A purely Japanese story: a dismissed employee hired a specialist to quit (5 photos)

You know that in Japan there are services that resign for their client. A Japanese hires a person who will go to the boss with a resignation for him if it is too stressful for him, and he is afraid that he will be shamed or embarrassed.





Many Japanese companies have an unpleasant hierarchy that weighs

These people are called taishoku daiko ("trusted persons for dismissal"). They not only contact the employer to resign, but also conduct all the unpleasant correspondence on your behalf. Considering that an unpleasant atmosphere at work is one of the most common reasons for quitting in Japan, it is not surprising that there is a demand for such a service there. The Japanese usually cling to their jobs VERY tightly, and quit only on the verge of a breakdown, when they can’t stand it anymore.



If necessary, they will respond harshly to your boss for accusations on your behalf

And what if the specialist himself wants to quit such a dismissal service? Among the Japanese companies that provide services of trusted persons for dismissals from work, there is Momuri. By the way, the name is a funny play on words: Mo muri is a phrase that translates as “I can’t stand this anymore.” And together - momuri. Momuri has over 20,000 layoffs in Japan.





The stress of leaving a job in Japan is almost as bad as the stress of getting divorced

And then another trusted representative for layoffs wrote to Momuri. He told Momuri that they were hired by one of Momuri's employees named A-san, who decided to leave. Incidentally, this is the same person who hired Momuri to help him when he left his previous job with their help. A-san applied for the job when Momuri was looking for part-time employees. He was hired despite the fact that he had a history of frequently changing jobs after short periods.

Then, a couple of months later, he hired a representative to quit the dismissal company for him. This is some kind of double level of irony. The new representative for dismissals said that A-san thinks that Momuri has too high a work pace, which he cannot keep up with, so he is not comfortable working. The dismissal company was, to put it mildly, shocked. Because out of 20 thousand dismissals, no one has ever quit FROM IT like that. And now he had to experience everything on his own skin.



Many workers are forced to go on drinking parties after work with people they don't like

On the other hand, this shows how widespread "quit for me" services are in Japan, that even they are invited to quit from quitting companies. Quite an ironic and very Japanese case.
