Rrat : She leaked her income and expenses
>Told her "friend" about her income, merch revenue, revenue splits, etc, in details
>Told her "friend" about her expenses, taxes, cost of doing this and that
>In the process of doing so, revealed some people who she has been working with
This "friend" is some aspiring chuuba trying to make it through to Holo the Jurard T-Rexford way but dialed to 12.
Ended up spilling it all in her application forms, cover HR went "How the heck did she know these?", launched investigation, triangled Mel. The rest is history.

Rushia was fired for saying her manager is mean and that she's getting bullied + name of manager. So the bar is pretty low in terms of confidenciality level (hardly classifies as internal even)
Don't think you have to spin weird theories. She probably did something a lot of holos do (talk about their job to friends) but revealed a little too much and was found out.

just record your boss telling you that he would fire you for discussing wages and bring it to a lawyer. Employers get hit with these sorts of wrongful termination lawsuits and are pretty eager to settle out of court.

Probably. It's clear that they parted on amiable terms given Yagoo's statements. We'll never know what exactly she disclosed, but we know for a fact that she leaked information because that was in Cover's termination statement. Common sense also dictates that it's in Cover's best interest to not fire talents unless absolutely necessary. People here think Cover will terminate talents at the drop of a hat, but this really makes no sense from any logical standpoint. When Mel was fired, we can infer with near certainly that they exhausted all measures to avoid having to do this. Thus we can also infer that this was a serious infraction despite amiable parting. So, this is likely something that they didn't want to do but had to. The leakage of financial data is the easiest way to explain this because Cover is a public company with a significant market cap and Japan's regulators are especially strict.

Hell, the NDA breach could be about her sending that info to Narukami in the first place, especially if they were only able to prove it recently, but I doubt they'd be that blatant about it.

they can't fire you for talking about your salary but they can invent a reason to fire you after you talked about your salary and have their legal team cut the throat of whatever employment lawyer your unemployed ass can afford. This is SOP throughout the US and the only exceptions are cases where management get so cocky they actually put "because you talked about your salary" in writing. They only get that cocky because they get away with it 99 times out of 100.

These rrats are so autistic holy shit. Muh insider trading, muh salary, muh paycut. As if no one ever discusses work with their friends when they're in a publicly traded company. Fucking Nancy Pelosi gets away with leaking info to her husband, but Mel fucking agent 007 IQ somehow dropped such an infobomb that jap's IRS is on her tail. Or imagine actually being afraid of disclosing your salary because some pencil pusher middle manager is gonna get upset. Are you actually retarded or what?
Here's a rrat that's isn't a complete sperg wank. Some VCR dickhead fucked her and then went on to check her PC for god knows how much dirty shit, while she was sleeping. Maybe even started DMing other holos from her account.

This is my issue with all the bitching and speculation: it cannot have been an easy choice to terminate her. I'm actually a Kapumin, in the process of archiving all my oshi's 800+ vids and songs and anything else I can get my hands on. Nearly 6 years of work, collaborative work as remember there's all the artists and choreographers and composers and others too. Who knows what Cover had already scheduled her for? Sponsored streams, new outfits, new model tech upgrades, fucking 5th Fes. All of that work, all of that money already spent, now for naught. This is not an easy snap of the fingers decision that some children here might wish to think it to have been.
I'm worn out. It hurts.
