Comment on Bandai Namco reportedly tries to bore staff into quitting, skirting Japan’s labor laws

Bandai Namco has reportedly turned to the unspoken Japanese tradition of layoff-by-boredom by stuffing unwanted employees into oidashi beya, or “expulsion rooms.”

Employees banished reassigned to oidashi beya are left to do nothing, or given menial tasks at best.

Ever since I watched Silicon Valley I’ved dreamed of being oidashi beya’d.

Like, you’re just gonna give me zero work and a room to nap in for 8 hours along with a salary?

Fucking sold man. Let me live that Bighead life, dude is a nihilist spirit animal.
