Its a Japanese company and older than 20 years, such change takes time when your entire management is in their 60s or older...
That's not an excuse though. If you state publicy as a company that you will make changes, then it's not unreasonable to expect those changes to actually happen.
Japanese society is very old-fashioned, male dominated, hierarchical and “I’m older than you so that means I’m right”. Japan’s cybersecurity minister admitted a couple of years ago that he had never used a computer in his life. While I understand the frustration it is (unfortunately) not surprising that these changes do not happen in a timely fashion.
Then he has never been the victim of a cyber-attack!
This is especially true when it comes to traditional gender roles in the workplace. Women in Japan are often only hired as secretaries or "office ladies" in big companies, basically to shuffle papers and serve tea. Not exactly big decision-making roles. Heck, even making an announcement is likely a big thing in this regard for a Japanese company, if they actually follow through they could really be seen as progressive by Japanese standards.
Yeah but when it comes to corporations saying they'll do things, its almost always just whatever garbage will benefit the company at the time, regardless of the fact they likely will never follow through.
I think the lesson is that you should never believe these statements about the future, the only times major corporations can be honest is if they're reporting something that already happened.
It's not really about believing them or not. It's more just bringing attention to their bs
They said they would do one thing, and haven't followed through. I would call that bullshitting, I just think it's nothing out of the ordinary.
The changes occur in the hiring practices, but when the average time an employee works for a company is as high as it is in Japan you're looking at a decade or so to see the numbers move significantly.
Sorry firing half of the managers wasn't their move? Lol
Man its a society issue, i know a friend that works in Japan, he has a boss that takes pride in rejection of modern technology, that guy believes everything more modern than a Nokia 3310 is shit, unnecessary and i quote his quote "that trend will end soon anyway"
You can only imagine how these people see woman...
