A Japanese company is offering paid leaves to employees to mourn or celebrate the marriage, retirement or graduation of their idols. Hiroro Inc., a Tokyo-based creative direction company, is giving its otaku employees at most 10 paid leaves for the said reasons, as per Sora News 24 on March 16. In the other incident, Tsurumi noticed that another employee was sad after his favorite idol announced that she would be retiring soon. The policy states that employees can take 10 paid vacation leaves if their favorite idol is retiring, and up to three days off for a “lower-ranked” idol. ADVERTISEMENTAside from the said reasons, the Oshi Vacation Policy also makes it easier for employees to file for leaves when they want to attend a concert or meet-and-greet events of their idols.
