An animation company in Japan offers a fixed salary to animators

1

The animation company Reboot, founded in 2014 and focused on the production of animations and digital coloring, published an official statement through its official Twitter account on hiring and salary, which stated the following:

“Notice of hiring for next year. At Reboot we are looking for new staff, specifically digital animators (salary 180,000 yen) and animation supervisors (salary 190,000 yen). Since our policy is to 'cultivate talent', we have introduced a system of fixed monthly salaries to ensure that our employees have a stable economic condition ”.
A second post stated: “There are some negative comments about our job offer, but we have established those conditions mainly because we want to support the animators of our company. Thank you all for your continued support. "
Various Japanese forums shared company updates and highlighted comments such as:

  • "Hey! Animation production companies. If you want people to believe you, show the working conditions without hiding anything. New talents! Do not be ignorant or be fooled by a “stable salary”, you do not know what you would be getting into! “.
  • "I think it's a pretty decent salary for an entertainer, but as they always say ... Something stinks ..."
  • “If a salary is stable for employees, then the annual income will surely decrease. I believe that wages that depend on the amount of work produced are fairer, since effort is rewarded fairly. Companies should then find a way to balance motivation and economic remuneration ”.
  • “When I was looking for job postings, I discovered then that the salary would be approximately 1,040 yen per hour on a fixed 10-hour shift. Indeed, there is an increase in salary, but remember that it is stable and fixed, so everyone will earn the same regardless of individual efforts. "
  • "Once you find out how horrible the animation industry is with its workers, it is even difficult to express an opinion as to whether a fixed and stable salary is beneficial or harmful."
