Scared To Resign? This Japanese Law Firm Can Quit Your Job For You

Quitting your job is never a cakewalk. Moreso, if you have a scary boss that you're afraid to have that conversation with. And no, it's not a task some other friend or colleague can do for you, right? But there¡¯s a company which can apparently do it for you!

Osaka-based Japanese law firm Vogel comes to your rescue. A lawyer in the firm, named Yasusaburo Takehara, has a speciality service called 'taishoku daiko', which means ¡°job-quitting proxy'.

Basically, if you want to quit your job, Takehara and his staff will handle the resignation for you, let your boss know that you won¡¯t be back, and take care of all formalities, as per a report in Japan Today.

In January 2020, Takehara had reportedly said that he was inundated with requests from clients to deliver their notices of resignation to their bosses at either 8 or 9 a.m. on a Monday morning, which was the moment their companies had begun working after the new year break.

As a matter of fact, he had so many requests to do so that he had to add on extra temporary staff in order to fill all of the similarly-timed requests.

What The Company Does

The law firm Vogel reportedly charges 30,000 yen for the service, but it¡¯s about more than just helping employees quit their jobs without having to talk to a scary boss.

Lawyer Takehara¡¯s job-quitting proxy provides practical, financial benefits as well.

In addition to tendering your resignation, Takehara and his staff will also handle the meetings and discussions related to any unpaid salary or overtime fees, and also see to it that you receive any legally mandated severance pay, three streams of income that not all employers are cooperative in letting flow to an individual who¡¯s planning to leave the company.

And regardless of what sort of industry you want to get out of, Takehara¡¯s team is standing by and promises on Vogel¡¯s website that they can tell your boss he¡¯s seen the last of you in as little as three hours after you make your request.

Also, your job-quitting proxy will also act as your agent in making sure you are allowed to use, or otherwise compensated for, any vacation time you¡¯ve accrued but not used, and also negotiate for favourable terms as far as when/how you¡¯ll need to vacate any company-supplied or subsidized housing, a perk that¡¯s not uncommon in corporate Japan, as per the report in Japan Today.
