Why do people work for these companies? Is there no other option? Is the pay great? Is it not clear that they're a bad company before getting hired?

The article mentions _two_ instance of people hiring somebody to quit a job on their own behalf - what? I know there are some Japanophiles here on HN - can somebody explain what that's all about?

Here in the US you can hire a broker to negotiate with a car dealer for you. This is because car negotiations are tedious, uncomfortable, and full of pitfalls and the broker is an expert who can handle it the best possible way (for a fee).

This is probably the same sort of thing, an expert quitter can turn in your resignation and wont won’t be enticed/coerced to take it back

I guess for those who do not want to put themselves through that situation it is easier to pay someone to do it for you.
