It always becomes very indebted.
This is Kida, the representative.
From April 4th, the Universe Group will be closed for the entire period.
Sorry for the late reply and the delay in responding.
The company is now at a critical crossroads.
Eight years have passed since the founding of Universe Club, and just as we are expanding overseas and developing other businesses.
The new coronavirus infection has arrived.
Stay within a community unit, such as "family and home."
I think that's what it means.what is required now.
Dad → Get on the train to go to work and come back
Mom → Goes to yoga class and Johnny's Live and comes back
Eldest son → Goes to school, cram school, club activities and comes back
Eldest daughter → Comes home after playing at a friend's house after school
This has been my life up until now, and when I think about it now, it's like we're competing to see who can get the most virus that's falling outside and bring it home.
And now
Dad → He is said to be at home, but he comes to work three days a week.
Mom → Johnny's live is gone, but I'm chatting with my mom friends at the park
Eldest son → School is closed, so I go to my friend's house and play games
My eldest daughter → I talk to my friends on LINE.meet and play in the park
I think it's like this
Until now, the behavior that has been in contact with more than 5000 people in the family total has been suppressed.
It may be down to around 1000.
And back to the story, dad life.
A single man and a woman living alone have a date in a private room.
This is 1 contact, so it may be close contact, but I don't care about touching a doorknob dozens of times a day that I don't know who touched it, but I only care about one close contact. ,I wonder what about.
I thought.
But as long as there is a possibility that someone will be annoyed by the first reason, I can't say that and I can't write it.
But the same goes for adultery.Hurt someone if you get caught.
But as a company, as a membership club, we have put restrictions on dating.
The company is now at a critical crossroads.
I can't actively recommend setting up a date now,
Many women also refuse to go on dates, and the number of dating settings, including online dating, is less than 2% of normal times.
Of course, even if the employees came to work, there was little to do, so we decided to close the company.
It was decided and notified on April 4th and implemented from April 14th.
Slight deficit in March,
Forecast sales for April are expected to be in the red,
Moreover, the personnel expenses for the 4 new graduates who joined the company on April 1, and the relocation of offices such as the head office, Osaka, Kyoto, Taiwan, Shibuya, etc., have caused cash flow to deteriorate rapidly.
On April 4th, we decided to downsize our business and lay off employees.
We have decided to suspend and gradually withdraw from Singapore, Taiwan, China, services for foreigners in Japan, matchmaking businesses and mobile apps, and are reorganizing personnel accordingly.
Reorganization of personnel = dismissal.I asked the relevant employee to inform me that I was dismissed for company reasons.
Employees with titles who are not closed are working hard at this moment.
I think that employees who are on leave have one heart
If the period of self-restraint in the world is extended by about 6 months and sales are zero until 6 months later, even if you receive a subsidy for suspension of business, you will have to think about the next restructuring of the organization.
There are days when I look at the daily number of infected people and sigh.
So what I hate is neither the coronavirus nor the request for self-restraint,
I hate myself 4 months ago.
I hate myself for the last year.
I was unable to change my feelings about the bloating of expenses in the name of investment.
Other companies can use this time effectively to prepare for the end of this period, but I'm only able to hold meetings that get in the way of busy field staff.
I had been trying to work from home even before COVID-XNUMX, but now I'm writing this blog in an empty office.
After all, working from home is not good.
Especially during a crisis like this.
I felt that I wanted to work while looking at the faces of all the employees.
and future plans.
My prediction is that the corona self-restraint will be lifted on June 6th.
We anticipate a gradual recovery from there.
New graduates will resume OJT from May 5st to prepare for the busy season from July.
If the employee who was laid off can be brought back, they will be brought back.
As a bad manager who fired his employees, I don't know what side I should lower.
Anyway, now I have no choice but to walk facing the front.
Under these circumstances, we are grateful for the kind words and cooperation of our members.
I'm really happy.
In order to repay this kindness, first of all, I would like to streamline and improve the efficiency of the organization and specialize in better services.
