Hey guys, I'm all for jumping on the "fuck Konami" bandwagon, but most of that stuff sounds really normal.
• Computers have no internet access
So the devs can only use them for work-related things... okay? What's wrong with that?
• Employees have to clock out for lunch, are punished for being late
This is the most normal thing ever. Publicly (within the company) revealing the names of those who are late as some kind of shaming is a bit odd but not exactly uncalled for. Hey there's an easy way to avoid that, get your ass back to work on time like you're being paid to do.
• Cameras in corridors
Lots of companies use cameras to monitor their employees, especially companies with valuable equipment in the work environment. I don't exactly know what putting them in corridors tells Konami, but it sounds really inoffensive to me.
• Randomized email addresses
So? Why is this a problem?
• Konami monitors Facebook
Are we really still surprised in 2015 that people can't talk openly about their employers on social media? This issue is so 2011.
The direction of Konami (leaning more towards mobile games) and the budget of MGSV have nothing to do with the rest of it, so the only thing that stands out as weird is just randomly assigning developers to cleaning duty. Everything else is completely regular.

It's like you're stuck before the universal declaration of human rights or something. That's human dignity, not to be subjected to humiliation, objectification, degradation, dehumanization etc.
It's fairly sad and a bit revolting, really, to obtain a law's degree only to find people who think and say stuff like "oh, no one asked him to take that job, yadda yadda".
