A Japanese marketing company offers time off after a bad breakup.
Working at Hime & Co. may help you get over a bad breakup. This marketing company offers heartache leave: one day off per year for employees younger than 24. Those 25-29 get two days a year to cry, watch sappy movies, shop or eat to mend your broken heart.
CEO Miki Hiradate says, "Women in their 20s can find their next love quickly, but it's tougher for women in their 30s, and their break-ups tend to be more serious.” Yikes. What's that old saw about it being more likely to run into a terrorist than find partner when you're in your late 30s?
I think the best thing is to prevent a bad breakup is to do it right in the first place. That means choosing your partner wisely, treating him or her like gold, and focusing on communication and committment. To that end, make sure you put some thought into Romantic Valentine's Day Gifts -- and look into the Reasons for Extramarital Affairs.
Watching the Top 10 Wedding Movies of all time may not help with a bad breakup -- but it can put you in the mood to tie the knot!
