Why Leaving a Job In Japan Is So Complicated
i never understood why Japan has services where you hire someone to quit your job for you until a friend told me what happened when they quit their manager their manager’s manager even someone they’d never spoken to suddenly started interrogating them what’s your new job how long is the contract how much will they pay you why are you leaving they were even expected to write an apology letter not just to their boss but to the entire staff to them this wasn’t a person with goals just a tool they’d lost control of when they mentioned their new job paid more someone called it betrayal then the company called their future employer just to sabotage the offer that’s why Japan has a thriving industry where you pay a stranger to quit on your behalf
In Japan, career transitions can feel like loyalty tests
That’s why there’s an option where someone else can do it for you from start to finish

Would you handle it yourself or let someone else deal with it?
Ya i just pay someone because im that lazy and i will just zone out 😂
Lol! 😂 I have an inherent problem with perceived authority, so those "interrogations" would have ended rather fast. Honestly, I'd be the perfect person to hire for quitting for someone else. Plus I'm a Pisces so martyrdom for a cause motivates me. ☺️💖🌟🫶
Ayye whatever works, bottom line no work environment should ever be able to truly say they have you "locked in" life shifts, people grow AND backpedal. When you think about how much we continue to "change" throughout life giving that sort of resounding loyalty to a company, ANY COMPANY will always be a bad idea to me no matter where you are.
Just idk don't answer their questions.
This whole interrogation thing should be illegal
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Worked in Japan, quite 2 jobs and none of that was relevant. Just saying.
