April has kicked off, signaling a flurry of new beginnings, including fresh graduates stepping into their new roles. However, amidst the excitement, there’s a recurring trend – new hires leaving their jobs abruptly. Intrigued, we delved deeper to understand why. Our inquiry led us to Monten, who made the bold decision to resign on his very first day at work.
“We caught up with Monten, who left his job just a day into April 2022.”
At 24, Monten resides in the Kanto region, where he shared his reasons for departure – concerns about his well-being and a lingering sense of mistrust toward his employer from the onset. Although his decision seemed impulsive, it was, in fact, a culmination of longstanding apprehensions. His journey traces back to his university days.
“I enrolled in an architecture program through high school recommendation. By my third year in college, around June 2020, amidst the COVID-19 upheaval, I began job hunting,” Monten recounted.
He pursued short internships, attended company events, and faced interviews with over 20 firms. In August of his third year, he embarked on a prolonged internship at a construction company. Despite three months of dedication, the company chose not to extend an offer following his final interview with the president. This setback unfolded in mid-November 2020.
The Question of Early Departures
As April 1st marks the start of the new work calendar, many young professionals eagerly join the workforce. Yet, amidst the buzz of crowded trains and bustling stations, a different narrative unfolds – tales of new hires bidding adieu shortly after their arrival. Some exit even before lunch on their first day, sparking discussions around what’s now coined as “Real-Time Attack (RTA) Resignation.” Originally from the world of competitive gaming, RTA now characterizes swift resignations in the corporate sphere.
This year, with April 1st falling on a Monday, companies wasted no time in immersing new recruits into full-time work from day one. This accelerated onboarding approach has raised questions about its correlation with the uptick in early exits. But what prompts individuals to abandon roles they’ve ardently pursued?
