Japanese workers turn to resignation agencies

> Those fortunate enough to leave are sometimes asked to send apology letters to colleagues or deliver speeches expressing regret for their “selfishness” and “disrespect.” Of course, these are the most extreme cases–but they do occur, according to Momuri.

So, not that much different mindset than a US startup founder who takes 70% equity, while offering the first hire 0.5% to 2% in options (vesting over 4 years, with exercise rules that further discourage ever getting any equity at all)?

(Edit: Fastest downvoting I've ever seen on HN. :)

The "selfishness"/"disrespect" is literally just politeness, the person writing it is often not genuinely thinking this, and the people reading it also know it's bullshit. Journalists should stop directly translating Japanese as the nuance is lost.
