Yeah, no, when someone’s secluded, they’re often put in an empty room without so much as a window, and given literally nothing to do, but sit there. Can’t even have a phone out. It’d drive me mad enough to quit, and the same is true of lots of people.
Not legal in countries where you cant outright fire people. You have to get them tasks. No phone out wouldnt be enforceable unless they sit you in a bunker with no connection.
Is it? It’s your boss’ duty to provide you with work and they cannot dock your pay (outside of special circumstances) if they don’t have work for you, but they can absolutely pay you to sit around and drink coffee in case work comes around.

I believe what they’re saying is you can’t use work assignment to pressure someone to quit as a way around labor protections.
As with a lot of legal stuff, the intent matters.
It being illegal doesn’t stop people from doing it.
This would be considered power harassment in Japan and you can sue for it. Companies try to do it anyways though.
imaginary friend game weak
This is the story of a man named Stanley…
In Japan, thats the whole point. The business will do this to make you quit instead of them firing you. They have whack employment laws.
Sounds good in a way because you can take as long as you like applying for other jobs without losing your current income.
Often comes with a job title change and people notice those sorts of things in Japan.
Better than being homeless whilst trying to find a new job
Japan is weird I’m not sure if it’s still this way but at one point homelessness or a resume downgrade would be a legitimate hard decision.
So you’re saying it works.
