A new survey by Mynavi Corp reveals a rise in resignation agencies in Japan, reflecting the challenges faced by employees wanting to quit traditional lifelong commitment jobs. Mr. Iida’s experience of his boss refusing his resignation led him to seek help from agencies like Momuri, revealing a societal shift in prioritizing mental health over enduring toxic work environments. The survey found that nearly 1 in 5 people in their 20s in Japan used resignation agencies to quit their jobs, highlighting the generational change towards a more balanced and sustainable work culture. This transformation may be Japan’s hope for combating overwork suicide and death by overwork, ultimately empowering workers to advocate for better conditions.
