111 Her Stressful Pandemic (2/2)

Her stories always began like that whenever she was going to start a story about how difficult her workplace has become.

Most of my clients love to tell their story which was mainly due to multiple reasons.

Females tend to be creatures that were heavily emotional compared to males while there may of course be a few unique outliers that break that statement but that is a fairly generalized view of them.

They usually desire to pour out their emotions like any other human beings when times get rough and hope that the person who's listening is paying attention and able to sympathize or empathize with them.

When married women become clients or customers this can be one of the reasons.

The spark that started their whole relationship was suddenly missing because they couldn't find the original reason for that spark or anymore fuel for that spark to continue.

Although it is rude of me to speak of my customers like this… rather than discussing this with a councillor or sitting down for a moment with your partner to talk about that loss, they instead visit people like me.

I really can't understand what goes through the minds of these people but I guess everyone's got their own experiences and circumstance that I hope would never happen to me.

Fumiko of course started to talk about her problems that varied from subject to subject: ”I had to recently promote someone to a new manager. There were so many choices. It was so tough deciding the fresh blood that has been racking up achievements or maybe the elders who have completely been loyal to the company for years.”

”Who needs the money more? The one who just wants to work so that he can raise some money for his grandchild's surgery or the freshman who has fell into a mountain of debt from the university system”

”Sometimes those people drop their jobs for circumstances I never know. Was I the one who ruined them? Would I have to live with the fact that each decision I may make will cause the destruction and split of a family”

…

”The workplace just seems like an all out war. Some avoid me because they'll think I'll frame them for problems or cause trouble for them while others keep getting close because they want to take advantage of me”

”And then some of my seniors started to see my success as a nuisance, making my workload a lot more difficult but i'm at least thankful for your assistance, Secretary Kei”

She was certainly stressed with her constant chattering but there's nothing I would or rather could do.

I'm just here to listen and help support her.

But it seems she has begun having a change of heart as she would usually mess up my name with her original secretary but it seems she's getting better at accepting me.

My name is Arisu however giving that personal information to your clients is a no go which is why we come up with stage names, mine is Kei.
