This policy doesn't seem to be helping them much... :cool:

Ouch. I thought we had entered a new millennium...

Hmm, maybe this explains why no 24p. It's too slow for the big boss.

This will only end in tears.

I love that they probably invested a hundred thousand dollars in their radar tracking system to save maybe $50 in productivity.

Me? I would give the lights and sirens the finger and stop to tie my shoe for 45 minutes.

It's not Hisashi's fault when there are enough idiots to follow his rules.

What a shame for humanity! :embarassed:

Dang- I hope Nikon is not so rough because I am buying their cameras for still shots.

This is actually common in Japan. I spent a couple of months on a contract there at Fujitsu: just as ridiculous. As far as work practices go, Japan has not progressed since middle ages. It is also not a free democratic country, which we often forget and confuse with industrial progress. Accordingly, there is not much innovation or abstract thinking coming out of Japan.

Pretty sad, otherwise a beautiful country.

In this case PERISH, CANON PERISH!!! :sifone:

I'm not sure if I want to buy another Canon product.

Now you can see that all crazy funny things from 1984 are for real. But it is just same in Hunday factory in our country Czech republic - supervisors with binoculars and stopwatch checking if drivers are walking directly on painted lines and on calculated time to get another car from assembly line to parking place...

In Japan there is somehow more important intensity of assignment than result of work. Director of one Tokyo advertising agency banned work after 10 pm, probably it was serious problem. :)

Its same old problem stupid and lazy people make rules and restrictions because they dont know what is going on, but smart ones only require all job done at right time and how you achieve it is your thing.

You'd think that by now, we've figured out that happy employees equal productive employees. Look at Google or Pixar.

[Petr Dvorak]

Google is notorius with it, but my experience is that it is all about people. Smart boss and smart co-workers makes wonders. Only change boss for half as smart and its true pain.

[Noah Kadner]

I dunno I've been to Google and seen an insane amount of lollygagging...
