I've always worked jobs where it's pretty well understood that switching employers is one of the easiest ways to get a promotion and/or a pay bump, asking for people to serve as references or to provide letters of recommendation is a completely standard and prosaic social interaction, and there's really no requirement for leaving a job other than an informal two week notice that you're pursuing other opportunities.

As a result, this story about a dude being so anxious about performing a ritualized job quitting ceremony that he ends up seeking a paid service to do the deed for him is kind of baffling and (literally and figuratively) completely foreign to my experience. Like, there are stories about feudal Japanese peasants living in fear of being eaten by one-legged umbrella monsters that are more relatable than this.

It might be different in Japan, though. In the US my experience has been the same as yours, but I hear one reason the labor situation is worse in Japan is because employees are supposed to be loyal to the company, so moving jobs or resigning, even with 2 weeks notice, is extremely frowned upon.

Paid leave? Sounds sus


i feel like if yr gonna resign you'd do it in the office and not just like at a private after work meaning

feels like a scam to pay a third party to help you resign unless it's some law/lawyer bs and a ton of paperwork versus some two weeks notice tho i hear it's hard to get 'fired' in JP/they give you busywork/stick you in a corner til you resign depending on how badly you screwed up

but that said i'm sure some ppl would knowingly use it if it's like "hey we'll kill your boss"

(tho i remember that uramiya honpo chapter where they paid mc of that to get rid of a crappy manager/chief only for an even shittier person to repliace him)

 

[fight2live]

you need to hire agents to handle your resignation???

you need to hire agents to handle your resignation???

In Japan? Yes, they would gladly.
Japan's work culture is so broken that in severe cases, employee can't even go home if their upper bosses are not clocked out first.
You are expected to sell your soul to your company forever, and job quiter are viewed badly.

You’re telling ME now that I could’ve GHOSTED my job AND got my boss ERASED from the face of the earth?? I needed this…

The man at the end reminds of the Men In Black in Mieruko-chan.

Also for those surprised at the existence of resignation services in Japan, watch this:
