The old man needs to be fired. People with bad attitudes lower the morale of people around them and tend to favor subordinates that share their negative opinions. It's never worth it to keep those people around. Never.

Talking about one of the most fucked up countries when it comes to workers' rights. For example, companies can require that women wear contacts instead of glasses and heels instead of shoes because, and I hate using buzzwords, of literal sexism.

I was going to ask why she was beating herself up so over a prospective employee declining an offer but the flashbacks of her personally sitting in on the interviews for the first time as new prez and organizing a welcome event to establish a rapport with her new employees made me think she must have felt really discouraged like she personally drove them away and when they used an outside party to formally inform it left her with no avenue to discover what went wrong.

It also wasn't mentioned in the chapter, but if there was a pool of applicants she might also have felt a tinge of guilt for passing over other prospective hires needing/hoping for an opportunity for one that ended up being a dead end. Add on serious abandonment issues and yeah poor girl needs a cold one or two (or several) and a warm hug.

The amount of alcohol she imbibes must really take a toll on her liver. Or she's one of these mythical creatures who can chug until their hearts content one day and go to work at 8 without so much as a hint of a hangover... or sweating alcohol.

i'll keep saying this, but the main premise of this manga (a cold chief that gets lonely and horny at night and her overly caring employee that wants to take care of her no matter what) can 100% still work even if she knows he is her subordinate and not some "mystery man". There is no reason to keep it hidden. You can even have an arc of her figuring it out, him wanting to resign and her realizing she doesn't care if he lied because she knows how much he cares about her yadda yadda...

Japan's commitment to being desperately non-confrontational colliding with how abusive it's power dynamics are is a trip
Japan transitioned directly from a feudalism to capitalism over the course of 1-2 generations, so Japanese corporations have taken on many of the characteristics of feudal lords: they demand their employees complete devotion, and expect to be able control their private lives as well as their work lives.
