For those that don't know, CUSA is surrounded by woods and open space. The area has lots of wildlife. Fox, geese, and others. All those working there have never had issues with this. Wildlife happens. Enter CFS. Decoy coyotes are now ALL OVER the... — read more 

The countdown is on... Let's see how it's going to be when CFS and Burlington Cusa/CSA are under one crowded roof.. It would be so much easier for Burlington Cusa/CSA to be in office Mon/Tues and CFS keeps their Wed/Thursday this way there isn't such... — read more 

Does Sammy Sun not believe that CFS needs to “collaborate” as much as CUSA? What happened to “One Canon”, “Transform as One”, “Lead as One”, “Grow as One”, etc….Whatever regurgitated slogans they come up with the word one in it. This company is... — read more 

He must closely monitor this site and has the admins on this website on speed dial. Who is he? Let’s use a code name for him moving forward, such as “New Craftsman”. ;) Enjoy Montana, New Craftsman, watch out for the grizzly bears!

The leader of the largest division of Canon USA has tunnel vision and is simply focused on spreadsheets and not the real problems that trouble WTS. If you want to other people to help sales out start off by looking in the mirror. What have you... — read more 

What major news or announcements will drop tomorrow on the 2H call? Will there be a new division or group led by MO? Will MO’ s loyalists be promoted?

Sounds like there has been rolling layoffs through some depts over the last week or two, and we all remember what happened in the week following the 4th in 2024. I don't know what next week holds, but don't forget what we've all done for this... — read more 

Any thoughts on having to download the Jump Cloud app on your personal phone before tomorrow?

Ok, throw out your best guesses…. -_-

Canon makes wonderful copiers, and that is a fact. Canon makes wonderful cameras and that is a fact. But in the past decade, the experimentation with new products to resell is mind-boggling. 1) AMLOS 2) Wh-z vacuum cleaner 3) SupraITS - managed IT... — read more 

OK, we are now three months into this Google, Cr-p! Exactly what it is cr-p! Anybody notice how much longer it takes you to do your job using Google? Gmail is the absolute worst. Drives will drive you nuts.

It's wild how disconnected senior leadership is from the actual day to day. They sit in their meetings looking at spreadsheets and making decisions that have nothing to do with how things operate on the floor. Meanwhile, the people who actually know... — read more 

Being with Canon for so many years, I believe and feel we still have some inspiring leaders, maybe not enough of them, but we have hope with the ones that still hopefully remain in place. I know the site is filled with negativity right now, and I... — read more 

More rifs happened today

There were always cuts, that's part of the business. But I didn't expect the culture to change so completely and so fast. I swear, it became toxic almost overnight. The environment is now completely unrecognizable. It'd almost be fascinating, if it... — read more 

As we approach the midway point in 2026, nervousness is starting to set in for several employees in sales. The narrative across the company is “We are not hitting our numbers.” Remember the numbers we are not hitting are those numbers set by the... — read more 

Did everybody get a kick out of the latest Going Google Newsletter, uh, I mean propaganda rag? Manipulated survey results, laughable fact-checking regarding Chromebooks, forcing everybody to give up Microsoft without anyone really having a say, you... — read more 

GA showed up to the Salt Lake this week while many of the long term team were out of the office. Why were they taking pictures and counting desks? Are they on a mission to shut down the office??? There are now 25+ open seats with 5 remaining... — read more 

I mention something, and I get the cold shoulder immediately. I just want to see if I'm being underpaid.

This morning's memo from SK is effectively confirmation of everything we have been discussing. In corporate communications, an executive letter like this is called a "Pre-Announcement Framework." When a CEO writes a long, weirdly emotional... — read more 

Wait until employees find out that IT was directed to remotely scan ALL laptop computers, looking for any software that could be used to appear the user is active online. Typically used to simulate the mouse is in use, a comprehensive report has... — read more 

They always expect us to be loyal, to give our best, to stay for years and build our careers here. But when it comes time to invest in us, we're just an expense to be minimized. Experienced people get cut or have their raises capped so the company... — read more 

It’s officially time to panic. The company continues down a death spiral. Management is getting desperate. They have no answers, except get rid of people. This will be their revenge tour for the poor survey results.

Canon global is artificially propping up the stock value with huge buybacks at the end of May and throughout June. They did the exact same in the 2 months right before the RIF bloodbath in early July 2024. If CUSA leadership is planning another... — read more 

Weeks ago, they sent out an email stating the results would be provided, but of course, nada to date. This is the hallmark of a very dishonest, disorganized, non-transparent company. This survey was originally distributed last fall? (it was so... — read more 

My manager, who can't stand me for some reason, has been working overtime to find faults with my work, so I'm guessing there's a PIP in my future. In my last company, PIP meant you might as well leave right away. Is it the same here? Should I start... — read more 

No promotions for people who are already here. No balance between work and life. No chance to move into a different role internally. What we do have is plenty of favoritism toward friends and family.

Just the new division?

I heard from several people Friday that the new division is doing a 30% reduction in force very soon

A hidden camera was set up in the conference room, here’s how it went down. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/q8R5AhT4_uo

Does the power structure in this company understand that forcing people into the office on Thursday next week after having Memorial Day off feels like a punishment for having the audacity to acknowledge a federal holiday? I know they don't care but... — read more 

I heard we are switching back to Microsoft 365 since Google is not streamlined, adds more steps, and prevents simple tasks. Has anyone heard this too?

Somebody posted under the Gas Prices thread that a memo went out regarding a change in the WFH schedule for Burlington due to insufficient parking for CFS employees. I did not get this message. Can anybody confirm this? What is the change and when... — read more 

I used to love working here. Now I hate it, and I can't pinpoint when the shift happened.

The company probably paid an additional surcharge to the consulting firm to heavily alter the results and put a positive spin on management perception. Don’t believe the results to be shared.

Recently a number of colleagues received performance letters that clearly state they need to be 100% for Q2 or they could be subject to termination based on their performance. Do you think this is a way for MO to downsize the company without having... — read more 

The losing streak continues as the results for April were beyond subpar. What happens in sports when a team stinks up the joint? The coach, and sometimes management, gets fired. It’s time for Japan to wake up and get rid of the jamokes running... — read more 

Ok, gas is now officially $5.00 a gallon in the Midwest, even worse in some places, and energy costs are rising too. It's time for upper management to make a smart decision, stop with this "collaboration" nonsense, and start letting people work from... — read more
