JAPANESE COMPANIES HELP YOU QUIT YOUR JOB

Japan, as you may know, has a very work-centric culture. Workers traditionally stick with one employer for decades, if not for a lifetime. That’s why it can be tricky if you want to quit – it can be seen as the ultimate form of disrespect. Some workers complain that bosses harass them if they try to resign. Some bosses have stopped by a worker’s apartment to ring their doorbell repeatedly, refusing to leave. Some bosses won’t let the worker quit even when they kneel down to the ground to bow. In some cases, bosses simply rip up resignation letters and harass employees to force them to stay. That’s why, In Japan, there has been a growth of agencies that will help you quit your job. For around $150, these firms will help you resign stress-free. They will tender your resignation, negotiate with the company and provide recommendations for lawyers if a legal dispute arises.

* “Boss, I quit. I want to find another line of work.” “Kenji, you’re a sumo wrestler. What else are you gonna do?”
* Would your boss still want you to stay if you, like, stopped bathing?
* There’s a company here in the U.S. that’s helped me quit several jobs in the past. That company is Jack Daniels.
