In Japan's Workaholic Culture, 'Job Leaving Agents' Help Employees Escape

Services known as "taishoku daiko" or "job leaving agents" have emerged in Japan to assist employees in quitting their jobs.
These services have become popular due to societal pressures in Japan that make it difficult for people to leave their jobs.
One such service called Guardian has helped thousands of Japanese people, mostly younger, quit their positions.
Some employers in Japan refuse to let employees quit, forcing them to turn to taishoku daiko services for help with delicate negotiations.
Although quitting is a legal right in Japan, the culture emphasizes loyalty to companies, causing many to feel trapped in their jobs without the help of these services.
