Company screws up, says sorry, flagellates self

Only in Japan.

Thank you, Fujitsu, for taking the blame for a massive cockup. The Tokyo Stock Exchange was down and out for nearly a full day about a month ago, and the problem was traced back to Fujitu’s software. Tsk tsk. At least they reacted well, cutting the President’s salary in half for six months, and further reductions down the line. This isn’t something you’d see in many other cultures.
