Today’s business slang is “Yakushoku-Teinen (Retirement from their position)”

Many business persons in Japan need to accept “Yakushoku-Teinen” from 52 to 58 if they are not directors.

They have to resign from their current positions such as Manager.

In addition, no team member will serve for him any longer.

They have to work alone as “Sub-manager” or “Assistant Manager”. Moreover, their salary are cut by about 30%.

Some accept “Yakushoku-Teinen” as no pressure, but others feels that their job became less worth and their motivation became much lower.
