I heard you were hiring, so I came

No. 683 The story introduced this time

Here, we feature tear-jerking stories that have become topics on the internet or in the news, along with videos uploaded to platforms like YouTube, as "stories so good they bring tears to your eyes."

The story we are introducing this time was posted on X (formerly Twitter), and it is a heartwarming tale about a certain animal that showed up after seeing a job posting for Yamato Transport.

Regarding the posting date, it is based on a post from November 14, 2017, on X (formerly Twitter) as listed in the
source.

There was a YouTube video based on this story, so I will introduce that as well.

A savior for a delivery center suffering from a labor shortage!? The cat that came to Kuroneko Yamato is cute

The delivery industry is facing a serious labor shortage.

Yamato Transport also faced a difficult situation in its quarterly financial results for the 2018 fiscal year, with an ordinary loss of 12.6 billion yen due to "tight domestic labor supply and demand" in addition to "an upward trend in small parcel shipments due to the expansion of the mail-order market."

To cope with the increase in parcel volume at the end of the year and the labor shortage, they posted job openings for part-time drivers at 2,000 yen per hour in some regions, but even then, reactions on the internet included comments like "It requires both brains and physical strength, so it's still cheap" and "The risk is too high."

Amidst all this, there was a heartwarming topic where a Twitter user tweeted an image of a black cat that had come to a delivery center.

A black cat sitting neatly at a center where a sign saying "Now hiring cat paws" was posted.

In addition to reactions like "Cute" and "That's a hardworking cat," there were also comments such as "An easy job just purring at the counter" and "Hired as a mascot cat."

Delivery companies are heading into the year-end sales season where they would literally like to borrow a cat's paw (a Japanese idiom for being so busy you'd take any help you can get).

Honestly, it is unclear if this cat will be an effective worker, but if a cat were working there, job applications from animal lovers might increase, and perhaps the possibility that it could lead to better employee benefits cannot be ruled out!?
