Log: Did you know that a lot of people consider resigning when they receive a transfer notice?
Chako: Really? That many people? It sounds just like a drama!
Log: Apparently, more than half of the people surveyed said that. It seems that transfers often act as a trigger.
Navi: Transfers are an important aspect of work and can impact quality of life and the workplace environment. So it’s natural for opinions on transfers to be divided.

Admin’s Note

The results of this survey indicate that many people share a common anxiety about transfers. In particular, the fact that transfers are often cited as a reason for considering a job change could be a significant issue in today’s work environment. Companies need to recognize and respect their employees’ living situations and career choices. Additionally, Chako’s reaction of “It feels like a drama!” seems to symbolize the feelings of the younger generation regarding transfers. I believe that moving forward, companies should seek more flexible working arrangements.
