At your service

The Irish Times - Letters to the Editor.

Sir, – There are now common occupations that I could never have imagined of when I finished my education about four decades ago, although I still can’t accept influencer as a real job. One recent addition, mainly in Japan so far, is a resignation enabler, who will help you resign if you are too scared to do it yourself. It appears that in Japan it is difficult to resign as it is insulting to the company, and some employers will just rip up the paperwork.

I am willing to add my experience as I have had no trouble leaving work sites or resigning, and on some occasions have even been encouraged to do so by my employers.

I never thought I would be so well trained in one specific skill. – Yours, etc,

DENNIS FITZGERALD,
