So how is it the company can “refuse to let them quit” or “force” an employee to go to a temple? What is the actual enforcement mechanism other than guilt?

Withholding a letter of recommendation maybe? If the culture truly is such that you get a job in your early 20s and stay there until you retire or die, then presumably a job seeker in their 30s would be virtually unhireable without a good explanation.

In that case, I don't think Resignation Agencies could help to get them to spit out letter of recommendation.

But the again - these agencies might be solving an entirely different problem.
