New employee retention rate in Japan is 70%. Nintendo's is 98.8%.




I want to see the test you have to take to be a Nintendo Employee.

Are we sure they're allowed to leave though? Maybe the 1.2% is just people that tunnelled out.

A clip from the Nintendo new employee training video. Caption: You LOVE it here, You will never leave...

Which is why my uncle still works at Nintendo.

It's 100%, those 1.2% are just the Nintendo Ninjas who aren't hired 'on paper'.

We had this thread I think. Also, I've never seen the percent sign placed in front of the numbers before, is that a thing you do in some countries?

I always thought that work at Nintendo is a dream, no?

We are in market crisis. People dont have that much choice these days, so they have to stay and earn that money.

Yeah but if in the market crisis Nintendo chooses to increase people salary, more reason to believe they are a good place to work.

Granted, I am not an investor and don't have a MBA but when the Wii U bombed and Iwata announced that he and the upper management would take a 50% cut in their salaries in exchange for not laying off people (as some investors asked about), I thought "well, he genuinely seems to give a shit". Dunno how Furukawa is handling Nintendo but it appears he's doing the right things.

I did it to be different. And see if people would notice. you win.

What? It says right there in the headline that the overall new employee retention rate in Japan is 70% so apparently there's plenty of choice. What crisis are you talking about? And why does it only affect Nintendo employees?

Maybe there is some sort of crisis in the US? Dunno.

The world market is messed up due to inflation. And gaming market is competitive field. Its hard to get a job, if you leave your current job.
Its why people dont want to quit their job after the covid lockdown. Even if they hate that job.

Maybe Nintendo is like the Hotel California....you can check in but you can't leave.

Dude, don't do that thing where you read some headline then toss out some plausible sounding explanation for it when you really have no clue what's actually going on.

 

[Kataploom]

I'd definitely love working at Nintendo some day, even if just to say I did work for Nintendo lol

That 1.2% was probably the note Miyamoto could slip out of his cage where they keep him in.

This is why everyone has an uncle that works there

 

[Cert.in.Death]
