Leader resignations in well-established companies are major news in Japan. Often, they signal significant shifts in a company's strategy and direction. People pay close attention to the future direction and potential impacts on the broader industry and economy. Public sentiments generally respect tradition and smooth transitions.

In the U.S or EU, the resignation of a prominent leader in a major tech company would also be high-profile news. The focus, however, would likely be more on potential impacts on the stock market, as well as speculation about the incoming leadership and future direction of the company.
