退職代行
의미: A resignation agency service that quits your job on your behalf — you never have to face your boss again.
退職代行 services emerged in the late 2010s and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. For a fee (typically 20,000-50,000 yen), a third party contacts your employer and handles the entire resignation process. This reflects how difficult quitting can be in Japan, where bosses may refuse to accept resignations, guilt-trip employees, or make the process humiliating. The service is especially popular among young workers at black companies (ブラック企業). Some services are run by lawyers for legally complex cases.
