Who Would Leave If the Company Was Good?: Youth Standing at the Edge of a Cliff

2026.02.18 | Thoughts and Review
Who would quit if the company was good? This book starts with young people leaving their jobs and workplaces. It looks at why young quitters, even after risking their lives for high specs and jumping into the job market, end up choosing to quit, approaching it as an industrial, labor structure, and socio-structural problem. The stories of young people getting sick in a reality where they only have the choice to endure or leave in the face of passion pay and forced culture and authoritarian culture imposed under the names of interns and contract workers are introduced through various interview cases. The story of the current generation reaching a state of irreparable damage between exhaustion and endurance is heartbreaking and relatable. If someone quits, the organization should be looked into, but the social atmosphere that anyone can be replaced at any time increasingly alienates, weakens, and makes people evil. Everyone is a perpetrator, victim, and bystander. There is a limit to pursuing work-life balance to survive and finding cultural life and other communities in time outside of work to endure, and if structural problems are not resolved, it is just a drop in the bucket. There is no paradise in the place you escaped to, says the Berserk animation manga. Can we fight well and not get hurt without running away? Is that possible? It is a book that makes the head and heart more complicated.
