as an ex nova teacher, i must say a long time ago, saruhashi used to put on parties for everyone, and was quite generous, he even gave me a case of beer to take him at the end of one

He should have to do an equivalent number of charity volunteer hours for every 2,000 yen stolen. And then surrender everything he owns, action or sell it and give the proceeds to those he ripped off.

It is good to see one of these greedy B@#$%^& fall. They bleed their workers, bleed their customers and act like petti dieties with the whole "I am so important delusion" they impose on just about everyone else. More priviledged class corrupt scum bags like this should be brought down! And made to serve the society and people they hurt.

Yeah, and look how that ended up for the company...

When the company began to grow big he was no longer the man for the job. They should have found a qualified president many years ago. Borrowing money from the yakuza didn't do them much good either.

wow, you are easy. I wouldn't have taken him for just a case of beer. It would have cost him plenty

Nova? sounds familiar but doesn't ring a bell.

Nova? sounds familiar but doesn't ring a bell.

Did you learn that from a Nova book? Used to love the Nova dictionary which included the seafood "robster" and had graphic illustrations of vomiting and diarrhea.

I wonder how many years he'll be in prison. Hopefully, 8-10.

I worked for NOVA nine years ago, and I'm now working part-time with G.Education and I have to say - it's the easiest job in the world!! No more moronic managers or should I say, no more underqualified university "I got a 2.2 at uni!" graduates, on their first job away from home, with ZERO idea of how to teach in the first place, pretending they're someone big because they were given the title of 'manager'! God I used to HATE those people!

Thankfully G.Comm has done away with all that and taken away power from those in Osaka so that now they have to do a REAL job and stop thinking they're something special!

In my office there's just me, one other teacher and the receptionist, who I have to say, works bloody hard for the crap salary she gets! (Me and the other teacher help her out as much as we can, when we can!)

Can G.Comm bring this company back from Sahashi's mess? Probably, to a point. But they REALLY REALLY need to get rid of ALL NOVA signs!!

No one wants to be associated with NOVA or their criminal crime lord Sahashi!
