Social media debate

Social media users reacted to the news about the company turning a profit in just one year and spoke about how being overworked was a serious problem, not just in Japan but across the world.

@KhonFaring: Need to quit your job but don’t want to go through the stress of doing it yourself? The Japanese company ‘Exit’ is here to help. Brilliant concept for a company. Haha.

Edgar Nevarez Chacon: I will gladly call your employers for free on your behalf and I will not be nice

@bws5: Have the [courage] to quit yourself ... Don’t take a coward’s way out. Have we become that weak?! @MarkCCrowley: Apparently! $450 is a lot of money to have someone else say sayonara!

Fabien Brogard: “Overwork” is the enemy of creativity and productivity. Your success is not based on how many hours you work. It is based on how efficient you are at getting things done. More often than not, it’s when I am away from work that I can come up with the best ideas or solutions in my life and my business. Having the ability to leave your work on time to refresh your mind and take a mental break will help you deliver greater results and will define your success.

@Simpilaltd: Kar0-shi literally translated as ‘overwork death’. This video shows the real dangers of overworking. The pressures of the workplace, targets and objectives increase the stress levels and we overcompensate.
