In recent days, according to its financial report, Nintendo has announced a 20% drop in sales of the Switch, but still plans to institute a 10% pay increase for employees, the company said to investors. Part of this is due to the request of the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, who directed the companies that pay workers more after inflation has reached its highest point in the country since 1981.
However, the increase announcement was made during an earnings presentation that showed sad news. Switch sales have dropped a lot, although games

While companies such as Google, Microsoft and Take-Two are announcing mass layoffs, Nintendo is going against the grain. However, it remains unclear whether Nintendo's 10% pay increase will apply to workers outside of Japan.
Some Nintendo of America contract employees in Redmond, Wash., said that recently saw substantial pay increases after months of putting pressure on management over the subject. A tester, responsible for checking bugs in company releases, told the kotaku that its hourly rate changed from $16 per hour in 2022 to over $20 in 2023.
This positioning by Nintendo is important to try to erase a past event. That's because the company fired a tester after he asked a question about unions during a department meeting, which that prompted many current and former Nintendo of America employees to speak out about feelings of exploitation and mistreatment.
