"If it's on internet it must be true" - Wernher von Braun, winner of Nobel peace prize, 1944
I thought that quote was attributed to Abe Lincoln, TIL.

There are no horrible workplaces in Europe?
I dare say that if such a letter were to be sent from a company in my country, it would be grounds for legal retaliation. Why would you put insults into writing, in official letters no less?
They try to make sure as little as possible is spilled to the public.
If they do and if you can, have them fire you and then send the corresponding tribunal after them.
Also make sure to post a candid review on glassdoor. Perhaps google and LinkedIn.
Do not forget to hit back, do not be their punching bag. You will find out that bullies crumble very fast when facing resistance.
This is one of the reasons why I will always support unions, as long the employers and managements cannot get their egos in order.

Are insults illegal where you are?
Aside from that, in Germany it's a common practice to get an Arbeitszeugniss. It's essentially a transcript from your employer stating how you performed while on the job. By law it's has to be formulated to be positive about the employee. Because of this, you often have to read between the lines to understand the actual meaning of the transcript.
How could a company conduct itself in such a way, and still expect to retain a fruitful business? As someone from europe, I sometimes don't know what to think of japanese work culture from stories like these. Regardless if it's real, I often feel as if I'm missing a lot of context.

The original tweet[1] containing a photo of the letter is from a Twitter account that no longer exists. Hard to determine the provenance and veracity of said letter, which is full of grammatical errors.[2] [1] https://twitter.com/kachokun/status/1357366042972987396 [2] https://twitter.com/romanbaken/status/1357549910124449793
Really, just weigh the likelihood of a company taking the time to write such an over-the-top letter, against the insatiable desire of many people on social media for notoriety.
