On the 6th, the first day of work, the resignation proxy service company was inundated with 256 requests, the highest number ever. This is thought to be due to the nine-day holiday over the New Year period. ■Requests from people in their 50s and 60s The resignation proxy service "Momuri" says that it has been inundated with many requests over the New Year holidays. Employees are busy dealing with them. Resignation proxy Momuri employee: "I am contacting you regarding the resignation of Mr./Ms. XX, who is currently working at your company." "I still want to work in my hometown, so I have decided to resign." Resignation proxy service "Momuri" started work on the 6th. The number of requests per day reached a record high of 256. There were also 103 requests on the 7th. Resignation proxy Momuri employee: "Everything from here to here (client)." Momuri, which began operations in 2022, will ask the client about their working situation and then convey their intention to resign to their employer on their behalf. Compared to previous years, the number of requests has increased by more than five times. Shinji Tanimoto, CEO of Resignation Agency Momuri: "(Q: What trends are unique to this year's New Year holiday?) There has been a trend of a large increase in the number of people who have become mentally ill themselves. Many people have been worried while on leave. I didn't think the number would become this large." It's not just young people who make requests. CEO Tanimoto: "Around 70% of the requests are from people in their 20s and 30s. When I checked, we also had applications from people in their 50s and 60s on the 6th. This is not just a service for young people." ■ Request for resignation proxy: "The thread has snapped" The program spoke to a woman who requested resignation proxy services. Caregiver, in her 40s: "I'm really worried about whether I can really quit" The woman who made the request on the 7th was a woman in her 40s. There was also a reason unique to the New Year holiday for her decision to quit. Care worker in her 40s: "My kids are coming home for the New Year holidays, so I applied for time off. They said they couldn't fill the shifts, so I asked for just one day, and I took that day off (due to poor health). I understand that there are no people around because they're sick, but when they say there's no point in taking time off at a time like this, I thought, "No." The agency also believes that the longer-than-usual nine-day holiday led to a sudden increase in requests. Resignation agency Momuri employee: "(Q: Are some of them saying they don't want to work or can't work hard?) Some of them say they worked hard until the end of the year, but they've just run out of steam." (From "Good! Morning," broadcast on January 8, 2025) [TV Asahi News] https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp
