Abanishment room (Japanese: 追い出し部屋,IPA:[oidaɕi̥beja], also called achasing-out-room orboredom room in English) is a modernemployee exit management strategy whereby employees are transferred to another department where they are assigned meaningless work until they become disheartened and resign.[1][2][3] Since the resignation is voluntary, the employee would not be eligible for certain benefits. The legality and ethics of the practice are debated, and it may be construed asconstructive dismissal in some regions.
InJapan, the practice is used to push employees to resign due to the country's strict labor laws, layoffs being taboo, and a tradition ofpermanent employment.
InFrance, the practice, called "mise au placard", is illegal and is considered a form of moral harassment.
In his book,Parkinson's Law, economistC. Northcote Parkinson discusses the phenomenon.
