Yeah, if one person is fired from the company the default thought in Japan is that person must have done something very wrong to even get to that place, as it's quite rare for fulltime salaried employees.

If a group of people are laid off, in Japanese culture that reflects very poorly on the company, suggesting that management was irresponsible to lead the company into this situation.

I mean, that's the actual truth. All these tech layoffs are just happening because Executive Leadership Teams copy each other. A few years ago they were all hiring at the same time too.

You should hire when others are firing so you get the best employees. You should hold off on hiring when everyone else is hiring, so you don't overpay. It's pretty simple.

Exactly. We need better laws here in the states. My company has had three layoffs and another is around the corner, in just two years. Yet, they keep acquiring other companies.

We need better laws, but we also really, really need to start enforcing the antitrust laws we already have again.
