The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes - Ch. 1

[thefabulouspotato]

i hope she has good reason for not doing anything about those maids. i would've fired their asses already

 

[Meri08]

So does she not have memories from the original owner of the body?
And mannn she's surrounded by crappy people😡😤

 

[Qelix]

Now I'm interested in how the company fared the following weeks. (Hopefully they couldn't hire or assign another scapegoat/workingbee/slave.)

 

[Siquall]

I hope this company is in huge debt now.

She should have left earlier, it's NOT a good idea to do free work for others, work overtime without getting paid for it, and getting no credit at all if you do a good job.

 

[Psychronia]

Yeah no. She is what the company should normally classify as "irreplaceable". I doubt anyone realized the sheer workload she took on, so even if she's somehow retroactively used as their scapegoat since her resignation, it doesn't change the fact that nobody can do the work she does, as competently as she does.

The company is gonna go under sooner or later.

Regarding the maids...I have no idea what caused her to be this unfavored, but that's...not a normal attitude towards nobility, is it? You'd think she'd have the authority to punish them without even giving an excuse.
Well, maybe her husband has something to do with that.

 

[Keansor]

Shame we won't get to see the disastrous results of them firing the hardest worker in the company.

 

[Wilhelm_Stenvall]

Being incapable of saying no is just as bad as pushing an overabundant amount of work onto others.

 

[Snowave]

never become too good for other people in work...

they will eat you like a dog...

 

[Hekoo]

I'm sad bc I had somewhat the same thing happened to me in my work life.....

I just hope that all workplaces like that burn to the ground every time it happens haha!!!!!!!

It's just sad that this is really common tho...

Just hope the story makes her happy :')

 

[hxhkakls]

toxic workplace
shit this is too real for me....

 

[Nicromatic]

Yeah, not really sure how a company like that would function, but I suppose it could also just be her team which was that toxic.
Also silly to let go one of your better workers who takes on the unwanted jobs.

 

[themanj]

personally i cant relate to her past life but... she is a duchess,,, she has the power now to fire the maids... they are employed by her

 

[Mathiason]

Thanks for the chapter!
Wonder if find out how quickly the company went under after firing their best employee? That co-worker is going to go through a well deserved hell now that he'll be expected to do the work he took credit for at the same high quality level without her or anyone else to dump it onto. Unfortunately bosses and companies who take big risks and blame their poor judgement and failures on the poor souls who desperately tried to make it work are not only numerous, but too arrogant to self-reflect.
As for the maids and servants, they really should know better than to be so unprofessional and arrogant towards their boss. All she'd have to do is have the husband show up in her room to see all the work they haven't been doing and get them fired. Can understand wanting to cut corners and being unhappy with the boss, but it's going to far to neglect it that much and insult her to her face with no reason other than think can get away with it.

 

[SOL_rocks]

Rereading i just want to take a moment to say i truly do like our MCs hair, well i am biased towards longer hair but it's very elegant indeed

 

[Postludium]

first time reading and the characterization is already stressing me out;;

 

[Nonya22]

I don't know how the company culture differs between Korea and western countries, particularly given that within a country work cultures differ, but if you're being asked to do more than you're able to, you should really say so. Could be your bosses haven't realised you're doing higher priority work for someone else, could be that there's work being assigned twice, could be that they're underestimating how much work a certain task is. Doesn't matter. Their job is to get someone to do the work. If you can't do the work because you're spending that time doing other work, asking you to do the work won't get the work done. And working yourself into a burnout costs the company a worker, meaning they'll have to train someone to replace you. This is inefficient and costs the company money. Now, if you regularly can't do the work being asked of you, then the work might not be right for you. Perfect world, you could go look for a better fitting job and they'd go looking for a better fitting employee, but we live in a job scarcity situation right now so....

But TL;DR: if your boss asks you to do something you can't, say something about it.

 

[Nonya22]

nvm

 

[izayamikaelis]

another employee of the month got ruined because a supervisor....i hope the director know about it and replace him .-.

 

[Perfect80]

as an accountant that is all bullshit, but whatever. Your supervisor would be fucked for not looking over your work. Thats their job.
