Saw this over on Gaf

Kazuo Hirai, president and CEO of Sony promoted to vice president (chief executive) was determined by a date in April. Voice of resignation from part of the house, and a "large-scale restructuring of the manufacturing sector as determined by this" comes through.  Decline of just covering your eyes for the first time Sony in recent years, has become a "dogma" is now the ringleader view that the management of Mr. Howard Stringer, the route was strengthened with devotion software, and network business. To Mr. Hirai was promoted as the right arm barrel mastermind of Mr. Stringer, the total "disregard route manufacturing", "hostility" in-house technical staff is not extraordinary. Truncation at the end of downplayed the technology in-house, was weakened to a disastrous development system. No wonder the view prevails that with the "default route" no longer large-scale restructuring by the inauguration of Mr. Hirai top of that this time, the next in-house. In fact, Mr. Hirai, promoted from the second half of last year when he was modest, in-house Sony says that it has spurred have to "prepare the way" for the restructuring. It also say it's because to mobilize to "ultimate weapon" that the industrial physician, and a very insidious thing was over, I'm surprised. ● restructuring use both the front and back  , Sony has implemented recruitment into early retirement age often two thousand. Starting with the early retirement of the year 〇 three embarked on structural reforms, in the spring of 〇 nine after the Lehman shock nine about a hundred, in the recruitment early retirement in the autumn of ten is fifty-four additional amount up to the age of fifty-four from forty presents a favorable month-minute, about four hundred employees who have been restructuring.  If the story up to this point, is not terribly surprising. Sony is not known to the public in the form, he continues to carry out a restructuring that on a daily basis but still. If downsizing and restructuring of the table was issued a voluntary early retirement program, this is a restructuring of the back, so to speak.  The basis of Sony's Human Resources Department, has made ​​the list of employees and human resources required in the evaluation of each department gather. Employees face the mental and physical problems and low performers not to force, that is, employees who handle nuisance of each department - these people, that reaches several hundred times. It fed their employees room "career development" under the direct control of the personnel department, "said restructuring room" in the company. Letter abbreviation with, "SK" "HS" "SYK" "SYS" "SYT" "TS" is attached to them. Means "simple tasks" TS = "conversion job candidate SYT =" "candidate seconded outside" SYS = "leave house SYK =" "general affairs secretary candidate" HS = "re-education candidates SK =". Different rank etc., which is restructuring all subjects.  Career development in the laboratory work will be aggregated into the following main three. 1, to find your own work of internal and external. 2, to concentrate on (skill-up) self-development. 3, have a free time to support the other departments.  Management pushes it to the room there is a subordinate career development, says the reality. To be seen and 2. A synonym for "1" I quit soon ", 2" and "Why play received salary and retirement preparation, people take the initiative does not. But flock to the 3 Most of the time, it is PDF earnestly to work over the class data accumulated in the house, is a part-time job is to do simple tasks. "  "Capacity" of career development is room to increase or decrease depending on the business plan in line with the results, eleven years was the average throughout the year about two hundred. Isuwari recent years has increased in the aftermath of the recession, restructuring is also to say that reality much room, but there is a limit to accommodate. "Career Development Office, for handling the subject quickly restructuring" is a "left luggage office, unless the subject kicked out soon stay, must be placed to make a room full of capacity. Always accept the new human resources (An official close to the personnel department) is also tight pressure from the company. "  Eleven year Sony has also been found to be a financial deficit of two hundred and twenty billion yen. If you proceed to the dismantling of the electronics business, it comes out a lot of further redundancies are inevitable. Sony to organize the career development of foot room and impatience began to "no time", the technique came here, it can be said as "foul" have appeared. Is "an industrial physician." ● attachment to the "SONY" lost "It is changing the environment is the most"  recently, he said words to the audience for in-house restructuring, Sony, has frequently been issued from the mouth of the industrial physician. Originally, the role of industrial physician is to be returned to the scene or how the employees have been burdened Dari and problems with mental ill employees. However, the case of Sony, unlike the situation comes.  Or leave of absence. Only get worse in recent years, management of the electronics business of one performance is worse, if you will meet with industrial physician subordinates have a problem in terms of "mental, and stay on the Sony, change the environment Tenshoku ( I was told seems to be pointed out, to heal you) better. So, if you query to officers on the, "and has obtained the cooperation of industrial physician" ".  An official close to the personnel department of the previously mentioned, this way reveal the lowdown. "You do not only get a mental set is necessarily also Isuwari doing the work by the home stretch of collective training room clean-up and restructuring. After himself and can not even conscious, early retirement of regular recruitment." New weapon that I got an industrial physician, such as mental hospitals and clinics outside the specified Sony.  Another official close to the human resources department, if you work the impact of the Human Resources Department many parts of "partial mental do not even know the person, not uncommon to get lost in the diagnosis even industrial physician. In there, switch to the advice recommend the retirement divulge it as "easy. Also subject to direct water to the boss to know the policy of restructuring the Human Resources Department, "Recently, when I got to look at any industrial physician or clinical psychologist. I not good complexion," and that it planned to speak. If there is a "criminal record" that leave the past in the treatment of mental, first return to the previous job is difficult. Becomes "mandatory retirement" along with the provisions over a period of time if you leave.  Inside Sony has lost afford the salary to work chores in the room restructuring, the goal of the number of job cuts periodic erected, personnel restructuring that has also given (achievement rate) goal必達. At that time also need to be decoration called "voluntary retirement in the making." The presence of industrial physician is a translation has become a powerful weapon for Sony personnel.  Sony has come up in November last year to reform the structure of the electronics business with a view to a new restructuring. It was announced that none other than Mr. Hirai. In part, there is speculation of restructuring of the unit and will be conducted one thousand people around the business of electronic devices such as semiconductors and unprofitable TV business. Have been told to plausibly among those involved with three hundred men, goals and narrow down to less than two hundred persons capacity of room career development to spring up, the subjects restructuring potential of the current also called five hundred men. On the other hand Sony is widely known in the nascent New President, insidious corporate restructuring that is now rampant, "savage atmosphere has been ruled" that the (official Sony). Attachment to the "SONY" was spoken with a longing glorious past, as well as customers, are going to be lost from the house.
