-E) really have my excited...
Seems this was in the news a few weeks back.

That seems a bit much even for Japan.

"The big boss, as a reward for thinking up all this stuff, gets to lounge in a nice, relaxing chair."
Yes, because the big boss becomes the big boss and maintains his status and his multibillion dollar company by sitting around in a lounge chair.
So typical of Tall Poppy syndrome - and there's not much that annoys me more than that - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome
"Oh the big mean boss - how did he get to be the boss of the company, all he does is sit in his chair all day and think of ways to torture people for no reason - he probably ever hasn't had to work in his life and and he gets paid H3APZ for being lAzY LOL!11"
I'd be willing to bet it's all taken out of context. For instance the sign at the front probably actually reads "time is of the essence - to be ahead of time ensures the companies survival!"

The sign on the floor reads:
Let's rush, or else the factory and the planet will be finished/ruined.

Totally. I'll help out by opening up easy donation services for everyone's old Canon gear. I'll take it off everyone's hands no charge.

Haha, okay you win.
Still, I'm sure that it's not as bad as it sounds.
