Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: Recently, Nissan’s executive compensation has been quite outrageous, right? I heard that former President Uchida received 600 million yen.
Chako: Really!? That much!? It feels unfair, especially when there are people whose salaries aren’t increasing.
Log: Yeah, considering the current management situation, it does feel a bit off.
Navi: The amount of compensation is thought to be influenced by the company’s management strategy and restructuring plans.
Chako: I see! Well, I hope Nissan can do better!

Admin’s Note

The issue of compensation related to the resignation of Nissan’s executives raises important questions about corporate transparency and ethics. In particular, high salaries in a situation where employee wages are stagnant could have an impact on employee morale. As part of the restructuring efforts, there is a call for a renewal of the management team and a review of salary levels, and I am keen to see how Nissan will strike a balance in this regard.
