So this episode Hachi’s dad Goro decides to take the ultimate tanshin funin to Jupiter. It seems the show makes a big point of contrasting personal ambition vs. social obligation. You can have a personal goal, or a social life. You can have a job, or you can have a family. It seems you can’t have both though. Is this always going to be an either/or proposition or is it just an issue in capitalist society?
I’m fairly certain that it was just a set up for the punchilne brushoff Edel game him. “I’m just a temp worker” has been a running joke through the series and is absolutely the correct take. Edel’s struggle as a contract worker is completely unrelated to the trouble facing half section.
You are not wrong that he was asking for some hostess style work from her but I’d say it would end at attentive care and flattery towards their new superior (pouring drinks, laughing at jokes, pretending you could actually appreciate their mentorship and advice). This would be typical office drinking party behavior according to Japanese office dramas. Highly gendered too, just like Lavie’s obligation is to make an ass of himself which he pulls off well here.
What makes you think the coders in your meetings will have better politics?
