Ever since 2011, things have been getting rougher and rougher for members of organized crime groups in Japan. That was when a law was passed prohibiting companies from entering into contracts with any known member.

Just plain unfair, guys.

What stops a criminal from “officialy quitting” and just being more subtle about it?

It always took me as strange, though strangely charming that Japanese organised crime is.. well so organised that they are clearly labeled and publicly known. Down to having their own segregated baths.

Eh, not if you're a full, fixed employee (seishain 正社員). Legally, you just need to give two weeks. Contract workers can have a tougher time due to specific contractual obligations.

If you mean dealing with insurance, pension, etc. when one would cross a month boundary before starting the next job, then that part's a pain, but just some paperwork, really.
