Completely out of touch and condescending. Management uses this tactic to scare their employees into submission. Management also tells people not to expect promotions, holiday bonuses are off the table as well as merit pay increases. Ah yes, I should... — read more 

I was stunned at being laid off after 28 years. However, now I feel like I got the better end of the bargain. So many people still with Canon have said how bad it is now, morale is down, lot more work with less people, no one has a clue what’s... — read more

What does this mean for CSA branches? Does CUSA spend the $ to rebrand or are more cuts on the way? Do dealers take over the CSA portfolio?

Who needs Kyosei when you can have Karoshi? ;) Karoshi (Japanese: 過労死, Hepburn: Karōshi), which can be translated into "overwork death", is a Japanese term relating to occupation-related sudden death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karoshi

I still have no clue if I will still be employed at year-end. Nobody has come out to reassure us remaining employees of anything, which is downright terrifying. You would think that real leaders would COMMUNICATE, re-build trust and try to move... — read more 

When you watch the All Company Meeting, the tyrant CEO of CUSA comes off as very cold, insincere, unrelatable, and non-charismatic. You feel as if he’s talking down to you. He reminds me of several snotty Asian professors I had in graduate school. I... — read more

Over the last year or so, we have seen some troubling signs that all is not well at Canon USA, a lot of you may be seeing the same thing. I'd like to break down what we have noticed and we've learned through speaking with various people in the... — read more 

Canon laid off approximately 700 people across all canon companies. Entire company is in turmoil. Management doing nothing. No communication. Staff in te---r of being next on the chopping block or actively applying for new employment.

Are you still happy at CSA? What keeps you here

I’m wondering if the CSA & CUSA merger email is a veiled “WARN Notice” for CSA employees. Canon is so corrupt and would never flat out tell people that they will be laid off directly. They use these long-winded, flowery memos that leave people more... — read more

Rumor has it wait till the fall Emperor Sammy has another round of layoffs on deck.

This round was brutal. It was discomforting, to say the least. Both watching people leave, and experiencing all the anxiety while it was happening. It prompted me to start looking around for other opportunities. It may not look rosy, but if one... — read more

People are saying that Canon laid off the older employees. Curious to see Late 50's here

Hi all, I was laid off last week. Turn this into a positive situation. Canon did not provide great benefits or pay. Sure, it was ok, but there are much better places to work out there. Look into government jobs @ USAjobs.com. Security + benefits... — read more

Has anyone received details on their severance package? Will it be by email?

Seems like latest lay offs are racially biased.

They sit in meetings all day and have absolutely no clue what people need to do. The training has been pi-s poor since day one. You are on your own and will be treated like cattle when your sla-ghter day has arrived. No respect. Be defiant. Take... — read more

Should all of us who survived the bloodbath just start looking for new jobs now?

I keep hearing conflicting info on severance packages. Who received a severance package and who did not? I did not receive severance.

This has been coming for years. The long winded comments that are, most likely, from Canon corporate communications, are espousing a company that no longer exists. Corporations absolutely need to change/reorganize for the future and Canon used to... — read more
