While the Great Resignation made quitting seem easy, exiting an unsatisfying job has proven to be harder for some overseas, ushering in a new wave of businesses that help workers resign from their roles.
In Japan, companies are cashing in on employees’ hesitancy to call it quits and helping unhappy people leave their jobs.
One such service is Exit, which oversees the resignations of 10,000 people per year and even offers half-off for returning clients.
Similar services have cropped up across the country, which has 2.7% unemployment and staffing shortages, per The Journal.
At quitting agencies like competitor Albatross, the staff calls clients’ places of employment and declares they are quitting and specifies other details, such as when their last day will be, how to return company-issued tech or uniforms, and more.
While a majority of bosses will accept the notice of resignation from the third-party service provider, a fraction — around 10% — of employers require legal negotiations with a lawyer present, Albatross CEO Shinji Tanimoto said.
