Japan’s Workers Hire Resignation Experts to Escape Grueling Jobs | CISNewsStudio1s

In Japan, many workers find it difficult to quit their jobs due to intense work cultures and pressures. To navigate this, they hire resignation experts to help them leave their roles.

Yuki Watanabe, a 24-year-old who worked at major telecom and e-payment companies, would spend up to 12 hours a day at the office, often leaving as late as 11 p.m. The grueling demands eventually took a toll on her health, causing issues like shaky legs and stomach problems.

Watanabe, who used an alias when speaking to CNN to protect her future job prospects, highlights a broader struggle among Japan’s workforce, where long hours and high expectations make resignation a daunting task.
