Proxy resignation service helps Japan’s dutiful workers to quit dead end jobs

Have you been in a situation where you desperately want to quit a job but you don’t quite have it in you to tell your employer? Well, the Japanese have figured out a solution to this problem. In Japan, all you have to do is call a proxy resignation service, tell them you want to quit and when you want to quit. They will take it from there i.e. they will call your employer and tell that you will no longer be coming to office and that the employer needs to expedite – switching to Indian parlance use – the “full & final settlement”.

The name of one of the more prominent proxy resignation service providers in Japan is Exit. However, this space, whilst uncrowded at present, is expect to see rapid new entry as in a labour starved market like Japan, it is really easy to quit a job you don’t like and get a new one. As the market for skilled labour tightens in India, this sort of service would work really well in India.
