Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo of Russia CEO Is A Jerk

I guess a lot of people here have never had a boss that blamed other people for their own incompetence and lack of leadership skills? Employees that screw up should be reprimanded and given advice on how to improve, not be berated to serve someone else's ego. If he's the CEO of the company he should be more concerned with figuring out how to make it work than berating everyone else around him. Pretty unprofessional.

Also, changed the wording of the title. As per the forum rules, thread titles should not include inappropriate or foul language.

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!" .... 



Russians don't do political correctness. They teach you to swear like a sailor by age 8.



Comes with the territory when you are in Russia /s

I remember though, you have a bias against Russia in general if memory serves me right

For a company that has a tight control on their reputation, Nintendo are taking their time to respond to the situation. Reports starting surfacing in the internet 3 days ago. 

"We are aware of a video uploaded to YouTube recently in which Nintendo Russia’s General Manager, Yasha Haddaji, is seen losing his temper during an altercation with an external vendor in charge of a Mario Kart livestream. Mr Haddaji’s conduct and choice of words are most certainly not in line with our company values.

We are also aware of further allegations that have appeared in the wake of this video and are now running a thorough investigation. We take these matters extremely seriously and will not comment further while we are running our investigation."

Glad to see Nintendo isn't doing a knee jerk reaction like every other company these days when some video pops up showing something.

Was reading about this manager who was fired from Chipotle for not making a group of black guys food until they paid for it first due to risk of what she saw as dine and dashers. Of the guys video recorded it, she got fired immediately. Then later the guys old tweets are found and you can see that he is a serial dine and dasher and tweets about doing it all the time. She now again has he job back I believe.

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

If you don't think that managers at a corporate Japanese companies haven't yelled at their employees, you are surely more naive than I thought.

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...

At least they wouldn't have sent gay employees to Chechnya where they'd be put in death camps.

Come on. There are no gays in Japan! I mean, just like there are no homeless people in Japan... It's the official version. They're not sent to camps, everyone just pretends they don't exist, and they better not remind others that they do. They're not even at the "let's fight for our rights" phase, but still at the "let's stay in the closet all our life because society considers it abnormal". I even had "funny" conversations with Japanese people who just barely understood what homosexuality was and why it was a subject in other countries... Less violent maybe, not more advanced or humanist. 



Perhaps that is a common way to communicate over there?

So still better than Russia. :)

Not really, since you're really exaggerating the situation in Russia. You hate Russia, don't you?

 

You even changed the subject to try to find one aspect where you can say your "Russia is worse", because you were disappointed about the fact that it wasn't the case on the original subject...
