Got dismissed from my job due to disorganization and stress. Literally the only reasons why I got fired. In fact their last parting words to me was to find a ‘less stressful job.’ Was given the typical 30 days notice but looking deeper into Japanese labor laws, found the company I was dismissed from had to take steps to do everything but dismissal. Training relocation, etc.

Okay, after I get all the official paperwork, I do the Hello Work thing and go to the labor board and lay our everything that happened in the month of June. High stress job, they were constantly moving the field post, any help that I asked for was half assed and they made their choice to dismiss on a day where I was so stressed from all the BS, I had a breakdown.

Labor inspection says let’s do mediation and ask for three months salary. Okay, cool. I fill in that paperwork and was told mediation was voluntary, so my old job could just give me the bird if they didn’t want to mediate (which they did.)

Labor inspection sent me a register letter saying mediation fell through, the company didn’t want to mediate but they suggested I get a lawyer. I have consolation with one this up coming week, to see what my options are.

It feels like the system is set up for you to not fight for your rights. After all that stress and heartache at that job, however, I’m not going down with out a fight.
