Thanks for the chapter.

No overtime

When you're expected to do overtime it's no longer overtime

When you're expected to do overtime it's no longer overtime

I mean, the pay rate for overtime is different…

 

[Hicleric]

Her recovery seems a bit too easy, but I am willing to forgive a plot hole for the, er, wholesomeness

Yeah, but the point is that overtime is supposed to be unusual. If the company expect you to do overtime regularly just for them to continue normal operations, then they're doing something wrong.

Plus in Japan there used to be (I don't know if there still is) somewhat of an expectation placed on employees that they wouldn't submit for overtime pay because they should be grateful for the company giving them a job and in some cases the overtime hours were basically scheduled into their work expectations anyways and if you asked for overtime you were selfish and greedy and not a team player.

Also in Japan standard overtime pay isn't even time and a half. It's time and a quarter. You only get 150% on holidays or double time if you exceed the legally mandated work hours cap (which is also probably why companies encourage unpaid OT. If they don't have to validate employees working after hours they can say that those caps were never reached and they don't owe increased pay)

Wait...my memory is missing pieces. I remember her becoming a "shut in" because stress from work, but I don't remember why or how they tackled the problem and why the company treats her like this.
It feels weird to see the company actually giving her less hours and workload instead of booting her. It's nice, mind you, but I didn't expect it.

She had a breakdown and took a bunch of time off because she burned out. But since this isn't a terrible black company they're being supportive and recognizing that they have to work her back into things slowly so that she can get her feet back under her without a relapse.

I think in universe she's been off for a few weeks to a couple months.

Don't cry, I'll cry too!

Taking care of yourself is important, the chapter.

Also, knowing your own abilities and playing to them is good.

Also also, don't forget to voice your appreciation for people.

 

[Graywing]

Thankfully the office is supportive. Thanks for the chapter!!!

 

[EulBassist]

Yaay! I was wondering when we'd be able to see the two of them together again!
As always, thanks for the chapter!

That mentality is so stupid to me then again the corporate world is run on nepotism and nonsense so it tracks nobody gets anything out of merit and in my opinion if merit doesn't matter do the bare minimum and nothing else

For all the good that Japan's social consciousness and collectivist attitude can bring, the fact that it is so easily weaponized by bullies and the unfettered to just bully/badger people into not complaining about mistreatment is awful. And for a country that has such a high priority placed on the value of the group, Japan also has a history of being extremely anti-union even among workers because companies have successfully brainwashed people into believing that unions are an awful sign of disloyalty to your wonderful employer who is giving your life meaning and value. So while in the west the sort of shady-as-hell black company stuff would mostly happen in low-end non-union blue collar jobs where the workers have absolutely no leverage because they're infinitely replaceable, in Japan it happens in white-collar industries because if you speak out about being mistreated you get turned into a pariah for being a selfish little bitch.
