Anecdotes
The drugs Jane puts in the storage box are Alprostadil injections for erectile dysfunction.

Gaffes
It has been noted as a "revealing mistake" that Jane has a driver in the morning but not in the evening. There are two plausible plot lines for this: 1. It is critical for Jane to be at work earlier than anyone to prepare the office for the day, so having her driven to the office is worth the expense, but not so important at the end of the work day; and 2. her boss was headed to L.A. that night and was using the driver for airport transport. Both plot lines continue the theme of Jane having value only when it is convenient or worthwhile to the overall office.

Citations
Boss: [Over the phone] I'm not gonna yell at you. Am I yelling? No... Because you're not someone even worthy of that. Because you didn't even have the fucking courtesy to talk to me about whatever the fuck fantasy you decided to spew all over me... So, let me ask, do you want to keep this job?
Jane: Yeah.
Boss: Okay... Then send me a fucking apology.

Hit me like a horror film...

...only without the comfort of exaggeration or fantasy. Green employs exquisite camera composition to make the drab office environments a thing of sterile beauty, while Garner controls every uncomfortable on-screen moment with brilliantly still misery. Dehumanizing phone calls, oppressive mundanity, hopeless sexism. It's a painstakingly meticulous view into the soul-crushing work of the assistant to the powerful, especially when the roles are this cliched: man over woman.
