    I was curious too, so did some searching. His name seems to be Calimar White (based on this Tiktok page), and the company is called OCDA (Occupational Cares Diversity Affairs). The website, which also has YouTube videos, is at https://ocdaofficial.com/

    I’d use this service for when I need to retire or quit from a job I may not like. Like how the Japanese do.

    Japanese working culture is ... different.

    https://metropolisjapan.com/resignation-agencies/

    Tl:dr;

    The top-cited reason for using resignation agencies, at 40.7%, was that companies refused to let them quit. Other reasons included fear of backlash if they resigned alone or their work environment discouraged employees from quitting independently.

    In Japan companies even do their best to not fire people and just bully them into quitting. So they don’t have to pay severance and also maintain their image. They will basically isolate employees from their colleagues and give them jobs that they weren’t even hired to do, like cleaning even though they have a cleaning crew. Like at Konami employees they wanted to let go of were forced to clean the Konami gyms.

    Being isolated from your colleagues doesn’t sound that bad to us, but in Japan many people don’t have many friends outside of their coworkers. Not to mention everyone knows what is about to happen if they isolate you. It’s a way to shame you.

    Basically they do shit that is straight up illegal in most western countries.

    What prevents them for doing the same? Not doing their job until they are fired so they don't have to quit. I would guess that would be even more shameful

    Japanese principles of honorable work, fear of retribution in future jobs. They’re brought up to expect a very different relationship with their company, and end up with a self-abusive mentality that they must deserve the mistreatment.

    May I introduce you to the Reassignment center.

    A reassignment center (also known as a rubber room) is a type of holding facility administered by the New York City Department of Education for teachers accused of misconduct while awaiting resolution of their misconduct cases.[1][2] As of 2007, the city had thirteen reassignment centers.[3] The teachers are not required to do anything, and they may be assigned to the center for months or years.[citation needed]

    Three Department of Education employees speaking to the UFT's "New York Teacher" confirmed teachers' allegations that Fordham High School for the Arts Principal Iris Blige filed allegations against the school's UFT chapter leader, to place her in a reassignment center, in order to intimidate her and to set an example to the school's staff.

    Since the teacher has been accused of misconduct. The Deptartment can hide behind that fact to argue against dismissal.

    I just noticed this on our calendar and had to wonder if the boss of the calendar company made them put this here.

    Edit: Wikipedia says it is real:

    Boss's Day (also written Bosses Day or Boss' Day) is generally observed on October 16 in the United States. It has been pitched as a day for employees to thank their bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year.

    Oh I think it should be a day where the boss does the actual job and shows us why they’re boss

    That might work with mid level managers but my experience has been that when the more senior folks do try to do this (for whatever reason) they are so overwhelmed by their own reality distortion they think they did a good job. I mean they don't have to deal with the consequences of their poor choices ever, so why worry about a concept or design being bad.

    I saw that on our calendar this year and laughed. The company i work for had a huge influx of buisness for a year or two, but they mismanaged the hell out of the profits. With everything going to shit this year they had to let go of over half the company, including my husband just days before his hire date anniversary when he would have gotten more vacation days and his yearly raise.... Yeah...boss....i dont have many reasons to be thankful this "bosses day"

    I complained to my boss about my boss and he would make sure to change things for the better of his employees. Because the less employees complain, the better work they do.

    Nah, the good old days, when you'd step out for a smoke break and cut their brake lines, before they leave to take a two-week holiday vacation. No HR, no confrontation, just results. And maybe a promotion!

    Now we have 'mediators' and CEOs don't like having an office with floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor anymore...

    The bosses say, "thank you for setting me straight" and pay him.

    I would imagine it's a company where you called him up or send him an email saying this is what I would like he tells you okay it'll be 50 bucks and then you pay him money to go do this. Fairly simple

    A great idea, but I think a lot of businesses would never let this guy past the front desk/security.
