I moved to Japan a few months ago and began work with an Eikaiwa. Without going into too much detail, I need to quit for my mental health. The work hours are too much and commuting to three different locations a week is exhausting.
I want to quit and need advice. I’m still in my probationary period of my contract and I live in company provided housing. In terms of putting in my notice, has anyone else done something similar and do you have any advice on how to handle this? How did you manage the work after putting in your notice, like did the environment change or was it about the same?
Also, I plan on moving back to the U.S. since I don’t have the desire to stay in Japan for work. Is there anything I should know regarding immigration as I return back and what affairs I need to get in order before then? I only just feel like I’ve figured out my Japan residency needs and now I have to figure out how to backtrack on all of that.
This is all very overwhelming so I just would appreciate some feedback and advice because I’m struggling.
Thank you!!
