>>109144816>the alternative to open communication and anti-retaliation is losing talent.Your company must be an idyllic place because I genuinely never saw a company with “anti retaliation” ever. Middle management is usually so insulated from consequences (with the worse usually being “falling upwards”) they can lose as many talents as they want without getting even reprimanded.
In most companies going above the head of your structure gets you the same consequences Twisty got on Nijisanji.
With that said, it was absurdly retarded for the company to allow that to happen with the EN branch and I mentioned this a couple of times in this thread, the reason it happens
>it’s the nip version of pajeet’s “Izzat”When Japanese companies want to expand abroad they don’t just open a foreign branch and send some of the local leadership to take the risk to try to make the business viable.
>they can’t, the social cost of “losing face” by being given a task and failing is unbearable, nobody is willing to do it Instead, they create an entire new whole-owned subsidiary, hire some LOCAL leadership and put the whole responsibility of making the foreign endeavor succeed on them while, at the same time, giving them full authority over it (usually reporting only to the CEO of HQ directly).
You can see that dynamics with most big nip companies: Nintendo of America, Sony Corporation of America, Capcom USA, they might as well be a different company given how different is their approach sometimes to the same products.
It’s clear that they’re doing their own thing completely disconnected from HQ, acting with full authority given by their HQ leadership.
Both Cover and Anycolor got bit really hard in the ass because of that btw
>Anycolor with NijiKR>Cover with HoloCNIn both cases said local leadership entered in full rebellion against HQ and the whole branch had to be disbanded and destroyed because it was no longer viable.
Now, in HoloEN’s case, HQ clearly saw more value in what they had so the JP leadership at some point assumed direct control and tried to right the ship, with mixed success.
But the fact HoloEN’s local management acted as if they didn’t have to report anything to HQ (and forbid talent from doing so) was not by accident but by the exact design nips model their foreign ventures.
