Japanese people are very hardworking than any other country. It is also known that over one million people die in Japan every year due to overwork. It is said that in order to quit a job in a work-crazy country, it is customary to take the help of experts. Such information has emerged in the CNN report.

24-year-old Yuki Watanabe worked 12 hours a day at the office. It is considered a short day in Japan. In Japan, the minimum working day is from 9 am to 9 pm. Sometimes he leaves the office at 11 pm. He wanted to quit his job to get rid of the extra workload. But here lies the problem. Taking a few days off from work in Japan is quite a complicated process. An employee who wants to resign is seen as the ultimate form of disrespect in the country. Workers in Japan tend to stick to the same job for long periods of time.

It is not new here to tear up the resignation letter of the boss in anger and force the employees to stay in some cases when they want to resign. Watanabe was unhappy with his previous job. He said his former boss often ignored him. Made him feel bad. But he did not dare to resign. Finally he finds a way out of this situation. He turned to an organization that helps employees quit their jobs. Many Japanese workers hire these proxy firms to help them make a stress-free resignation.

Such firms existed even before covid. But according to experts, its popularity has increased after the pandemic. There is no official count of the number of firms resigning across the country. But day by day the importance of this firm is increasing in this work crazy country.
