For workers in Japan who want to quit but can’t bring themselves to do it, there are companies that will tender resignations on their behalf, CNN reported. Resigning from a job in Japan can be seen by some as the ultimate form of disrespect, according to CNN. One worker she said worried about her employer denying the resignation and requiring her to keep working. The cost for the service is about JPY 22,000 (USD 150).
