was Boss right? #incompetentboss #workplacewoes

Do you make sense of what Boss is saying? 🤷 Neither does Rei.

It was Rei's turn to present on the accounts. She found herself being repeatedly interrupted by the deputy sales head who made remarks about her punctuations, the spacing, the colours used in the presentation. Otter and Baldwin, whom Rei thought were her allies, kept quiet. Rei felt awkward and

One day, the female sales deputy head started showing unhappiness towards Rei. It started with arrogant looks then it came to a few condescending remarks about Rei's abilities. Jiao Ao would tend to join in with character assassination remarks towards Rei masked as jokes. During a HQ meetin

Downey and Pang.. the sidekicks. With the calefare, the main characters stand out more in The Boys isn't it? Not strong to stand alone, they need to fit in somewhere. #clique #workclique #politics

Looks matter, don't they? In this case, at least the body does in the #company . But because you are just the better thorn among the thorns, it doesn't mean you can be a #bully .

Other than Otter, Baldwin was the next person in the office that seems nice to Rei, showing care and offering help. In corporates, alliances are everything. Rei thinks she may have successfully build one. Did she?

Thinking that Otter was a genuinely caring person, Rei shared authentically about how she felt towards Princess. Is this the right move? Will you ever confide in your colleague?

Otter Khoo appears nice and warm to Rei.. at least in the beginning. Or is he? #workplacedrama #workplaceproblems

Women are often labelled #gossip . At Rei's workplace, the loudest voices belong to the.. men.

The negativity continues. After the mediation, Princess continued her act of being victimized and acting superior even though she is in a lower position. She would laugh louder while joking with the rest than usual when Rei walked past them. Princess would also make sarcastic remarks at what Rei ha

Weeks ater, Rei still lunched alone. She found this solitude to be peaceful than lonely. The colleagues still avoided her, but it was out of fear and caution this time, rather than intentional ostracizing over Rei.   Unlike Rei who had handled her own situation calmly, Princess started to create

Princess was truly scared after receiving an email on the mediation initiated by Rei. Princess avoided the first few scheduled mediation by taking MCs and urgent leave, and by avoiding Rei physically when they were in the office. Rei stopped corresponding with Princess even if Princess had urge

Colleagues look at her stunned. Princess and her clique smirked, "turned into a goth girl now?" "Was it midlife crisis?" Giggles. Rei just continued walking to her seat. She decided to pause, turned around - Princess choked in her laughter. Rei gently told Princess, "Just a

When Rei starts to detach herself from work, she found herself being affected again. Scene shows that Rei's emails and teams msg went ignored. She is getting burnt out as she is stressed out by the dynamics and is stuck with her work. She overheard a male colleague speaking up for Princess

The workplace drama continues... #workplacedrama #workplace mentalhealth #underminepower #manga

What do you think of Boss' response to Rei? Have you ever had unconstructive feedback given to you - telling you that you are the problem.. without telling you the context of why that was said about you. Your colleagues could have gossiped due to jealousy, power struggles or even for the pur

What do you think of this? Has a support staff ever undermine you? Most people assumed that workplace bullying would often come from the top, but some cunning ones would use gossip and lies to undermine their own manager. #workplacedrama #workplaceculture #powerplay #workplacepolitics

To make things worse, Rei's boss was promoted recently.. Everyone can tell her incompetency and insecurity.. Do you experience this? Your newly promoted boss often cares about their own needs - wanting to prove herself and exploring her newfound authority, instead of taking care of the team

The office welcomed her with smiles. Warm ones. Polite ones. The kind that said, “You’ll fit right in.” And she tried. She spoke softly. Listened more than she talked. Stayed kind, even when no one noticed. At first, everything felt… alright. Then, slowly—something shifted. There was one c
