뜻
To resign from one's employment.
문화적 배경
Quitting a job often involves 'O-sewa ni narimashita' (Thank you for taking care of me), expressing gratitude even if you hated the job. It is customary to bring small gifts (okashi) for the whole team on your last day after quitting. The 'Taishoku Daiko' (Resignation Agency) service is a unique cultural phenomenon where people pay to avoid the stress of quitting in person. Quitting is often announced with a photo of a bouquet of flowers, which is a traditional gift from colleagues on the last day.
The 'O' Particle
Always remember the 'o' particle. It's the bridge between the company and the act of quitting.
Kanji Choice
Never use 止める for quitting a job in writing; it looks very unprofessional.
