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"

Yeah but when it comes to corporations saying they'll do things, its almost always just whatever garbage will benefit the company at the time, regardless of the fact they likely will never follow through.

I think the lesson is that you should never believe these statements about the future, the only times major corporations can be honest is if they're reporting something that already happened.

It's not really about believing them or not. It's more just bringing attention to their bs

This isn’t BS… if you wanna just focus on that percentage, Nintendo would literally have to fire people to create the openings needed to improve that number or create jobs during a recession. Creating jobs in a recession isn’t really a smart option. There are plenty of things to get mad about in the corporate world but a company that actually creates job security and employs such a high percentage of older folks isn’t one to be up in arms about.

They said they would do one thing, and haven't followed through. I would call that bullshitting, I just think it's nothing out of the ordinary.
