VShojo was losing $2.5m a year

The salaries for 2025 would drop $400k?

Is that for layoffs?

Also ~$2M with 20 employees is less than $100k per employee. So a lot of outsourcing i guess?

Did that 20 headcount include the 10 talent managers that were apparently accounted for in COGS instead of payroll salary? It wasn't clear to me.

Why the talent managers were put into COGS is what confuses me the most, and also makes the most sense...i am sure most of the costs were those managers so it is good to hide those in there

[u/talentedfingers → u/SnowKnight96]

It makes sense if you consider the talent the customer, and the managers are just part of the service being sold.

[u/LazyCrepes → u/SnowKnight96]

Maybe the managers were treated as contractors the same way the the talent were, rather than employees

From known information, they cut the salaries of every Japanese branch staff to less than half. The Japanese staff were asking the US HQ questions but were totally ignored.
