The email sent from President Izumi to all employees. In the second paragraph, the restart date is clearly stated as “May 1st.” In this email, it is clearly stated that “the inauguration date of the new company will be ‘May 1st’.” Additionally, there is a request written urging all employees to come to work on that day with unified spirits to start anew. However, President Izumi also expresses regretful words, stating, “We have lost too much.” Although the new company name has not been announced yet, it is expected to be announced within the next two weeks. Signboards will be replaced, and uniforms are likely to be renewed. A 30-year-old employee working in the Kanto region stores expressed, “I want the new company name to be announced soon.” “While the name ‘Big Motor’ will disappear and become a new company, investigations into ‘negative legacy’ such as insurance fraud will be conducted by the old company. The new company will not inherit any negative legacies, and I’ve heard that a few people will be seconded from Itochu to the new company. I wonder what kind of company it will transform into. I wish for the new company name to be announced as soon as possible. When you mention you work at Big Motor, relatives and acquaintances freeze for a moment.” On the other hand, employees working in the sales department at stores in western Japan revealed their anxious feelings. “Our sales have recovered from a severe decline at one point, but we’re still not there yet. If the company name doesn’t change, there probably won’t be much change. Today, we received an email from the president announcing the inauguration of the new company on May 1st. But nothing has changed. We’re an old store, so we’ve been supported by long-standing customers. There’s no sign of changing the signboard. I guess things will get hectic and new in the next two weeks.”
