There was a big scandal at Konami, the famous Japanese game publisher and developer. A Konami employee assaulted his boss at work and was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Konami, which has managed to make a name for itself with both good and bad works in recent years, attacked an employee of his boss.
According to the Japanese news site Asahi, on April 11, around 11 am, a 41-year-old Konami employee hit his boss on the head with a fire extinguisher. The man, who was held by a colleague until the police arrived, was later taken into custody when the police arrived.

It was learned that the boss of the man, whose identity has not yet been determined, suffered a head injury. The employee confessed to being harassed and hitting his boss with the intent to kill. As a result of this confession, the man was charged with attempted murder.
After Hideo Kojima’s unpleasant departure from Konami in 2015, reports were also shared from employees over the years that the working conditions at Konami were not very good.
In fact, in a news made during the time Kojima left, there was a news claiming that Konami’s employees were watched by cameras in the corridor, that low-performing employees were appointed as cleaners or security guards in other parts of the company, and that those who took long breaks were shamed.
We hope that we will not hear such news again and we can experience the games that come out of an environment where employees approach bosses and bosses approach employees with respect and love.
