Zetsumado #101 Quitting is All About Human Relationships! The Joys and Sorrows of Handovers

Confused by the sudden news of resignation.

One day, a mysterious meeting suddenly appeared on the calendar. Upon joining, I was met with the heavy news of a colleague's resignation and the daunting challenge of a work handover. With no documentation or operational manuals, the handover process, relying solely on verbal explanations, was nothing short of a rollercoaster of joy and sorrow.

We discuss the difficulty of job specialization and handovers.

While quitting is a personal choice, the workload for those left behind quietly increases. In environments where design documents and operational rules aren't well-maintained, you might even discover flaws in settings that could explode by the end of the year. Furthermore, someone from another department quit while leaving their work stuck, making the situation even more complex. From the perspective of an office worker, we also casually reflect on workplace communication and the boundaries of power harassment.

A story regarding resignation is shared.
