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.

Brilliant

Very accurate and realistic representation of a work day in a life of the newly assigned assistant to the boss, who's a creep and uses his status to fulfill his desires.

Do not expect anything graphic - everything is done very subtle and all the bad stuff happens behind the scenes.

Do not expect any action either - it is all just as low key and as mundane as it sounds like.

I recommend it, if knowing all that you're still up for it.
