It's to defend her friend who was sexually harassing the delivery man.

Imagining this scenario if the genders were flipped was sending me. Like she's trying to keep her friend (Who made the delivery guy so uncomfortable that he ran into someone and spilled their coffee in his rush to get out of there) from getting in trouble for it and it's presented as this "This is morally correct" rah rah moment

the visualizations of emotions are a pretty good idea that's just sadly wasted on this show.

Have to disagree about it being a good idea, I felt like it's so clunky. It feels like those meme edits of Shenanigansen comics where they slap labels on the buff dudes, but it's presented entirely seriously.

Yeah, the double standards on that situation is crazy.

As far as the emotions drawn thing goes I may be biased because I like a webtoon called shen comix that used to be called owlturd comix and he does similar stuff.

That was the one I was thinking of, funnily enough. I think it's fine in that situation, when it's silly and meant to be a joke, but it just comes across as remarkably corny when it's presented in any sort of serious context

Oh yeah, they didn't execute it properly at all. Just the idea itself is good.

Why is everyone taking the office humour so seriously? I work in admin, and clunky is what often breaks the boredom! My colleague and I laugh about being sexually harassed, like people think it's a bad thing? Charles can sexually harass me anytime, lol. Please don't take it so seriously.

Why is everyone taking the office humour so seriously?

Probably because the show presents it seriously? It's not like, per your other comment, The Office where they establish an overly buffoonish environment that is clearly meant to be humorous, the impression that you get from this show is that it is meant to be grounded in reality.

The Office had a character putting another character's stapler in a jello mold and constructing a defensive wall out of pencils in the first episode, this show has a character feeling severely anxious because she's walking through the office in a camisole and getting called into her boss's office.

It's normal for humour to be adopted, in situations that aren't normal though. It doesn't have to be as exaggerated as, "The Office". Wardrobe malfunctions happen in my office environment, and always results in laughter.

The way I read it was, the boss saw a colleague with wardrobe malfunction. Removed them to a secluded place for a solution - closed blinds for privacy. It was pointed out the solution was unnecessary. Embarrassment spread to the party trying to offer the solution.

Humans are stupidly funny when it comes to fixing things. Serious does not mean humour vacates. Sam looked more embarrassed out in the open, than in his office, being provided a solution.

As an office worker, I saw the humour in how he tried correcting her performance, only to exhibit the same dishevelled attire in-front of the company CEO. Resulting in, "I'm watching you"! This is the kind of humour I love!
