Guys, Japan is the country of "power harassment", where the boss can think himself as a demigod and harass his employees has he wants. It's "normal" here to be insulted by one's boss... And I'm not even talking about sexual harassment or "pregnancy harassment" (I discovered this one lately, it's incredible). I don't think they will do anything, and if they do it would be very hypocritical. They could very well laugh and say "Russians still have a long way to go before rivaling with us!" ....

Pfft! Japan is paradise compared to Russia. Never saw Satoru Iwata yell at and threaten his staff.

Not in front of cameras, sure, or maybe not Iwata. But I'm working in Japan, and I can tell you, yelling, insulting, threatening people below you is everyday stuff here for a lot of bosses. They even have a lot of very specific and catchy terms to say stuff like power, sexual and pregnancy harassment ("matahara" for this one, classy), or also their "black companies" who hire young white collar workers with the objective of making them work in insane conditions (basically modern slavery, with the insults, harassment and threats) until they die or quit (and if they quit, the company tries to keep them from finding another job). "Death by overwork" is an actual realistic risk for workers here, so no, Japan is not paradise compared to Russia. Impossible. You would have to compare it to historical slavery to call it paradise.
Anyone remembers what Konami did to Kojima? Paradise...
