Tale as old as time and the same story as the cosplayer: the manager fired an employee for spurious reasons and it turned out it cost way more to replace said employee than to just keep them, making that a Bad Management Decision and therefore making the guy a Bad Manager
Yeah I know, but the fact in the prev chapter she seems to hate ALL men in general even the nice ones like Kenta who are trying to approach her and offer his services leaving some bad taste in my mouth. The author or editor could come up with better or more specific dialogue/Words like she hates her ex-colleague or manager in her workplace and not Men in general.

It's implied that the manager and her coworkers began giving her more and more work, abusing her status as the newcomer and using their seniority over here. This led to the point where she inadvertently became a key part of the office, something that happens commonly enough in the real world.Concur, I very much like seeing shitty people getting their just desserts, but some plot holes that can be overlooked in a fantasy manga IMO cannot fly in a more realistic setting.
This chapter we discover that Yuriko was a relative newcomer (so make it 2-3 years max with the company), and in chapter 6 we learn that her presentations kept getting shot down by the higher ups (so she wasn't having much impact on the overall strategy) and her senior colleague was supposing that Yuriko sooner or later was going to leave and he didn't seem to have any particular issue with it. And yet, just a month after she's gone the remaining staff needs to do massive amounts of overtime to cover for her absence.
How did the office manage before hiring her? Did everybody else start slacking off while she was there? Hell, how did they manage when she had a day off? She did have days off, didn't she?
And then there's the fact of her boss' boss having been demoted as a consequence of her departing. Surely not just for the increased overtime? From what I've always seen portrayed in media the office culture in Japan is that a certain amount of overtime is pretty much par for the course, so I doubt it would lead to a demotion just because the past month's hours have been higher than usual.
I'm struggling to find another possible cause for the demotion that fits the story... Perhaps Yuriko raised a stink on social media that went viral? But then, even if she went back to work it wouldn't resolve anything for the company?
Sorry everybody for the long rant, but I just wasn't expecting to have to employ this much suspension of disbelief in a non-shonen non-isekai manga...
Well she's in a growth arc. She learned to hate men because of the shitty old power harassing asshole (this chapter's guy) and all the other shitty guys at her old place with the typical Japanese company culture.
When they say Islands, they mean the cointryside. The rural prefectures of Japan. Plus, it was just mainly a vindictive line to say in the end. It's more of "have fun rotting in the countryside" type statement.

Sometimes if too many people quit, the managers are given a demotion, temporarily or permanently depending on the circumstances. ...I've uh, heard things from former co-workers.
