What parts of Sayu's doc contradicts any of it?
If anything it fits very well with her "crime" of going above her work experience 2 week hire group manage's head. If Elira et al were acting as the go between for JP it would make sense why they flipped the fuck out over a rogue JP speaking talent going to other higher management and tried so hard to destroy her for completely minor infractions.
Sayu's doc reveals a decent bit about the management structure, at least for xsoleil
For me, I see a manager as someone who helps us strategize and build upon our own style of content and character personality.
But that was far from what we got. The manager they assigned to manage our whole generation of 6, was someone who was a 2 week old hire. It was not the manager who trained us for the whole month of November with whom we developed a bond, nor the person who worked with us through the onboarding.
Anytime I had a call with our manager to discuss something, THEIR manager was also there. And it was pretty much just me asking him stuff while she sat there and nodded her head. If there was something I wished to do, or something I thought was worth fighting for, it felt like it wasn’t fought for. All I experienced was the expectation to bow your head down and not to question the system.
So I reached out to the two people who had onboarded us at the start. They were not our direct managers, but they were people who I trusted and felt comfortable with. I DMed them stating how bad I felt that I kept making mistakes, that I didn’t know what to do (in order to continue being creative but not infringing on one rule or another). I DMed them saying I was sad, asking if there was anything that could be done about my Genshin account, and saying that overall I just felt uncomfortable.
And one of them responded. The person who trained us was someone I loved a lot, and it seemed like everyone did. She was kind enough to have a voice call with me, and talk through my feelings and issues, and even offered to try to fight for the Genshin account issue. That was enough for me. I knew that it was a difficult thing with a company that big, and I didn’t have any expectations past her just trying. I was incredibly grateful that I just had someone in the staff that I could speak to.
But we would never speak like that again. In a call between my manager and their manager, I was told of my New Years suspension, and that DMing a manager was one of the reasons I was being suspended. I felt hurt and shocked; even my genmates had said they’d DMed managers before. I hadn’t said anything that would hurt anyone or was a secret. But that was that.
So the management structure inferred from Zaion's doc seems to be:
Talent -> Generation Manager (for xsoleil it was a female, esl, new hire, likely from the 1113 yen position posted earlier in this thread) -> Generation Manager's Manager (male, Zaion's primary point of contact) -> ??? - > Branch Manager (UMG guy, esl)
NijiEN also has a Training Manager (female), and Onboarding Manager
This
/vt/ thread already found likely candidates for the branch and xsoleil manager


Overseas Branch Manager,
Harry, proficient in Japanese and English.


Possibility for the new hire manager
Ema. Proficient in both Japanese and English
They're not mentioned in the thread, but
Remi (02/23 - present),
Joy (no date given), and
Madhu (11/23 - present) also work at Nijisanji as Project Managers with proficiency in both English and Japanese, and they're just the ones with LinkedIn profiles.
If Elira and co. are running around as intermediaries then I'm having a hard time understanding
where within that hierarchy they're working unobstructed. The onboarding and training managers makes the most sense but if that were the case, why would Zaion get in trouble for DMing someone who was effectively her co-worker?
Unrelated to the above, but I'd also like to put into evidence this poorly redacted screenshot of a message from Zaion's manager
I do love the mental image of Niji HQ burning and everyone accusing each other of starting the fire while across the street Hololive is having a pleasant Valentine's Day baking, singing, and playing with cats.
It's especially funny if you compare it to the Hololive discord leaks that showed Kiara taking on the role of shadow manger for their amongus collab
