Some work situations can be very difficult to face, such as resign. It was thinking about this reason that a startup created an unusual service that resigns on behalf of the employee.
That is, to leave an unwanted job or to end a professional stage, you just need to hire a company and go in search of happiness!

As a result, some Japanese people no longer have to go through the strain and embarrassment of resigning. In addition, they are innovating and promoting a cultural change, as the average length of service in the country is 12.4 years.
Why are the Japanese paying to quit?
Despite being an unusual service, the company Exit, responsible for taking over the layoffs, he reported that business is doing well. The Japanese company already serves 10,000 people annually.
For Exit co-founder Toshiyuki Niino, leaving a job in Japan feels like they're making an unforgivable mistake. He also claims that the moment of dismissal is very shameful, as bosses make the person feel guilty for leaving the position.
In fact, this was the main motivation for founding the company in 2017, when Toshiyuki Niino decided to leave a job in which he felt unhappy. With the support of a friend, he quit his job and started his own outsourced firing business.
Many Japanese have already hired the service for the amount of 20,000 yen (name of the currency of Japan), about R$ 700.00. For this amount, the company takes over the entire process of dismissal, from the moment of the application with the boss to the bureaucratic part of documents and signatures.
The tradition of lifetime employment in Japan
Culturally, Japan has an idea that a person needs to have a job for the whole life. Soon, many are afraid of not accepting a lifetime routine. Normally, in the Asian country, a person works for at least 12.4 years in the same job, according to the country's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
This divergence of opinions that generates the demand for the dismissal service is also proven through startup data. This is perceived because the majority of customers are men in their 20s who do not want to stay with the same company for decades.
Thus, the new practice of Japanese young people reaffirms a change of generation and of cultural customs that contest the traditional habits of extreme dedication to work.
