Recently I someone living in Japan on Reddit who experienced a "they won't let me quit" scenario which may provide some perspective on what it's like: https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/comments/1gk4enr/current_... https://www.reddit.com/r/japanlife/comments/1goyw04/end_of_a...

Personally (living in Japan) I've never experienced something like this, but it does happen.

The second reddit link above includes an example, where the person has a visa change and would get in trouble with immigration if they continue to remain employed.

If the person was leaving because they accepted an offer from another employer, being on two payrolls simultaneously might also be a problem.
