They refused to let me go': Japanese workers turn to resignation agencies to quit jobs
Briefly

Mari, a temporary worker at an online bank, faced severe workplace harassment, leading her to resort to proxy resignation services, reflecting a generational shift in employment attitudes.
Shinji Tanimoto, head of Momuri, noted that the demand for proxy resignations has soared due to rising workplace harassment and changing perspectives on job responsibilities among younger workers.
In Japan, resigning has traditionally been viewed as evading responsibilities, but attitudes are shifting, allowing workers to seek help and navigate difficult employment situations.
The proxy resignation trend reflects a societal change as many workers, especially from younger generations, confront issues like harassment, resulting in a more empowered approach to resignations.
