TjKm3rMMuS- Sailor Moon News August 21, 2022 The long lost Toon Makers’ Sailor Moon Pilot has been found! Check out that footage and much more in the "Finding Saban Moon: The Western World of Sailor Moon" documentary by. Ray Mona chronicles her efforts to track down the long lost episode in two videos starting with The Western World Of Sailor Moon (Part 1), which aired in March. Last week, Nintendo of America received its second labor complaint of the year.The unaired episode appears in Ray Mona's docuseries Tales of the Lost, which explores media that has become lost over the years. Kotaku previously reported on harsh working conditions for Nintendo contractors in April, and IGN followed in May with an additional report where contractors criticized the company culture and their treatment. This report joins alleged labor issues that have arisen for Nintendo of America recently. He responded to the coverage saying that the firm has zero-tolerance for misconduct. Kotaku added that following its labor report in April, head of NoA, Doug Bowser, internally acknowledged the media’s allegations about the company’s working conditions.
Men who were friends with employees were more likely to become full-time NoA employees.
Another disparity that the report mentioned was the lack of women who could advocate for others when full-time positions opened. "If you were approached by a red badge, and they appeared to be making moves on you, you didn’t want to dissuade them too hard."Ĭontract workers weren't given clear goals that would help them be converted or have their contracts renewed. "A lot of the NOA red badges had reputations for using the tester pool of associates as a dating pool,” one tester told Kotaku. Kotaku spoke with 10 people who worked for Nintendo at various points of the past decade who detailed various stories of sexual harassment and gender discrimination at a company they said limited career advancement opportunities for women.Īdditionally, the report highlighted the power imbalance between full-time staffers and contractors, saying promotions to full-time work were given based on favoritism, with the head of the product testing department routinely making inappropriate advances toward women working under him. In one of the report's accounts, a former temporary staffer explained that she reported incidents of sexual harassment and in response, the external staffing company she technically worked for, Aerotek, "warned her to be less outspoken." Former contractors allege that Nintendo of America (NoA) was a discriminatory workplace for female contractors, according to an exposé by Kotaku.
