As you may or may not know, Nova Group, the company I worked for in Japan is in extreme financial trouble. I was very blessed to have left the company when I did, because if I had stayed just a month later, I might not have been paid on time.
Here is an article on the situation Nova finds themselves in. They haven't been able to pay out their salaries to foreign and Japanese employees, and they've been evicting people because they haven't been able to afford to pay for their rents on school and apartments. They are shutting down 200 branches as well.
The article is a decent one. With regards to the comments at the bottom, the last two, but especially last one is most conclusive and accurate I feel.
It will be interesting from a personal and a business standpoint what happens in the next few days.
To my friends who are still there...Zoe, Kiki, and Maoko - you girls need to get out! Kiki, just move back to Canada, but Toronto this time.
I knew when I was there that Nova couldn't be treating their employees and students in that way and continue to thrive as a company. It was inevitable that they would fall. Glad i'm not there to be affected by it.

I saw Kiki today, but I cannot see Maoko anymore.
I don't know why.
So far Gakuennmae is all right because it is big branch.

Hi, Maoko would transfere to the Joyou branch according to my friend, because she got married and works at near her house,if my memory is correct.
I'm going to Turky with from my junior high school friend who I went to NZ with 2 years ago.
