April is the month when many young people start working at new companies as new employees. On the other hand, the signs of resignation proxy services are eye-catching.
There are no accurate statistics on the number of companies offering resignation proxy services, but the number has been increasing in recent years.
Operators range from general companies, labor unions, and lawyers.
The beginning of resignation proxy services
Resignation proxy services have been attracting attention since the late 2010s.
The reasons for this include changes in the work environment and an increase in troubles related to resignation.
The need for resignation proxy services
The need for resignation proxy services has been increasing in recent years.
In particular, the following types of people tend to use these services:
People who find it difficult to bring up the topic of resignation with their company
People who want to avoid trouble with their company
People who are mentally exhausted
People who work for abusive companies and find it difficult to propose resignation themselves
The number of cases in which new employees use resignation proxy services has been increasing in recent years.
The following factors are thought to be behind this trend. Gap with the image before joining the company: In some cases, the situation after joining the company is very different from the work content and working conditions that were heard at the company information session and interview, and the situation after joining the company, and so early resignation may be considered.
Frustration due to being assigned to a department different from the one desired, known as "assignment gacha," is also a cause of early resignation.
Mental burden: In some cases, the pressure of being a working adult and the difficulty of adapting to a new environment can leave people mentally exhausted.
There may also be problems with the working environment, such as power harassment from superiors and seniors, and excessive overtime.
Interpersonal problems: In some cases, interpersonal relationships at work do not go well and people become isolated. In particular, new employees have few people to consult with, and tend to keep their worries to themselves.
For these reasons, it is difficult for new employees to bring up the idea of resigning on their own, and there are an increasing number of cases where they end up using resignation proxy services.
The turnover rate of new employees varies depending on educational background and industry, but according to data from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, about 30% of university graduates and about 40% of high school graduates leave their jobs within three years.
Detailed data is as follows:
Turnover rate within three years by educational background (from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's "Turnover status of new graduates in employment")
University graduates: about 35% High school graduates: about 38%
From this data, we can see that one in three new employees leaves their jobs within three years.
Also, when viewed by industry, the turnover rate tends to be high in the service industry, such as the accommodation and food service industry, and the lifestyle-related services and entertainment industry.
In general, large companies tend to have lower turnover rates than small and medium-sized companies.
They say that "it takes three years to get by on a rock," and although they will face difficulties from now on, I hope they will overcome them with a positive attitude.
