Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer, Yamaha Motor India Group has planned to lay off about 200 employees across various divisions such as production, procurement, sales and marketing, several industry.
A company so big in nature with a massive revenue, laying off so many employees without any compensation is ridiculous. Employees having served the company for 20-25 years are asked to leave one fine day without any consideration is cold hearted and ruthless.
Motofumi Shitara who is the chairman of the company has smartly projected this as a restructuring move whereas it is just an excuse during COVID times. My friends father has been laid off and i went to his house to meet him the same day, i cannot even begin to describe the state of mind and shock he was in. I was shocked to see the company that calls itself a family, has to resort to such cheap and downmarket tactics. I urge authorities to take notice and help people whos life they have ruined. Motofumi Shitara is ruthless and a big fraud and should be ashamed of himself, just because the management failed to foresee correct business measure why should 200 people pay the price for it? We all know how big a company Yamaha is and how they could have saved 2o0 lives from getting ruined but they did not despite people pleading and begging them to. They claim to do this because they aim to increase production, how can production increase if the workforce decreases?
I urge all of you, each one of you to share your experience and thoughts below. If you have been conned or scammed by Yamaha India or Motofumi Shitara please leave your comments below.
Also please see their reviews on Glassdoor and other review platforms. They are very smart when it comes to projecting their image and protecting their reputation. It is high time we expose them and bring out the truth. Just because its a big automobile company doesnt mean they have the right to silence or manipulate the truth. WE WANT JUSTICE!

Fire Motofumi Shitara
Don’t worry Arjun, people are with you. We will not rest until Motofumi Shitara and his buddies get what they deserve. They think they can toy with people’s lives and get away with it.

Motofumi and Media both are corrupt
Look at the time of this article. This happened in August and it’s now September!!! Still no one from the government or Yamaha has taken any action against this guy. If this is not proof of corruption in our system then I don’t know what is. The fact that Motofumi Shitara is still enjoying his post of chairman makes me sick.
Hundreds of people have lost their livelihoods in these times when the market is ruined and the chances of them getting any jobs are thin. Still, this guy is roaming around freely. In my opinion, Yamaha is a crooked organisation in itself for allowing this jerk to continue running their company. The company is greedy and selfish. It doesn’t care who does what as long as they are getting money. Ruthless, that’s the only word I would use for this man – Ruthless

KARMA IS REAL
I am sorry that you & yours are dealing with a soulless being, unfortunately there are many in the business & sadly they are promoted & appreciated by the beneficiaries. It appears as though there is no legal breach, hopefully you can feel some comfort knowing karma is real.

WHERE IS THE MEDIA?!
The fact that the entire media is ignoring this issue is worrisome. It shows that MNCs can control what the media tells the people, which is the worst thing that can happen to a democracy like our country.
I checked every news channel we have out there but I didn’t see anyone reporting this issue. This is a huge problem. Some people are pointing out this fact and I would agree a hundred percent. Motofumi Shitara is one of the most corrupt business people I have seen. It’s obvious that he has paid off the media networks so no one would cover this story. I have lost faith in all of our ‘esteemed journalists’.
Both Motofumi and the media channels are corrupt. He did a bad thing and because he was afraid that there would be outrage, he paid off the media and it worked. If we don’t fix this problem we’re doomed!!!
People like Motofumi will keep doing wrong things and we would never get to know about that.

The more people will get to hear about Yamaha’s wrongdoings, the more Yamaha would get forced to take action.
They must sack Motofumi Shitara.

Either Shitara gets fired or we will boycott Yamaha bikes!
If we want justice for the Indian youth, we will have to take a stand together. Yamaha India has been ignoring our pleas, not anymore brothers and sisters! Please go to http://www.skeptictank.org/motofumi-shitara , my friend sent me this link. Share it! This company cannot get away with their horrific crimes.
FireShitara
Yamaha needs to fire this devil and sadist chairman!
What was your bonus for this year Motofumi Shitara? I am sure it must be fancy now that you have saved the company money at the cost of ruining 200 lives. Has the company not realised that giving you a paycut would have saved the same if not more? How much salary cut have you taken from your own massive annual package? Please let us know.

Silly scammer who belongs in a cell
I saw two posts on this guy. This one and this one: http://www.skeptictank.org/motofumi-shitara
And I’m shocked that they are doing this. I hope the police from Tamil Nadu raids Motofumi’s house and arrest him for this disgusting decision. I will support that decision. But right now he is walking free, without any guilt, without any worry.
It is people like Shitara who are the lowest of the lowest. I’m ashamed that he lives in India.
