Other name: ハケンの品格, Haken's Dignity, The Pride of the Temp

Description:

The corporate drama Haken No Hinkaku follows Oomae Haruko, an elite A Temp worker known for her blunt attitude, lack of smiles, and strict adherence to leaving work on the dot. Beneath her cynical exterior lies a painful past she closely guards. Her life crosses paths with Satonaka Kensuke, the newly promoted head of SF's Marketing Division. Kensuke is struggling to manage a ragtag group of subordinates and elevate his new department. When Oomae is assigned to Kensuke's department, she unexpectedly finds herself handling far more work than she bargained for. Haken No Hinkaku serves as a timely drama exploring the stark division and differing attitudes between temporary staff and regular employees. Highlighting the friction in interpersonal workplace relationships, the story reflects a real-world shift in labor conditions reported by the Labor Ministry, where relaxed regulations led to a massive surge in temp workers. Through this lens, the series examines how diverse professionals can overcome conflicts and work together.
