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.

A friend of mine in Japan recently needed a lawyer to quit their job. Very unusual to me, being an American.

Nah, but it sounded like a very stressful situation that they even had to.
