Canon Imposes Tough Working Conditions?




Working at Canon is not a piece of cake folks! It looks like all the chairs have been removed from the desks and alarms go off if you’re not working fast enough. Is that really so? Do employees need to stand up and run instead of walking to increase productivity and cohesiveness between them? Well in that case I would not want to work for Canon.

Hisashi Sakamaki, the president of Canon Electronics, seems to think that forcing employees to stand up while working will decrease the costs and it will increase productivity. And as for walking, any employee that’s walking slower than 5 meters every 3.6 seconds, or less than 2.2 miles per hour, will trigger an alarm and a sign that flashes :”Let’s rush: If we don’t, the company and world will perish.” That sounds all just a little unhealthy for my taste. What do you cubical fans have to say about all of this?
