There seems to be an ongoing flurry of resignations from one of Japan's leading television channels, Fuji TV. An unverified amount of anchors are reportedly leaving the network in what is being called a 'resignation rush'. The reasons for these exits are not yet fully disclosed, but it could represent a significant shake-up in an industry known in Japan for its long-tenured employees.

In Japan, employee loyalty and long-term commitment to a single company is highly valued. Thus while staff turnover is normal in any workplace, a mass resignation scenario stands out and often signifies deeper managerial or structural issues. Television anchors are seen almost as a symbol of such stability, making their collective resignation even more remarkable and spotlight-grabbing.

In contrast, the US and EU television industries expect frequent job changes as part of career advancement. Resignations, even on a larger scale, are usually attributed to personal career choices or market competition. However, a widespread departure from a single network cannot be ignored and often leads to an evaluation or restructuring of the company's management.
