Failing Sanyo orders employees to buy its products

Sanyo's business is failing, so they've ordered their employees to spend a minimum fraction of their salaries on Sanyo products.

Executives have been asked to spend up to 2 million yen ($19,290), division chiefs 500,000 yen and other employees 200,000 yen on Sanyo products, which include televisions, refrigerators, mobile phones and insurance.
