In Japan, more and more workers are turning to layoff agencies for help. Where does the trend come from? The star asked.
Anyone who wants to quit their job in Japan needs strong nerves. In the land of the twelve-hour working day, it can be difficult enough to get off work on time. It is even more difficult to submit a notice of termination. Because in Japan, there is still a lot of truth in this cliché, the well-being of the economy is above all else. Traditionally, Japanese workers stay with one employer for decades, if not a lifetime. Termination can therefore be seen as the ultimate form of disrespect. In extreme cases, bosses tear up termination letters and bully employees to force them to stay.
