According to Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter, the company is “taking a traditionally Japanese approach to reducing staff and sending workers to rooms where they are given nothing to do, putting pressure on them to leave voluntarily.”

Bandai Namco Studios has reportedly moved 200 workers to such rooms, leading to almost 100 resignations.

I’ll take it over not even having a dedicated spot in that corporate chicken coop we call the office.

I've heard that kinda "firing" is pretty common in Japan and one of the MANY reasons why the world culture there is so fucked.

Honestly though, that shit wouldn't work on me. Hell yeah I'll get paid to sit in a room and do nothing all day. Until you actually fire my ass, you'll still have to pay me.

Oidashi Beya is a practice used by Japanese corporations to isolate employees by giving them no tasks, in an effort to get them to leave of their own volition, rather than be let go and receive severance.

What the fuck? I really hope the workers get the severance they deserve.
