They should really put their focus on improving their English before they start implementing stupid changes like this that won’t benefit anyone or the company.
If there was a worker’s union, that would have been discussed and probably not agreed but definitely negotiated. Kobayashi’s policies are straight out of a micromanagement book and what not to do. Because I liked him at one point, I thought he was a standout guy just right before he became a Sr. director, I recommend you read.

But your biggest issue is believing that American workers don’t have the best interests at heart for the company. If you can get around that it will be your first step forward.
2nd- stop bringing yes people into your organization, that mean every single expat coming and working for you!
My time there has complemented but there are lots of good American workers left!
The real question is: who's driving the clown 🤡 car? It's going to wind up in a ditch or worse.
@ag HR policies… The one we can’t get to on the Intranet! Every time I try, I get an error. Page will not load.
To all my fellow colleagues,
Directors and managers will push the message but they can’t control if you are on cam during a meeting.
I wouldn’t let this bother you. This is just another annoying tidbit in an effort to make your life miserable.
I wish Sammy and all managers pushing this stupid agenda the best of luck in this new policy you are looking to push.
Sammy needs to wear a clown suit because it fits him to a T. And one last thing: bet smart money these "negative comments on the Internet" remark he made last year still get under his thin skin. Sure, he's drawing big bucks now but shareholders are watching him as well. Bad PR will shrink their dividends.
Recommend everyone blacken a few teeth to make it look like folks are toothless. It would drive Sammy Boy crazy. 😂
About as popular as a colonoscopy: invasive.
The whole company should turn their cameras on simultaneously during the Kickoff meeting on Wednesday and give King Kobayashi the double middle finger.
Oh darn, I guess I better invest in some sweat pants and put the Vas---ne lotion bottle away on WFH days, wouldn’t want to end up like CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin, SMH….
@at the policy violation reporting will continue, until managerial morale implodes.
Let's see how long this lasts.. We can't get supervisers/ managers to answer back an IM, let alone turn their camera on.. LOL..
I don't think everyone here understands what a gift of a policy this is.
everyone should buy a usb-stick and document a copy of the HR-policy away from company hardware.
then start calling managers or figures of ill-repute with business related questions.
when they do not show up on screen then follow the policy.
screencap the empty profile picture of the call store it on the usb-stick and file an ethics complaint for violation of policy to HR or the ethics-portal (which can be anonymous)
then keep doing it day after day only with relevant business related questions (keep it compliant folks) and following the policy of being on screen and screencapping the calls.
I bet after a month of policy violations they drop it all together.
@a8 I can’t hear you over your poor posture and unnatural use of hand gestures.
Small policies, by a small man.
Micromanaging BS. Honestly, pointless actions like this represent one of two things; leadership completely bereft of impactful ideas, OR increasing microaggressions aimed at forcing people to leave without having to pay severance.
Either option is pathetic, weak, and representative of a flaccid leadership group who are the first people who should be replaced.
What a clown!
Hopefully someone will moon Sammy-Sun.
No wonder this company is tanking. They spend more time to trying to figure out ways to literally put toothpicks under our finger nails. Wonder how much money was lost with management dreaming this cr-p up? One more productivity hit. Je-kweeds!
This company and leadership are a joke
That’ll solve our companywide money problems!
Lol its hilarious
