In Japan, you can hire someone to quit your job for you. It reflects a shift in work culture as more people are leaving their jobs, challenging traditional employment norms of staying with one company until retirement and tenure-based pay.

There is some real growth opportunities in this sector which is why I'm starting a singing telegram service specifically for quitting. We will have a broad selction of characters and a variety of vulgar songs that will inform your boss of your employment separation and other various opinions.

If I knew the language, I'd be doing business there.. packages "love the boss", "nothing personal" "rough exit", "sht in a box", "dramatic end" all with video and original music

Reminds me of the story of the chap in Harrods whose job it was to be sacked whenever someone important came in to complain. He'd be shown the door only to come back and await the next call.

A solution to weaken the people even more. If you can't even find the spine to tell your boss you quit, these r the things that make u stronger in mental health!

Most find joy after they did it, regardless of the consequences, they feel free and alive again. Now they will always fear the moment they bump in to each other.

because they them self didn't really close the chapter they were in, and their mind won't progress but keep them reminding of it till the day they die. It will only make a person more insecure to stand up for them self. The "Snakes" way out! And we already have too many!

Japanese work culture is just about the most toxic on the planet, outside of actual slavery. Combine that with their cultural taboos and you have a recipe for people unable to face confrontation and "lose face" by speaking up.

in japan, bosses will actually stalk & harass employees that want to quit. some bosses will call and text nonstop, some will even follow quitting employees to their new place of employment and attempt to get them fired there, show up at the person's house, and they don't take "no" for an answer.

This has been a thing for awhile in Japan and it’s very toxic. Because “quitting” a job in Japan CAN be seen as a stain on that company’s reputation. Which is “slander/libel”. Which means companies can SUE employees who quit for damaging their rep. WHICH IS A THING THAT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

That’s just ONE of the ways it’s toxic as hell. Another way is that particularly BAD companies will pay their employees so little, that those employees CAN’T hire someone else to quit for them. These are obviously the same companies that’ll sue any employees who quit directly, for “damages”.

How many bosses end up dead on average in a year? This is blowing my mind! I am a monster, so I cant look at this situation in a reasonable manner... but seriously... how do ... okay! If quitting your job is slander - then paying low wages is theft. Or maybe just neglect?

Some people are joking about this, but I genuinely would love this job. I'd know workers rights, notice period, legal contacts if they wants to make an unfair work claim... Insults are fun, but "My client is leaving your employ" can cut deeper with the authority to back it up.

They feel like you've let the company, and your colleagues down. The social contract in Japan is the company will give you a job for life and you do exactly as they say. They'll exploit you, work you to near death and pay you shit money, but you'll never be fired.

What if you want to hire someone to quit your job being hired to quit somebody elses job? Would they get confused and think the person you hired to quit your job are themselves quiting their job of being hired to quite other peoples jobs.

They forced you out so you couldn't have 20 years in the same company. We didn't become Upwardly Mobile - we became Laterally Mobile! Prevented Upward growth. Flattened the Market. Made it easy for Pension Raiders! Destroyed the entire retirement system in the USA

Oooooh, I’d ❤️ that job. “Veronica told me to tell you she quits & to kiss her ass. Oh, and she said you’re a bitch.” “Mark told me to tell you to go f*ck yourself. He’s out. He said you’re one of the worst assholes he’s ever worked 4 and he hopes your wife takes everything in the divorce.”

So many ancestral homes with arable land that are left empty in Japan. In America, so many don't have the benefit of ancestral homes. They work hard just to pay off mortgages. They taken for granted their ancestors' blessings. They can live off the grid, use them as vacation homes or retire early.
