>>36637288>>36637288This isn't necessarily true. It is OUTLANDISHLY hard to get fired in Japan, "At Will" does not exist there, and is generally seen as disgusting when foreign business comes in and does it to their people. So EN members should be receiving similar treatment.
From my understanding, to be fired in Japan one of 3 things needs to happen.
1: The company is bleeding money and it has to downsize or go bankrupt.
2: You do something illegal, get caught, and it is reported(you don't necessarily need to be convicted)
3: Prove that you are so incompetent that you need to be fired for the good of the company. This takes a long legal process that normally isn't worth the cost. You went through the interview process and they hired you, now they need to prove that you are shit at the job somehow despite their own earlier judgement. This is why you see some incompetent people in japan just get mothballed that are still "working" and receiving a paycheck. But really they put you in the basement and hope you agree to quit in a mutual contract.
In Japan a company is like a family. Its your life, social status, everything. Employees that don't leave on mutual terms find it hard to get new jobs(even if its a Black Company), companies that fire without good reason get bad reputations.
Bottom line, it is possible that they wanted Sana to work more as per her contract but she didn't want to. As for Mel and Ayame. Ayame has medical reasons for her leaves and the streams she does do are well received(cant fire someone like that in Japan) and I don't know fuck all about Mel.
