Japanese Job-Quitting Service Contacted by Other Job-Quitting Service

Tuesday, 19 November 2024

In the most ridiculous item of the day…

Among Japan’s job-quitting proxy companies is Momuri, whose name is a sympathetic play on words with the phrase Mo muri (“I can’t take this anymore”). The company recently had the script flipped on it, though, when Momuri was contacted by a different job-quitting proxy, who informed Momuri that they’d been hired by one of Momuri’s own employees who’d decided to quit.

Japan watchers probably know all about the rise of job-quitting services in the country. Quitting a job is stressful and difficult in Japan. Whatever your feelings on that are, it is a thing, and these companies provide a much needed service to ease this stress and help people quit.

Where this becomes just silly is watching an employee of one of these job-quitting services use another job-quitting service to help him quit his job. I guess it just goes to show how pervasive the bad work environment is in Japan.
