SECTION-C
15) Read the following case and answer the questions given below :
A Japanese company?s recent attempt to lay off one of its workers provides an example
of the ethical issues of such an action in another culture. Japanese ?companies? Kave
Traditionally' offered lifetime employment and have set the example of employment
security practices throughout the world. However, many Japanese companies have
bloated work force, and lifetime employment has somewhat eroded, even though layoffs
are opposed by Japanese culture and restricted by law. As a result some companies have
attempted to get some of their lower performing employees to quit.
Sega Enterprises Ltd., the producer of video games, wanted to lay off Toshiyuki Sakai,
one of its employees in Tokyo. Sega proceeded to inform Sakai that his performance was
substandard and offered him a severance package. He refused to quit and rejected the
package. The following account of the company's treatment of Sakai after he turned
down the company's severance offer raises some important ethical concerns.
Three days later, Sega told Sakai to take home all personal belongings, turn in all
company property and report to an office dubbed the ?Pasona Room?, after the English
word personnel. He arrived to find the room empty, except for a desk, three chairs, a bare
locker and a telephone that couldn't make outside calls. Sakai was given no work to
perform and allowed no diversions. He was being laid off, Japanese style, ?I?m not going
to be able to hold out for a day of this?, Sakai recalls thinking. Months later, however, he
was still clocking 40 hours a week there. Sakai had written orders to stay in the room
every day from precisely 8.30 am to 5.15 p.m. In late April, Sega announced a plan to cut
its work force by one-quarter. By June, 750 employees had accepted severance packages.
Sakai claims that Sega used the Pasona Room to frighten others into taking its buyout
offers, ?Everyone's afraid they might be the next to be thrown into solitary confinement?,
he says.
