INTEREST: VTuber Kanata Amane Announces Graduation

Amane had been consulting Hololive Productions about her work-related issues for several years, but "resolving them would have required a fundamental review of the organization's internal structure."

Chat, is it bad if my employer has fundamental and systemic issues that HR can't or won't address?

You know Ménière's disease has no cure, right?

You know this is not mentioned in the article nor specifically mentioned in the English post on X, so anyone who doesn't know much about Kanata won't know about it, right?

You know, I'm having a hard time finding anything that indicates the condition is impossible to accommodate for, so it reads to me that Kanata is being told "We don't hire disabled people."

I've seen many articles and videos going with the "overworked" angle, and though there is some truth in that and Kanata herself even admits it, that statement definitely requires context.

A major factor is her own health, which I don't think is mentioned anywhere in the statements regarding her graduation. Kanata did share that the workload and schedule did affect her health, or that her health condition made it difficult to accomplish her tasks, but she also wanted to make it clear that the company has tried to and is continuing to improve things behind the scenes to address the issue. She also admitted that that some of the workload issue was self-imposed, as there were projects she really wanted to complete while she was with Hololive. And to make this point clear, she even went out of the way to say that "issues with management" or "burnout" were not factors as to why she's graduating as doctors and management even suggested that she slow things down.

Personally it sounds like she knew her health would eventually make it nearly impossible to continue to work at Hololive, so she pushed herself and did as much as she could while she still can, hence the "overworked" statement.

Health issues can't always be accommodated for, at least not realistically. One of the big factors Sana quit was due to a back injury which made it hard for her to sit for prolonged periods of time which makes it very hard to stream especially with a vtuber rig. I'm sure Hunter x Hunter fans know how that can be with creators with back issues.
