According to Nintendo's annual report published earlier this week, only 4.2% of company managers in Japan are women. This is a number that has remained unchanged since 2021, when the company formed its 'Nintendo Women and Allies' initiative, pledging to "promote women’s careers"
I don't think its fair to look at the overall percentage. Instead, we should look into how many new managers got appointed and how many of these were woman. If that remains unchanged too, then it's fair to complain.
Exactly this. When I lived in Japan I worked with some employees that have literally been in that same position longer than I've been alive (men and women).
It’s literally been 2 years, and as others have said, they’re not gonna start firing people or creating positions just to boost some numbers on a spreadsheet.
they definitely could but I would hope they are not because that would be tampering with the whole metric which just makes it meaningless and fuels haters
There are usually several people who are all similarly qualified for a position. People often get chosen for arbitrary reasons like being friends with the person doing the hiring.
