    It’s a different culture altogether, where a job is expected"for life", which also makes it difficult to quit a job. People are literally hiring other people to deliver their resignation notices because it’s impossible to do in person.

      People mostly, from what I understand, hire those companies to avoid harassment and trying to be bullied into continuing to work for shitty companies.

      It’s hard to get fired as a permanent employee, but not impossible. That said, the idea of “lifetime” employment is definitely not what it used to be.

      No, not that I have seen. Job for life is some outdated Boomer generation shit. When people want to quit they just quit. But quitting on your own may mean no unemployment benefits. When an employer wants a worker to leave, for whatever reason, they come to ask the employee to resign and offer them some money for agreeing to quit. Usually about 3 months pay. The employee can also collect unemployment benefits for several months if the resignation is at the request of the employer. So if you want to quit, it’s better to make your boss want you to leave, without committing any crimes. That way they ask you to resign. Much better than it was in the USA.
